In "The House in the Pines" by Ana Reyes, Maya has been haunted by the sudden loss of her best friend Aubrey for almost eight years. She, Aubrey, and Aubrey's boyfriend Frank had been an inseparable trio that summer nearly a decade ago, until Aubrey dropped dead right in front of Frank. When Maya finds a video showing a woman dying exactly the same way Aubrey did, she thinks it's a sad coincidence until she spots the man standing across from the woman moments before she died: Frank. Spurred on by her conviction that something has always been amiss with Frank, Maya heads back to her hometown in Massachusetts to find clues to trigger memories of that fateful summer with Frank. Finding scraps of memorabilia, Maya begins to see that she and Aubrey are part of a larger plan, and the only way she'll get answers is to find the house that started it all.
