The Darkness

Cate stepped out of the gym to the parking lot and moaned. Her back tire sat flat against the ground. "Oh, sheets!" She tossed her gym bag across the asphalt. "Now what?" A tear welled in her eye. It was times like this that she missed her dad more than usual. "Looks like you've got a bit of a problem. Let me give you a hand." Cate turned to find Dylan-of-the-gym right behind her. He'd crept upon her without making a sound. Oh God, did he see me having my tantrum? She tried to be nonchalant as she walked across the lot to retrieve her bag. He squatted next to the tire. "There's a nail in the sidewall. You got a spare?" "Yes, but I have no idea how to change a tire." "Don't you worry. The cavalry has arrived." Edward Olson presents himself as the all-American guy. His stunning looks, captivating blue eyes, and charisma make it easy to meet women. But Edward has a dark secret-behind his charming smile, a vicious serial killer lies in wait. Edward is driven to kill by an entity he calls The Darkness. Believing this creature is the evil that possesses him, he struggles to rid himself of the creature he thinks has stolen his soul. Nurse Cate Derry, Edward's naïve girlfriend, is the newest member of the hospital's critical care unit with secrets of her own. Her rocky relationship with Edward and her connection to a detective on the case plunge all three into a downward spiral to a world where no one is safe. The Darkness is a harrowing journey into the depths of evil and the battle to overcome it.
