Locals Only

By James Caligo

They ran to escape judgment. They found something far worse.

In this gripping psychological thriller, young lovers Michael and Jenna leave behind their strict, judgmental families in Illinois, chasing a new beginning in a remote small town in Wisconsin. But their fresh start quickly unravels. Locals are cold, unfriendly-and they have a disturbing grudge against outsiders, especially those from across the state line.
To survive in their new home, Michael and Jenna lie about who they are. At first, it seems to work. But soon the cold stares turn to veiled threats. Whispers spread. Someone knows their secret.
And then the murders begin.
A serial killer is stalking the woods that surround the town, and every clue suggests the couple is next. As tensions rise and paranoia infects the quiet community, Michael and Jenna must fight for their lives in a town that wants them gone-or dead.

This intense blend of romantic suspense, small-town mystery, and dark secrets will keep you hooked until the final shocking twist.
