Micheline is the youngest descendant in the Helsing blood line. Her and her friends work catching ghosts and other supernatural beings. They each have special talents that allow them to track down and properly extinguish these harmful beings. At the beginning of the story they are called to a particularly heinous scene where a ghost has killed people in a hospital. They are supposed to wait for backup, but Micheline decides to go in alone and her team is forced to follow. They are attacked by this being and contract a rare disease known as soulchain. Soulchain will kill them if they do not kill the creature that infected them in seven days time. Their parents wish them to lay low while they hunt the dangerous ghost, but Micheline and her team know it is them who must hunt it down to save their lives.
The plot is much more intriguing here than most readers will expect. There is a lot of backstory on Micheline’s family and how her and her father came to be so estranged. There is a fair amount of suspense and plot twists that keep the story active and fast paced. The characters are interesting as their talents and personalities are revealed. Plus, in this world no one is really ever safe, which makes the suspense all the more real. Recommended for fans of science fiction and suspense.
