Klappentext

***How do you survive the devil when he wears a halo?***At nineteen, Aria Mills left everything she knew behind and fled Elysium, a deranged cult community whose leaders prey on the vulnerable. Now, years later, she's a bartender in a small town building the life she once dreamed of. But when she discovers her childhood friend, Brie, is pregnant and missing, leaving two small children behind, Aria is dragged back into her past. Not knowing what else to do, Aria turns to the only semblance of family she has, Bruno Warner, a private investigator who believes justice isn't always served inside a courtroom. When Bruno's old case files connect Elysium to ritual murders involving human sacrifice, he brings in his closest friend, Lachlan Grey, a former Navy SEAL craving action in his civilian life. As the clock ticks to find Brie, Lachlan and Aria work tirelessly together, causing years of suppressed emotions between them to emerge. And when their investigation reveals that someone is following Aria, Lachlan will stop at nothing to keep her safe, even when it means confessing a dangerous secret. A storm is brewing, and no one walks away unscathed. Waco's David Koresh meets Supernatural's Dean Winchester in this high stakes, slow burn romantic suspense when a cult survivor faces her daunting past to find her missing friend, and a former SEAL must choose between keeping his secrets or keeping her safe. Perfect for readers who enjoy mysteries surrounding cult practices like those of ANGEL'S LANDING & WACO and the thrilling, edge of your seat suspense of H. D. Carlton's DOES IT HURT. The Chapel of Burning Echoes is part one of the Elysium Duet and should be read first. It ends on a cliffhanger and is intended for mature audiences.
