Xander Drew faces off against another being of immense power and destruction as a ghost from the past -- an experiment gone very, very wrong -- returns to bring dread and death to the people of Coral Beach, Maine. In the chaos a young girl goes missing and the entire township -- friend and enemy alike -- must band together to find her. Not for the faint of heart.

“A mature and complex tale with many twists and turns that is sure to please fans of action, drama, horror and mystery. If not for a dip in the middle portion, this would easily be the best book – thus far – in the series. As it stands, it may be the most entertaining.” - Jay Paulin, author of Emma Awesome
“Is unrelenting and full of surprises. You will never want to leave Coral Beach.” - Paul Carberry, author of Carcharodon “It is the writing of it’s generation: visual, to-the-point and in-the-moment.” - The Northeast Avalon Times
