'A deliciously tense, edge-of-your-seat reading experience that will have you turning the pages well into the night' LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN

'A fun twist on the classic slasher trope' HEAT

Never turn your back on a friend.

Jade, Stef and Zoe are hiking Washington's Bones Hollow Trail, braving cougars, snakes and the storms that roll in without warning. The friends' paranoia isn't helped by listening to a true crime podcast about the serial killer whose hunting ground they're hiking through.

Then when Stef twists her ankle - badly - there's no one to hear them scream for help. The only sign of life for miles is a cabin that looks straight out of a horror movie, with an owner who's a little too eager to invite them in.

The friends must soon find a way to survive as things spiral out of control. After all, who can you trust when your back's against the wall? But unfortunately for them, the only thing more twisted than this nightmare is their friendship...

Critics' reviews

With creepy trails, toxic friendships, and approximately zero good decisions, Backstabbers offers a fun twist on the classic slasher trope
A deliciously tense, edge-of-your-seat reading experience that will have you turning pages well into the night, desperate to know what happens to this trio of women hiking in the former hunting ground of a serial killer. With the spine of a fast-paced thriller, Backstabbers is, at its core, a story about survival: against the elements, against predators, and most chillingly, against the people you consider your closest friends. One of the most twisted and shocking explorations of female friendship I've read... and I loved every pulse-pounding moment. (LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here)
Filmic, fresh and frightening with shocks galore. Three best friends hike across the hunting ground of a serial killer in this survivalist thriller meets slasher story. High octane and incredibly tense! (ALLIE REYNOLDS)
Like the Blair Witch Project with a serial killer, Backstabbers is full of twists and unexpected turns. Every time I thought I'd identified the killer, I became lost on the map. Perfect for fans of murder podcasts, hikers, and people who don't completely trust their best friends. (TASHA CORYELL, author of Love Letters to a Serial Killer)
Don't you dare turn your back on Backstabbers, a deliciously sinister sojourn into true crime country, full of cunning switchbacks and eviscerations, where every shocking twist threatens to send the reader's jaw plummeting straight down (CLAY McLEOD CHAPMAN, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes)
Jabore keeps the intensity at a fever pitch throughout, balancing raw terror with the more subtly haunting collapse of long-standing friendships. Readers will be on tenterhooks from the first page to the finale
If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too? Eliza Jabore turns your parents' taunt into a blistering thriller that takes off at breakneck speed and doesn't pause for breath until its utterly delirious finish. A biting satire of true crime, a spine-tingling tale of a survival, and an electric exploration of just how far we'll go for our besties, Backstabbers is bloody, brilliant and even laugh-out-loud funny. It sinks its animal claws into you and doesn't let go (LEAH ROWAN, author of Marion)

I like the setting I love books set in the wilderness. It had potential but the characters were so insufferable that reading it made it a chore to go through. jade was the only one remotely rational. The other two were horrible obsessed with a podcast went into the woods to look for a serial killer with no preparation whatsoever. Just a map that only one character had with no idea where is what and armed with only one knife lol im sorry what . I liked the growth that Jade went thru she truly changed for the better. it would have been a more fun reading if not for the Zoe character.
