Lynda Hales

The ShadowEater is back--a Guardian of demons as foul as the netherworld from which he comes. A rip in the veil of time freed him; he hunts to multiply his strength to further rend the curtain. He's been ordered to release Lucifer's soldiers on earth.

Kylee Madison, wounded and in limbo, is comforted and companioned by the ghost of her identical twin sister, Keira--her beloved sister brutally murdered by the depraved ShadowEater. Identical twins are his prey as the mirrored souls magnify his thirst for corruption and bloodlust. But Kylee escaped his clutches, and he's frantic to find her and complete his grisly ritual. The Guardian cannot rest until their reunited heads complete his Octorum of mirrored twin skulls. He refuses to settle for anything less than undeniable, unstoppable, inescapable dominion over the earth and all its denizens.

Can a demon Guardian from the deepest depths of Hades be defeated by mere mortals? Join Kylee and FBI Special Agent Tanner Montgomery on their journey into the very bowels of the earth and beyond in this tale of hunger, depravity and corruption on a level unknown to mortal man. Immerse yourself in another world where mystical secret societies struggle to control the wars raging in Heaven, dead sisters aren't really dead, and the last man on earth you'd want tagging along on a quest is sitting right there in your daddy's '57 Chevy.

Explore redemption, romance and rescue in a road trip to end all road trips. From the shores of Washington State to Arizona's Meteor Crater; from the Statue of Liberty to the moors of Scotland; come along with Kylee and Tanner as they struggle to understand and destroy evil in its purest form--the ShadowEater. Walk with them atop the highest plateau in the world--Mount Roraima; enter with them the doorway to Hell.

"Lynda Hales makes a grand entrance onto the women's fiction scene with her exciting paranormal romance, Identical Deception. She weaves a tale of familial loyalty and family secrets, following one's Fate and a heroine fated to follow a monster in the hope of preventing him from continuing to kill. Ms. Hales grabs the reader from the first few pages, and by halfway through this book has them on the edge of their seats, tantalized by the bedroom heat, but checking under the bed for the boogeyman all the same. It's a roller coaster ride of almost non-stop action and hot sex, all pulled together by the dire need to stop the murders, resist falling in love and yet tumbling into it all the same. Ms. Hales' unique and fresh new voice will speak to any reader who adores a good story told by a good storyteller."--Kristina Dalton, author of The King's Right, The Ring, Vampire's Lover, Taken, Unleashed, Untold and coming soon, Destined.
