Jessica thought the worst part of being a New York City bike messenger was the traffic. Then an ordinary delivery sent her into a silent alley—and into the jaws of something that should not exist. When she awakens inside a facility hidden from the outside world, Jessica learns that everyone she knew believes she is dead. Her rescuers claim they are protecting her from creatures concealed behind supernatural disguises, and that an extraordinary inheritance has given her the power to see what others cannot. Under the guidance of the dangerously charming Agent Sam Johnson, she must learn to navigate a secret world of angels, demons, and beings caught somewhere between. But the ability to see through illusions does not make the truth any easier to recognize.
Wickedly funny, gruesome, and morally unsettling, “The Aftermath” is a supernatural descent into hidden bloodlines, seductive power, and the terrible consequences of trusting the wrong savior.

After losing his daughter, Richard retreats to his childhood home in the Missouri countryside, searching for the solitude he needs to write—and the strength to let go of a place crowded with painful memories. But something has fallen near the abandoned Pea Ridge mine, and the surrounding woods are no longer behaving as they should. The animals have disappeared. An acrid, ammonia-like odor drifts between the trees. Something powerful enough to tear through sheet metal is circling Richard’s house—and it seems drawn to more than blood. As night closes over the Ozarks, Richard and his faithful three-legged dog find themselves trapped against a predator unlike anything on Earth: a creature that can sense pain, fear, and the private darkness its victims carry within them. To survive, Richard must confront not only the horror stalking him outside, but the grief that has been consuming him from within.
