Greer Sands has opened a successful spa in the Los Angeles
suburb of Angeles Crest. Greer has psychic abilities that
she has tried to hide, but her close friends are aware of
her gift. She is able to see into the future, not by
pictures but by auras and colors. Her eighteen-year-old
son, Joshua, also has psychic skills, but he sees images of
the present. Right now he is seeing an evil spirit around
a young man named Simon, who is on a work group from a
juvenile detention center when they first meet. The
spirit wants to steal Simon's soul, but between Joshua and
the spirit of a little dog protecting Simon, this isn't
going to happen.
The winds are high and the land is dry in this part of
California. There have been fires in the area -- some
brought on by thoughtless smokers, and some started by an
arsonist. There is also friction between the citizens of
Angeles Crest and a development group owned by Rowland and
Susan Hughs. The Hughs are raping the land to put up
expensive, tacky homes so that other people can enjoy the
good life in this locale.
All of the core characters in SPEAK OF THE DEVIL were
introduced in EYE OF THE BEHOLDER, the first episode of
this psychic/paranormal series featuring Greer Sands.
There are enough back stories on these people to make DEVIL
a good stand alone read. The pace of this dark,
multifaceted tale is fast and furious; the characters are
outstanding; and, the plot is absolutely riveting. Fans
of Shari Shattuck will be greatly awarded with this new
offering, and then will have to wait patiently for the next
story.
She could see what they couldn’t... And it was going up
