Skinwalker

by D.L. Pearl

Nina lives a simple life as an office worker. She has a small apartment, a dull and lonely life and not even a cat or two for companionship. But there is a peculiar and mysterious old man who lives in the apartment next door and Nina is very curious about him. Before she has a chance to crack his hard shell he suddenly disappears and a younger, enigmatic and irresistible dark stranger takes over his apartment.

Daniel is on a blood-thirsty mission to seek revenge for an incident he witnessed as a child. Now that the old man was finally gone, he could set up home in his apartment temporarily to find answers to all the questions he had, and to carry out his murderous plan. What he didn't expect was the distraction of his enticing and curious new neighbor. If he wasn't careful, his uncontrollable desire for her could ruin everything.

He cannot fight his carnal urges towards Nina even though it could jeopardize his plans and even put his life at stake. Nina cannot rest until she gets to the bottom of the mystery surrounding her new sexy neighbor and the strange old man who disappeared. Before long she becomes entangled in the deep dark underworld of the Navajo Skinwalker legend - a class of outcast shapeshifting shamans and witches who practice black magic and are unscrupulous, fierce, vicious and bloodthirsty.

About the author

I am a shy, quirky, book hoarding, coffee chugging, chocolate binging lover of the written word. Gothic literature has always been one of my great loves and so my journey as an indie writer has allowed me to immerse myself into dark fantasy and paranormal romance.

I was born and raised on the tiny island of Bermuda and currently reside in the UK. My imagination runs wild in the little cafes and walking the cobblestone streets. Best of all is the architecture of secular medieval and English Gothic style buildings!
