Two years have passed since the soul devouring demon had been slain and everyone's lives seem to be returning to normal, or so David Sanderson thought until out of the blue he is contacted by a journalist from Boston, Donna Fieldhouse. Another demon is feeding on the souls of the broken-hearted in Massachusetts, killing innocent people and leaving death, despair and heartbreak in its path, but something is different this time. The victims seem to be picked out by someone called GoM. Who is GoM, what is their involvement with the demon and who will be next to die? As David and Donna frantically try to find out who GoM is, they learn the terrifying truth of the depravity and evil that the demon possesses as they try to stop it claiming more lives. Here is a real page-turner, a horror story that provokes serious consideration of the struggle between good and evil. Which will win?
