Description
Preordained is a supernatural mystery thriller about a cop in Murrell’s Inlet, SC who’s seeking to solve a serial murder case that has biblical undertones.
Operating under his self-appointed moniker, the Star of David Killer taunts lead detective Art Somers, the Georgetown County Sherriff’s Office, and the FBI, who are all attempting to solve the serial case. In the killer’s mind, his father preordained the abductions and murders. They are his way of fulfilling prophecy.
Detective Art Somers has never given much credence to the local superstitious or religious beliefs in his county, but while working to solve the case, he starts to have paranormal visions that compel him to question his own sanity. It’s as if something or someone in the spirit world is attempting to communicate with him.
His partner and love interest, detective Angela Hunter, sees things differently. She believes deeply in the supernatural, just like many in their county. As unexplained paranormal events and missing time frames invade Art’s life, Angela helps him deal with the unthinkable reality that the serial killer they’re looking for could be Art himself.
Who’s the killer? Art? Someone else? Join Art and Angela in this mind-bending whodunit and uncover an irrefutable truth that neither of them wanted to face.

This book was creepy and thrilling and amazing! I couldn't put it down.

I really liked this book! I normally don't read anything paranormal, but the description intrigued me and I'm glad i read it. This book actually reminded me of The Stand by Stephen King, which is one of my favorite books ever. Art, the main character is a divorced dad & detective looking for a serial killer of 12 year old boys, and he has a 12 year old son as well. He keeps having these visions and losing time and he is not sure how they connect to his investigation or his real life. As he slowly puzzles out the crimes and what has happened, the suspense really thickens and I could not put this one down until I finished it. I really had no idea what was going to happen--I thought it would be more of a witch craft twist rather than a religious one but it was totally gripping and I was GLUED to the end of the book. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
