Contemporary Horror

When Aubrey Felton’s father dies from complications of MS, she is left unmoored and directionless. Battling a deep depression, she turns to an unlikely source to find a cure, a medical cult tucked away in the foothills of Colorado.
​
Dr. Celeste Giroux, founder of the controversial GenLife institute, promises a cutting-edge approach to battling chronic depression. But underneath the comradery and communal living, Aubrey begins to realize the gene therapy treatments aren’t exactly what she signed up for. Now her body is changing, and she is no longer quite human, but the craving for human flesh is all too real.
Baylin Rose has been running from his past and family for 10 years. Just when he feels comfortable enough to settle down, his sister shows up unannounced and explains that their father has gone missing. Presuming he has been taken by the same creatures that killed his mother and brother 25 years prior, Baylin is unwillingly thrust back into his family’s legacy of hunting the secret predators of humankind.
​
Drawn together by a mysterious bond, Aubrey and Baylin must work together to come to terms with their new existence and sever the ties that bind them to GenLife or die trying.
