Paranormal researcher Dr. Ryder Chase and his team is once again called in to assist FBI Special Agent Devon Jeffers and team of agents. Mysterious figures are caught on camera and even witnessed by the team themselves, only for them to vanish before they can be caught.
When a group of amateur sleuths sneak onto the property to see the rumored activity for themselves and are killed on the FBI team's watch, they are desperate to unravel Northern State's secrets before more people die.
The team races for clues as their investigation unleashes an outbreak that threatens the entire city of Seattle and all of humanity.
A New England native, Seth had a storybook childhood growing up in Connecticut. He graduated college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 1993 and transplanted himself in the Pacific Northwest soon after.
Immediately falling in love with northwest topography, Seth made the most of it becoming an experienced hiker, whitewater rafting guide, mountain climber (alright, his friends dragged him up a couple of NW peaks) and skier/snowboarder. Seth now resides on Florida's Gulf coast, trying not to be distracted by dolphins and manatees swimming by.
A serial entrepreneur, Seth has created and partnered with several cutting edge healthcare companies and helped launch two magazines.
Seth supports Hire Heroes USA, Christmas is Not Cancelled and the Mel Green Institute to Combat Human Trafficking with his books.
In the book, a skilled team of ghost hunters joins forces with federal agents to uncover the mystery behind attacks on trespassers at an abandoned psychiatric hospital by what appears to be zombies.
The climax is particularly thrilling. The story delves into the unknown, explores fear, and examines the resilience of the human psyche. With its gripping plot, well-crafted characters, and an intense atmosphere of dread, the book masterfully blends horror and thriller elements, blurring the line between the living and the dead.
This was an entertaining book with an interesting twist on the typical zombie genre. I liked the reluctant alliance between the federal agents, especially Agent Jeffers, and the psycho-paranormal investigators. The ending was exciting, but I thought the buildup was a little slow and the middle dragged a bit, spending a lot of time investigating the hospital and the shadowy tunnels. If you like zombie or paranormal mystery stories, you'll like this one.
