It Wants Us Alive - Paperback

by Rebecca Cantrell (Author)

From the co-author, with James Rollins, of the New York Times bestselling series starting with THE BLOOD GOSPEL comes another tale of pulse-pounding supernatural horror.

They say life begins at fifty, but for Hazel Byrne, demon hunter and certified badass, life gets a hell of a lot harder. After barely surviving an attack that left her partner dead and her body broken, she's ready to retire. Then whispers reach her of an underground facility overrun by demons summoned by a religious cult obsessed with angels. So she gets ready for one final mission.

Because the thing that killed her partner? It's back.

And it brought an army.

Armed with her battle-scarred harp-an ancient weapon of untold power-and her ever-loyal falcon, she heads into the fight alongside an elite squad of skeptical Hellstalker marines. They refuse to take orders from a woman with a musical instrument strapped to her back. But when the facility's walls start dripping demonic mist and screams ring through the darkness, they learn fast that Hazel isn't some washed-up hunter. She's their best shot at getting out alive.

Demons don't care about hot flashes, aching joints, or the ghosts that haunt her. They only care about blood. And she has plenty left to spill. IT WANTS US ALIVE delivers pulse-pounding action, razor-sharp wit, and a hero who proves that age is just a number when you've got demons to kill.

"Rebecca Cantrell pivots with her latest thriller IT WANTS US ALIVE into a bloody landscape of a world under siege. If Lovecraft had crafted a modern story with a conflicted female hero, it might look very much like this throat-clutching story of horror and mayhem. Lightning-paced, with characters that grab at your heart, every page demands the next one be turned until the story finally lets you go. Don't miss this stunning turn by an award-winning author." - James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestseller
