99 Souls

by Gabriel Burns

Ninety-nine bodies have been found dead worldwide with "God is Blind" burned into their torsos. When Sarah Winslow's eight-year-old son, Brandon, is abducted by a man who bursts through her door in an explosion of light, she is terrified that her son's kidnapping will bring the total to one hundred. Reflecting on the man who took him, she realizes she's up against something more terrifying than a serial killer; she's up against something supernatural.

The police suspect Sarah killed her son and that the abduction story is an attempt to conceal her crime. When they try to arrest her, she takes off on her own, desperate to find her son before it's too late. But if Brandon was taken by something supernatural, why? What does it want? And is his abduction connected to the "God is Blind" murders?

Nothing in-or outside-the world will stop Sarah's quest to find her son.

“Gabriel Burns offers up an imaginative mashup of serial killer crime procedural and paranormal noir with an unnerving villain, non-stop action, and a plucky kid you’ll root for until the very end."
—Emily Carpenter, best-selling author of Burying the Honeysuckle Girls

“...a haunting story that brings our worst fears to the surface and then whips them into a frenzy of panic and helplessness. What resources we have, become useless; what hope we manufacture, is crushed... A powerful story, with twists and turns up until the very last words.”
—Richard Thomas, author of Breaker and Tribulations

[Sharon Healy-Yang · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don't start this book as bedtime reading. The suspense will keep you up all night! It did me. Sarah's son is kidnapped by a being with supernatural powers who has horrific plans for this special child. Next thing you know, the police have turned on Sarah, so she's on the run with her friend Jim trying to track down and save her boy Brandon before he becomes yet another victim of his kidnapper's soul-shattering master plan. The deft plot twists of the a race against time and the unraveling of the kidnapper's machinations keep the reader guessing. Nice character development and well-crafted writing make the adventure pleasurable, though scary!

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was full of suspense, twists and turns. Not the type of book I would typically read but I enjoyed it. It was well written.

[G Haze · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not my typical genre. I really enjoyed this read. So many twists & turns. Only 4/5 stars because there are some situations that became so detailed that I felt it took away from the book.
