"Is it what you suspected?" the first man, the silent man, asked. The leader cocked his head and locked eyes with Colleen. His monstrous, amber glare peered deeply into hers, violating her very psyche in some unexplainable way. Suddenly he grinned, revealing straight, gleaming teeth. `Oh what big teeth you have!' Colleen instantly thought. "Oh yes," he murmured as a giddy amusement rose from deep within him. "Yes, she carries his scent." Colleen gulped thickly and her blood ran cold. Somehow she knew he was talking about her father. "Besides," the leader went on, leaning in closer to her face, "I would recognize those eyes anywhere." After all, they were the exact same eyes he had hunted so many years before.

Colleen Pryce was only twelve years old when her father was suddenly murdered. Without warning and without mercy, he was ripped from her life and she was left to pick up the pieces alone. But the tragedy didn't end with the closing of the casket. Quite the contrary: it was only just the beginning. Aided by a mysterious guardian, Colleen must now face the monsters of her father's past as dark secrets slowly unravel in this deliciously devilish supernatural drama.

"""I'm not crazy - I'm just bereaved."" That's what I had to keep reminding myself in the wake of a recent family tragedy. Grief can be an all-consuming and completely overwhelming experience. Regardless who, when, why, and how, the death of a loved one will easily send even the strongest of us into a tail-spin of despair. And when the worst of the tragedy is over, we are often left feeling empty and shattered, struggling with more questions than answers: was there anything I could have done? Why did this have to happen? How is any of this fair? Many of these questions cannot be answered (at least not satisfactorily) but that doesn't mean that healing from grief is impossible. It is a process. It does take time. And it certainly isn't pleasant. But the healing can start with just one step: by just telling the truth of what's in your heart. All of the good, all of the bad, and especially all of the crazy."
