This story follows two young critical care nurses, their friends and family, their loves and the patients they care for. The self-described 'BFF's', although polar opposites, find themselves caring for their beautiful dance instructor (Eve) after she is violently assaulted and then become the obsession of her attacker. They must fight to save her life as well as their own. Eve's attack brings back memories of a case from six years ago. A mother and daughter went missing and were never to be found. Due to similarities, the agents re-open that case. Determined to find Eve's assailant (and the missing mother/daughter), the agents embark on a hunt that takes many sharp turns. Beasts come in all forms and lurk in infinite darkness. The town's 'Beast' becomes obsessed with Davia and Holly, and stalks them at work and home. Meanwhile, a young teen is being held captive and hidden in a clandestine cellar. June Lovekin, the town's beloved author wrote, 'The Magical Fairies of Lake Flourish', which quickly made her famous. Her book is about a community of magical fairies. The princess fairy 'Violet' clips her wing on a branch and begins falling toward the lake. She must travel miles to find the special glue that will repair her broken wing, but first (and ironically) she too must get past 'the Beast'. The captive teen lives vicariously through Princess Violet. After all, Violet's life is much more exciting and magical than hers in captivity. There are many stories intertwined inside this novel. The unique characters each have their own secrets and stories to tell (stories of love, passion, acceptance, courage and determination). This story will keep you at the edge of your seat, while bringing you tears of laughter and joy and a yearning for more.
