"If you love a good tense novel with deep moral undertones then this one's for you!" -Amazon
When an enigmatic town doctor saves the life of Anisa Worthington's dying son, she abandons Christianity in favor of devotion to the cult of Santa Muerte or Saint Death. Some believe the mysterious skeleton saint will protect their loved ones, help in matters of the heart, and provide abundant happiness, health, wealth, and justice.
But others, including the Catholic Church, call the cult blasphemous, evil, and satanic. Anisa introduces Santa Muerte to her friend Helen Randon, and soon one of Helen's enemies is brutally murdered. Town residents begin plotting to rid the Bible belt of so-called apostates. Anisa suspects Helen is perverting the good tenets of Saint Death. Before she can act, a terrifying nightmare propels her to the Dominican Republic in search of Franklin, her long-lost and unstable brother.
To her horror, Anisa learns Franklin is worshiping Saint Death with evil intentions. As a fanatical and hell-bent lynch mob tightens the noose, mysterious murders begin occurring all around Anisa. Unable to distinguish friend from foe, she's thrust into a vicious life-and-death struggle.
"If you're looking for a horror with a slice of religion, I recommend this book. It's one of the greatest horror novels I've ever read and it's not a cliche plot. I rate this book 10/10." -Goodreads
