The Witch — Kealan Patrick Burke

Bryce Carrigan is a deputy in a dying town, a flawed man anchored to a violent past and struggling to create for himself and his pregnant wife a future he is no longer sure he wants. He is a man of questionable integrity, a man who has contributed little to the world and fears he will take even less out of it when he leaves.

And that departure may come sooner than he thinks.

On the night he encounters a strange woman at the scene of a car accident on the border of Milestone (a mysterious town famed among the locals for its high volume of inexplicable car wrecks), everything changes. For what she does will leave Bryce possessed of the conviction that the woman is no mere woman at all...but something as impossible and terrifying as the town in which she stands.
