Author Kristina Gallo’s horror suspense novella plunges the depth of darkness, ensnaring the reader within its folds. Beware of pillars of the community!

When introverted and antisocial Alex Wilson discovers she has an inoperable brain tumor, she’s quick to embrace her dark side in using a razor to slit the throat of a derelict who accosts her on the seamy side of town. On the run from London to Cornwall, she meets a rich businessman who can provide her a second chance at life through, “adrenochrome” aka “white rabbit,” an adrenaline drug which simulates youth and well-being.

The adrenaline rush is on as the underground nefarious procure fresh sources of blood for the coveted drug, and Alex is forced to play the game—her way, while law enforcement is on her trail. For meting out justice as she sees fit, this villainess earned my respect along the way.

I highly recommend this suspenseful page-turner with unforeseen plot twists and turns.
