Devastation and regret follow four lives forever changed by the mysterious Altering Machine and its corrupt creator…
The first victim of beauty-obsessed Paul and his machine is Becky Johnson, a quiet, friendly girl who crushes on Paul after they meet in the library. Despite the odd feelings he gives her, Becky won’t resist her feelings, and their tragic romance spirals until…
Dana Carter. The second victim. Because of her weight and looks, Dana is full of self-loathing. But after perfect beauty gives way to true horror inside Paul’s dreadful fantasy, she enacts her revenge, which leads to…
Jeremy Gregory. The third victim. Terrible voices haunt him after he is briefly trapped inside the machine, and he eventually winds up at a mental hospital, where he meets Allison Collins, a therapist dedicated to his well being.
Because of tragedy in her past, Allison dives into the rabbit hole of Paul and his mysterious machine to bring closure, but even when her own life and sanity is threatened, she discovers it is too late to turn back.
Reader Raves
“I thoroughly enjoyed this story; it’s a suspense filled book like I’ve never read before! It makes one ask…would life TRULY be everything you hoped for if you got exactly as you wished?”
“Erika has to be appreciated for bringing it all together properly.
The ending is a cliffhanger that begs for a sequel. Loved the book and highly recommended.”
“THIS WAS SO AMAZING. I am the biggest fan of medical thrillers due to my medical background. This had such a fun futuristic scientific vibe to it. We got four different stories, but they all came slamming together at the end and all got twisted together.”
“In the first two stories I wasn’t convinced this was exactly my style, not the authors fault but by time I got to the third story? I was hooked! Jeremy and Allison’s stories really tied it all together for me and actually made me wish there was more to this book!”
