BLURB:
Evil
comes in many forms…
One
by one, Laura Armstrong’s friends and adoptive family members are
being murdered, and despite her unique healing powers, she can do
nothing to stop it. The savage killer haunts her dreams, tormenting
her with the promise that she is next. Determined to find the killer,
she follows her visions to the site of a crashed meteorite in her
hometown. There, she meets Ben Fieldstone, who seeks answers about
his parents’ death the night the meteorite struck. In a race to
stop a madman, they unravel a frightening secret that binds them
together. But the killer’s desire to destroy Laura face-to-face
leads to a showdown that puts Laura and Ben’s emotional
relationship and Laura’s pure spirit to the test. With the killer
closing in, Laura discovers her destiny is linked to his, and she has
two choices—redeem him or kill him.

Excerpt
Two:
Felix
ran from the cabin toward the trail down. "Come on!"
Ben
followed close behind, panic hitting him. Why did Laura leave? They
were here to help defend her. Damn her! He never should have left her
alone.
"Felix,
why didn't you see this happening?"
"I
did."
Ben
grabbed the back of Felix's coat and lunged at him. Felix turned on
one heel and swung his arm out, holding Ben off like a child.
Ben
struggled to break free. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why
didn't you stop her? She's gonna die. I need to protect her."
"This
is the only way, Ben. Trust me."
"She's
the one person I've cared about in a long, long time. Please, don't
let her die."
Felix
released him. "I don't intend to. Now come on."
Felix
turned away and ran fast down the trail. His massive body moved
nimble over the rugged ground. He looked like a giant, dark beast
lunging toward its prey. Ben could only run after him. There was
nothing else he could do.
They
hadn't run far when a deafening blast pushed them to the ground. The
cabin exploded behind them in flames. Fire devoured old wood and
metal, dancing upward toward the sky. The heat grabbed at them with
fiery intensity. Ben could feel it burning his face and hands.
"Laura,"
he whispered, stunned by the violence aimed at them. Their enemy was
real. And he was here. Felix and Ben turned and both ran faster down
the mountain, lunging down the trail, grabbing branches to push
themselves along.
Felix
had to be right. Please, let Felix be right.
