Sticks & Stones - (Cut & Run) by Abigail Roux (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In order to survive in the wilderness, they'll have to survive each other.

After the case they just closed, it's unsurprising FBI Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett are having trouble passing their psych evaluations. The only thing worse than a near-death experience is trying to lie to a shrink about it. And the only thing worse than that is being stuck on desk duty after failing. The two of them are soon ordered to take a vacation, before their exasperated coworkers finish what the serial killer started.

Hoping to bolster their partnership-in every sense of the word-Ty invites Zane to visit his family in West Virginia, and Zane accepts. The mountains can't be that different from Texas, right? Snakes are snakes.

When they join Ty's father and brother for a hike deep into the woods, the Grady family's dysfunction quickly becomes the least of their worries. The weather is bad, the wildlife is bloodthirsty, and their fellow hikers are ready to break out the banjos. Zane and Ty still have each other, but whether that will make the trip-or break it-remains to be seen.
