    About this ebook

    Amanda thinks her biggest problem is that her boyfriend Jordan is moving away from their small town in the deep forests of Alberta. As they take a final joyride on his father's quad, they soon discover there is a much bigger threat a huge wild boar with rabies is about to cross their path. The boar attacks with razor-sharp tusks and soon Amanda is in a race against time as she must find help before Jordan bleeds to death from his wounds. Worse, the boar blocks their only avenue of escape.
