Broken Souls
When necromancer Eric
Carter returned to Los Angeles after fifteen years on the run he knew
things were bad, but he never imagined how bad they could get. Sister
murdered, best friend dead, married to the patron saint of death, Santa
Muerte.
And things are just getting worse.
His link to the Aztec death goddess is changing his powers, changing him, and he’s not
sure how far it will go. He’s starting to question his own sanity,
wonder if he’s losing his mind. No mean feat for a guy who talks to the
dead on a regular basis.
While searching for a way to break Santa Muerte’s hold over him, Carter finds himself the target of a psychopath who can steal anyone’s form, powers and memories. Identity theft is one thing, but the guy does it by killing his victims and wearing their
skins like a suit. He can be anyone. He can be anywhere.
Now
Carter has to change the game, go from hunted to hunter. All he has for
help is a Skid Row Bruja and a ghost who’s either his dead friend Alex
or Carter’s own guilt-fueled psychotic break.
If things go right, he just might survive a week where everything is trying to kill him and nothing is as it seems.
