Natalia is dreading the future her parents have chosen for her; a life in a nunnery. She knows her one escape is to get pregnant. However, the man she thinks will do the job proves to be almost the devil himself and she finds herself on the darker side of life. A poisonous bite from him drags her into his world; a world of surprises she’d never have dreamed of.

Laura sees strings. Strings are memories people create during heightened emotional episodes. These strings are left behind on inanimate objects, creating a history that Laura can read. Not a bad skill to have for an antique appraiser. However, not all strings are good. When she bumps into a serial killer with twenty-three bloody strings attached to his knife, things become personal. Her best friend, Carol, is dating him. Laura suspects Carol is his next victim.

Seroje is a high-functioning autistic with a photographic memory. She has found a niche in mainstream society, hired as an investigator by OSLO, a watchdog company, because of her unique ability to observe, recall and report with a high degree of detail. But OSLO prefers well-balanced employees and, as a loner, she’s become a blip on their radar. So when quiet billionaire Craig Manor asks her out to dinner, she agrees, thinking to please her employers.

Banter is a gun for hire. After she does a hit in a park, she meets a good looking detective, Corey Van Baine, who is investigating the case. But he’s married. When Banter learns his marriage is on the rocks and his wife has left him, she becomes his unlikely therapist to help him overcome the devastation.

Banter used to be a hired gun until she teamed up with Detective Corey Van Baine. After solving a mass murder case and him figuring out who she really is, she’s forced into retirement. That’s short-lived when his department is stumped with a new killer. Is it a serial killer or another hired gun on a killing spree?

Banter, an ex-gun-for-hire, now works for the police force. She's also a bit of a tom-boy, therefore dresses and makeup aren't her thing. However, she finds herself working undercover as a dolled-up dame in a bar, trying to snag a drug lord, who wears a strong cologne that she can smell a mile away. Meanwhile, she's now a wife and mother with two young boys who create their own challenges with a husband who starts coming home late.

The long awaited event has happened. Natalia has finally delivered her daughter, Victoria. Uri couldn’t be happier, but there’s a ripple in the Viperian community. Victoria is very different looking. Many are wondering if she’s even a Viperian offspring. There’s even a petition before the Council demanding a definition of what makes a person a Viperian. Natalia and Uri have a lot on their hands.

Natalia has become part of the Viperian community. She’s changed from the naive, over-protected teenager, to a knife slinging lady to be reckoned with. But not all is good in Hell or Viperia. The vigilantes who brought down the Church, now have their eyes on Sherri, a top Council member. Unfortunately, Natalia’s man, Uri, is one of them, and the evidence isn’t supporting their attack on Sherri.

SJ Wilke has graduated from writing humorous articles for Information Technology trade rags to using her degree in Psychology and expertise in computers to create books with a psychological edge to delve into the world of murder, the supernatural, and that nice girl who just happens to be a gun-for-hire. She loves to make her characters as real as can be, drawing from the people she has met around the world and her own experiences. She is a world traveller and never knows where she’ll sit down with her laptop to write. Her three four-footed editors and critics (the cats) monitor her on a daily basis.
