Hell Sent
A paranormal thriller where damnation is not metaphorical enough — old secrets crawl out of the shadows.
About this book
The secret war is real — and you're the ammunition. A high-octane urban-fantasy thriller where vampires hide in boardrooms, not coffins.
Eleanor Lythe was supposed to be just another snack. Bitten by an ancient vampire at a high-society art gala and left for dead, she was reached first by the secret agency known as the Vigil. Their Cure stopped her transformation but left her something else — a human with a predator's overclocked metabolism, a sixth sense for pheromones, and a power she can barely control.
When a possessed corpse in a maximum-security prison delivers a message from beyond, the world's shadow agencies go to red alert. The Judas Purse — the thirty pieces of silver that bought the betrayal of Christ — has been found. In the wrong hands the coins offer absolute power; in the right hands, a slow descent into madness. From an extra-dimensional demonic antique shop in New York to the silver-masked inquisitors of the Vatican's secret army, Eleanor and a team of “cured” veteran killers race to recover them.
The hunt leads into the heart of a North Korean nuclear bunker, where ancient Nazi vampires are preparing to trigger a Third World War — and Eleanor must decide who to trust: the agency that made her a weapon, the inquisitors who want to exorcise her, or the monster growing inside her own soul.
A relentless “Men in Black meets Bram Stoker” thriller — Hunt's supernatural-thriller register, with its own hard-edged vampire lore and a heroine who is, quite literally, too poisonous to eat.
