When the clock is ticking toward resurrection or death, salvation comes at the highest price.So, how far would you go to save your soul?The Archangel has returned. This time, he's chosen Mia Walker as his next disciple. She has until Easter Sunday to prove her worth—or join his gallery of the damned.

When struggling addict Mia Walker disappears during Holy Week, Detective Gabriel Roth recognizes the chilling signature of a serial killer known as The Archangel—a religious fanatic who abducts sinners, subjects them to twisted trials of faith, and executes those who fail on Easter morning.

Mia is forced to endure not only the agony of withdrawal but a series of psychological tests designed to break her spirit. As a timer counts down to Easter Sunday, she must solve religious riddles while confronting the demons of her past—including the suicide of her devoutly Catholic father.

Detective Roth, haunted by his failure to save The Archangel's previous victims, races against time to decipher the killer's religious symbolism. But as he uncovers a web of church corruption and buried secrets, he realizes this isn't just about punishment—it's about a perverted quest for redemption that hits closer to home than anyone could imagine.

For Mia, survival means not just escaping her prison, but facing the darkest corners of her soul. In her captor's twisted theology, suffering isn't just the path to salvation—it's the only way to determine who deserves resurrection.

As Easter morning approaches, both hunter and hunted discover that the line between faith and fanaticism is written in blood. And sometimes, the most dangerous believers are those convinced they're doing God's work.

THE EASTER DEADLINE is a heart-stopping psychological thriller that explores the razor's edge between redemption and madness, asking the ultimate How far would you go to save your soul?

Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, and Alex North—a dark, relentless thriller that will keep you turning pages long after midnight mass has ended.

❤️❤️❤️ Redemption Meets Terror in a Twisted Holy Week ❤️❤️❤️

The Easter Deadline by Harper Vale is an unflinching dive into the darkest corners of faith, addiction, and the human will to survive. With pulse-pounding tension and masterful psychological depth, Vale paints a chilling portrait of a serial killer who believes salvation must be earned through suffering. Mia Walker’s harrowing journey from despair to defiance is as gut-wrenching as it is inspiring, while Detective Roth’s desperate search to stop a madman becomes a race against time—and his own past. Smart, terrifying, and deeply emotional, this is a thriller that cuts to the soul.
