Next Exit - The Gifted, #2

They only wanted to fix what was broken.
Instead, they walked into something waiting to break them further.

Once, Stephanie, Babs, Quinn, Chris, John, and Henry were a single, inseparable circle—closer than family, bound by years of shared summers, secrets, and promises. But time, distance, and unspoken hurts fractured them. Now, they've chosen one last night together—one final chance to reconnect, to mend whatever cracked between them.

Their chosen stop: a quiet roadside bar on the edge of nowhere.
A place that should've been harmless.

Instead, it becomes a nightmare.

Inside Ruby's Place, the rules of reality bend. The bikers aren't what they appear. Bodies don't stay down when they should. The exits don't lead where they should. And violence—unrelenting, impossible violence—pours into every corner of the night.

As terror unfolds, friendships are tested, loyalties are pushed to the breaking point, and the fragile bonds they came to repair become the only thing standing between them and death.

Not all of them will survive.

And those who do will never be the same.

NEXT EXIT is a dark, emotionally charged supernatural thriller about broken friendships, desperate courage, and the brutal price of trying to save the people you once thought you'd never lose.
