She looked again to the night sky, surprised by her heightened perception of things. Cicada chirped a mysterious serenade as clouds danced across the face of the moon.
When twenty-six-year-old graphic designer Lily Moore shapeshifts for the first time, Atlanta police detectives consult wildlife experts to sort through the bizarre forensic evidence she leaves in her wake. Her traumatic transformation coincides with murder and Lily finds herself the center of a mad vortex of area crimes.
On the run, Lily turns to her younger brother to help unravel the secrets surrounding her boyfriend’s death as well as unlock the mysteries of their Chinese heritage. When a loved one goes missing, Lily finds herself scrambling to find purchase in this new world where there hasn’t been balance for a century.
As she learns to master her new preternatural abilities, she must cut through the lies of those around her. With the police and a killer hot on her trail, can she solve the mystery of being First Born or will family secrets prove deadly?
Excerpt:
Her new email account was [email protected]. Well, maybe the Star Wars reference would help her use the force. She continued to feel light-headed with a strange itch radiating throughout her back. Maybe it’s Frank’s fabric softener. She reached back to scratch. What the f—?
Something was on her back. And it was big! What kind of critters live in their garage?She twisted from side to side, unable to shake the thing loose. Panicked, she raced toward the front door, screeching like a Howler monkey. Something bumped against the narrow hallway walls, clinging to her in hot pursuit. Its fierce backwards pull caused her to lean forward as if she were walking into a fierce wind. She popped free as she hit the opening of the front hall. Her momentum flung her forward onto her knees.
Frazzled and disoriented, Lily panted while white stuff swirled in the air around her. Her legs shaking, she stood up. Ever so slowly, she turned to face her adversary.
Her mouth opened in a silent scream. She was so freaked out that she had lost power.
It was worse than anything she could ever imagine.
