Soul Desire: A Psychological Thriller

SOUL DESIRE is a darkly compelling Psychological Suspense Thriller in the vein of Shutter Island and Rosemary’s Baby. A young couple moves near a mysterious Seminary castle where beguiling artist, timeless Caroline, draws them into a century-old power cult. Fallen CEO hotshot of a VR (virtual reality) game company, Richard Sorrel, and socialite-family black sheep, Nikki, see hopes for a fresh start become a nightmare as they are manipulated by the revolutionary cult of Pendragon and its deadly game of power. Powerful locals—flamboyant realtor Elizabeth, Seminary Professor Grundow, novelist Stephan, unpredictable tease Caroline, and exotic Islander Shanara—lure the young couple into a dark web. Richard, who seeks answers behind increasingly labyrinthine and violent occurrences, must overcome insecurities to discover his repressed ancestral paranormal gift. His reality virtually shifts like one of his video games as his obsession with Caroline grows. Nikki, their relationship under strain, falls under the spell of Amazonian-like Shanara and her seductive peculiarities. "The more Richard is drawn to Caroline and the town, the more he and Nikki are pulled into a labyrinth of intrigue and power contests, not unlike the games he designs. ...the novel kept this reviewer turning the pages." Manhattan Review. "An unpredictable, sexy page-turner!" Mill Valley Literary Review.
