Erica Ferencik launches her supernatural thriller "Repeaters"

Join Erica Ferencik for a Saturday Night Book Launch Party on September 17 at 7 pm at Wellesley Books. She will be entertaining us as she reads from her newest novel, Repeaters.

In this brilliant departure from her acclaimed work as a satirist, novelist Erica Ferencik proves herself a master of spine-chilling suspense.

“Repeaters is wild, sexy, scary and smart…a one-of-a-kind take on reincarnation.”
-         William Walsh, author of Questionstruck

Robert Tremblay of Gatehouse Media says: "Repeaters takes you to the darkest netherworlds of the human heart…not a book to begin at night if you need to sleep before dawn.”

Step into the demi-world of beautiful, ruthless Astra and her kind – unearthly creatures condemned to endless reincarnation unless they can love a human being.

Repeaters
by Erica Ferencik

Repeaters are everywhere.

Their bodies bear the marks of their death: a gunshot scar, a rope burn at the neck, a deep knife slash. They are the murdered among us; slipping out of one life and instantly forced into another, and another. Nothing will free them from this endless cycle of return, except to love another human being.

Of all Repeaters, there is one who has come back more than any of the others. The ruthless, charismatic Dr. Astra Nathanson seems to have everything — a brilliant career as a psychiatrist, power, wealth, and great beauty. But her inability to love has doomed her to an endless half-life as a Repeater.

Until now.

This time, she will do anything to have the love she needs for a final demise, even if she has to betray her own flesh and blood to claim it.
