Trapped in Whittier (A Trent Walker Supernatural Thriller Book 1)

Just because you don’t believe in something doesn’t mean it can’t kill you.

Trent Walker is a mentalist who makes his living off of people believing in magic and the afterlife, even though he doesn’t believe in anything other than logic and sleight of hand.

The two hundred residents of the strange, isolated town of Whittier, Alaska, are convinced that vengeful spirits and a horrific curse have doomed them to lives of eternal darkness.

When Trent finds himself trapped in Whittier, with no way to leave until the next morning, he's forced to escape the townspeople, reassess his own beliefs, and fight for his life against unnatural forces that his logical mind can’t explain.

Trapped in Whittier: Prologue

The man shifted uncomfortably in the fold-up metal chair. He had done this before. They all had. But he had never gotten used to it.

The growling. The snapping of the teeth. The shaking of the cages in the dimly lit room. He knew the bars were strong enough to hold them—that there was no way for them to escape, but it unnerved him to think of what they would do to him and anyone else who got in their way, if they did.

None of them had gotten loose before, but the Elder had made a special point of warning him this time—told him to stay vigilant—that there might be trouble coming their way. Maybe not this month, but soon.

The man turned his head from the cages, calmed his breathing, and tried to will his heart to beat slower. He reached into his pocket, found the little oval pill, and dry swallowed it.

Maybe it would also help if he changed his way of looking at the situation. He wasn’t their warden. He was caring for them and making sure they survived another full moon.

That made him feel a little better. But he still wished this could be done another way. These were his friends. His neighbors. His family.

But until the morning came, they were also dangerous and had to be treated that way.

Tonight, they were no longer humans.

Tonight, they were animals.
