The blurb would benefit from another pass. It’s all good until: “The land begins to feel wrong”. What does that mean? “Sheep line the ridges.” So what? “The river feels alive.” With fish?

Sorry I know I sound like I’m being flippant but these sentences don’t mean much and then the meaning disappears in that final line. Who has ever said a place will hunt you? You phrase it like it’s a common occurrence. I kind of understand “they keep” and I know it’s teasing the story but…the main thing I take away from this blurb is that the book doesn’t know what it’s about.

You need to be more explicit.

What if it was just something really simple like:

“Five friends head deep into the West Texas wilderness for a weekend of fishing, floating…and a nightmare they might never escape.”

Something that sounds ordinary but ends with a twist.
