One is done by my publisher, Roy.

were friends.
A
tale of resilience, horror, and betrayal, the survivors of the expedition are
hunted.
But
the human spirit endures.
As
the creatures grow hungry and desperate, a showdown is born between the people
struggling to retain their humanity, and the creatures seeking a massacre.
Told
from the diaries of young Virginia Reed and others in the party, the truth is
finally revealed.
One done by Lara, my editor.-->
The Donner Party has been led to the
slaughter, manipulated and coerced into bad decision after bad decision.
Trapped in the Sierra Nevada by a merciless winter, they are starving,
freezing and, even worse, being preyed upon by monsters in their midst … for some
of their fellow pioneers, people they thought were their friends, aren’t people
at all. They’re werewolves.
As human and werewolf alike grow ever
hungrier and more desperate, the party’s fight for survival becomes a showdown
between men and women clinging to their humanity and inhuman creatures determined
to leave no witnesses to their existence.
From the diaries and firsthand
accounts of the ill-fated travelers themselves, the true story of the Donner
Party has finally emerged.
My version, combining the two:

I actually dislike the opening sentence. Seems redundant to use the title to describe the book.
"After being manipulated and coerced into making one disastrous decision after another, the Donner Party are trapped in the Sierra Nevadas by an unforgiving winter. They are starving, freezing, and even worse... being preyed upon by merciless monsters in their midst.
Fellow pioneers, people they thought were their friends, aren't people after all..."
Not trying to be presumptious...just bored and tinkering around . Can't wait to read it.
And I still think this would make a great movie. Maybe you should now switch gears and give screenwriting a try? The bits I have read would make for excellent visuals. Hell...even a comic book adaption would be fantastic.
