Tragedy strikes Lone Oak in the form of a dead girl, and it's just the beginning.
"For me personally, the balance of horror versus thriller was spot on... a thrilling new crime horror series that I, for one, don't want to miss out on." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS)
The peaceful town of Lone Oak has, in fact, always rotted beneath the surface, with tales of blood feuds and bootleggers. Still, it suffers a devastating blow when a young woman is murdered and her body displayed. Sheriff Willow Donahue is out of her depth with a cult on her doorstep, and Special Agent Llewyn Finch is the only one who can help her stop it-if Willow can learn to trust in Llewyn and his unique abilities.
As Llewyn digs into the case, a bizarre message in a dream sends him down an uncertain path. He must sort out fact from fiction before it's too late.
"With every step I made into the story's plot, the more the suspense, tension, and thrill intensified. ...The Shadow over Lone Oak is a magnificent piece of work." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Keith Mbuya (5 STARS)
"A gripping horror/thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, The Shadow over Lone Oak is a wild rollercoaster of a ride you don't want to get off." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Pikasho Deka (5 STARS)
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first installment in the "This Fallen World" series of dark, creepy, horror thrillers. Better turn on all the lights!
AUTHOR: An avid reader and writer since middle school, C.J. Sears is the author of the "This Fallen World" horror/thriller series. In 2013, he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing from Arkansas Tech University. After languishing a few years at a mundane job, C. J. set out to pursue his passion. Inspired by "Twin Peaks" and "Resident Evil," he began working on what would eventually become "The Shadow Over Lone Oak" - the first of several books chronicling the adventures of eccentric Special Agent Llewyn Finch. In the fall of 2016, C.J. gave his life to Christ. That faith now informs his storytelling and ongoing blog. He believes that fiction is a uniquely valuable medium for delivering both entertainment and essential truths. His emphasis is on the power of the parable rather than preachiness, and he affirms that no message should get in the way of a good story. C.J.'s range of interests and hobbies include gaming, occasional poetry, swimming, and amateur photography. He mostly spends time with his family and loved ones, particularly his two rambunctious cats and silly goof dog. The quiet life suits him fine, but when a new vision of monsters and mystery beckons, he's no stranger to answering the call.
