Charley Davidson has enough going on without having to worry
about twelve hellhounds hot on her trail. She is, after all,
incredibly pregnant and feeling like she could pop at any
moment. But, just her luck, twelve deadly beasts from hell
have chosen this time to escape onto our plane, and they've
made Charley their target. And so she takes refuge at the
only place she thinks they can't get to her: the grounds of
an abandoned convent.
Of course, if hellhounds aren't
enough, Charley also has a new case to hold her attention:
the decades-old murder of a newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing
in the shadows of the convent.
Add to that the still unsolved murder of her father, the
strange behavior of her husband, and Charley's tendency to
attract the, shall we say, undead, and she has her hands
full...but also tied.
With twelve hellhounds after her, pregnant
Charley Davidson takes refuge at the only place she thinks
they can’t get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent.
But after months of being cooped up there, Charley is ready
to pop. Both metaphorically and literally since she is now
roughly the size of a beached whale. Fortunately, a new case
has captured her attention, one that involves a murder on
the very grounds the team has taken shelter upon. A
decades-old murder of the newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing
in the shadows is almost enough to pull her out of her
doldrums.
Charley’s been forbidden to step foot off the sacred
grounds. While the angry hellhounds can’t traverse the
consecrated soil, they can lurk just beyond its borders.
They have the entire team on edge, especially Reyes. And if
Charley didn’t know better, she would swear Reyes is getting
sick. He grows hotter with every moment that passes, his
heat scorching across her skin every time he’s near, but
naturally he swears he’s fine.
While the team searches for clues on the Twelve, Charley
just wants answers and is powerless to get them. But the
mass of friends they’ve accrued helps. They convince her
even more that everyone in her recent life has somehow been
drawn to her, as though they were a part of a bigger picture
all along. But the good feelings don’t last for long because
Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up,
supernatural life….
