Paranormal Romance - Short Story
An agency
compound and an isolated cabin – Present Day
For the last two
years, Josh Mackay has been a prisoner in all but name. As the only
man to ever survive the control of a Minder – a psi who can invade
and even destroy another person's mind – Josh is an anomaly and
zealously monitored by the agency hunting the Minders. Although
the agency claims only to have Josh's interests at heart, he knows
the truth. They want Kiran Brunner – the Minder who not only used
Josh but was also once his lover. With Kir still making contact
from time to time, the agency hopes to use Josh to capture the
elusive Minder.
Ambivalent about
his feelings for Kir, Josh only wants to escape the agency's
clutches. However, his plans fall apart when Brad Carlisle shows
up. A powerful, sadistic Minder, Brad had also once been Kiran's
lover and is infamous for toying with people's free will. Jealous
of the hold Josh still has on Kir, Brad moves in right under the
agency's nose and proceeds to turn Josh into a Zombie. His mind
and memories warped and in chaos, Josh is close to being lost
forever. When Kir finally comes for Josh, is there anything left to
rescue?
The Minders
series reads like a serial and is just as addictive. Josh and Kir
are a pair of lovers with an especially dark and twisted past.
They've each carried hidden agendas against each other, but that
hasn't stopped them from falling in love. Throw in the villainous
Brad, appearances by other Minders and the shady members of the
agency, and you get a story that is sometimes disturbing but always
riveting. While ZOMBIE can stand alone, I would recommend that one
start the series with the first book, MONSTER, to fully appreciate
the nuances of this universe and to find out the specifics of Josh
and Kir's past. Haunting and unforgettable, ZOMBIE will leave you
clamoring for more of this series.
