Lock, stock, and lens, she's in for one hell of a week.
Micheline Helsing is a tetrachromat-a girl who sees the auras of the
undead in a prismatic spectrum. As one of the last descendants of the
Van Helsing lineage, she has trained since childhood to destroy monsters
both corporeal and spiritual: the corporeal undead go down by the
bullet, the spiritual undead by the lens. With an analog SLR camera as
her best weapon, Micheline exorcises ghosts by capturing their spiritual
energy on film. She's aided by her crew: Oliver, a techno-whiz and the
boy who developed her camera's technology; Jude, who can predict death;
and Ryder, the boy Micheline has known and loved forever.
When a routine ghost hunt goes awry, Micheline and the boys are infected
with a curse known as a soulchain*.* As the ghostly chains spread
through their bodies, Micheline learns that if she doesn't exorcise her
entity in seven days or less, she and her friends will die. Now pursued
as a renegade agent by her monster-hunting father, Leonard Helsing, she
must track and destroy an entity more powerful than anything she's faced
before . . . or die trying.
Shutter by Courtney Alameda is a thrilling horror story laced with an
irresistible romance.
