Eager to escape their families’ annual blended vacation, lifelong “frenemies” Maura and Liz take a ferry to an island deep in the Chesapeake Bay. While beautiful on the outside, the girls soon discover something sinister haunts the island residents.

A centuries-long curse demands a yearly sacrifice to keep a vengeful evil at bay, and the islanders will risk everything to keep their secret. Kidnapped and trapped underground, Maura tests her mettle as she navigates through tunnels that are a maze of horrors at every turn.

Maura knows she may not win the battle, but she won’t be taken out easily. She’s going to make certain that the person who abducted her will remember her as the one he misjudged.

Meanwhile, Liz scours the island looking for her lost friend. With help from Jacy, one of the islanders, Liz soon learns that Maura has been chosen to be this year’s island sacrifice.

Both girls must push past their physical and mental limitations and find the strength to escape Caethian Island and the evil that it was built upon. “…perfectly planned… “The Tourist Trap”…is a crime, mystery, thriller and horror book that will leave you questioning your guesses…an unpredictable web…” Online Book Club Review“…horrifying, thrilling and heart-stopping… A definite must read for horror lovers.
