This one will scare the socks off you! Do not---DO NOT--- read it late at night if you are alone. Wait until another person is with you, because you'll need someone to help you fight off the all-too-plausible logic that drags you deeper and deeper . . .

From back cover: TERROR HAS EVOLVED. In the wild interior of the Yucatan, far from the lazy beaches of Cancun, two young couples and some new-found friends venture to the site of an ancient Mayan temple, in pursuit of aonther in their group. What started out as a day trip spirals into a nightmare when they reach the ruins . . . and discover the terrifying prescence that lurks there.
