Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural
In the tradition of The Passage, screenwriter and producer
Joanne Reay makes her fiction debut with this furiously
exciting supernatural thriller—the first in an exciting new
trilogy!
Working the Homicide squad, Alexis Bianco believes she’s
seen every way a life can be taken. Then she meets the
mysterious Lola and finds out she’s wrong. More weapon than
woman, Lola pursues a predator with a method of murder like
no other: the Tormenta. If you think you’ve never encountered Tormenta, think
again. You’re friends with one. Have worked for one. Maybe
even fallen in love with one. They walk amongst us—looking
like us, talking like us. Coercing our subconscious with
their actions. Like the long-legged beauty that seduces the goofy geek
only to break his heart, causing him to break his own neck
in a noose. Or the rockstar, whose every song celebrates
self-harm, inspiring his devoted fans to press knives to
their own throats. The pusher who urges the addict toward
one more hit, bringing him a high from which he’ll never
come down. The tyrannical boss, crushing an assistant’s
spirit until a bridge jump brings her low. We call it a
suicide. Tormenta call it a score, their demonic powers
allowing them to siphon off the unspent lifespan of those
who harm themselves. To Bianco, being a cop is about right and wrong.
Working with Lola is about this world and the next...and
maybe the one after that. Because everything is about to
change. The coming of a mighty Tormenta is prophesied, a
dark messiah known as the Mosca. To stop him, Bianco and Lola must fight their way
through a cryptic web of secret societies and powerful
legends to crack an ancient code that holds the only answer
to the Mosca’s defeat. If this miscreant rises before they
can unmask him, darkness will reign, and mankind will fall
in a storm of suicides. Nobody’s safe. Everyone’s a threat.
