Haunted America

Haunted America Cover

What if there was no building you could enter that wasn’t haunted? That’s the question posed to America, and ONLY America. Its citizens wake up to find their properties infested with hostile spirits and monsters. Leveling the properties never fixes the problem. The haunts always come back. This leaves millions of Americans homeless and engulfed in death and anarchy. Ready to sweep in and pick up the pieces is the demonic corporation that caused it all.

An unforeseen hope arrives in a woman named Leslie Berrios, a fearless prosecutor locked in a tense case against a drug cartel. In the face of Armageddon, she is now forced to harness a power that she has fought to repress her entire life…the power to raise and expel the dead. In a country being rapidly overwhelmed, Leslie can be the x-factor that changes everything. Standing in her way is an army of monsters, both human and supernatural.

REVIEWS

“Haunted America treats fear like prime real estate, with the supernatural design  pure gold because each haunt arises from a mind, giving the nationwide outbreak rules that register instantly. The result is an A+ first book in The Haunted Trilogy, and I'm excited to see where Cortinas takes us next. Very highly recommended.” -Asher Syed, Reader’s Favorite, 5-star review

“Readers seeking a genre-busting blend of supernatural horror, dystopian possibility, and social and political examination that blend into one young woman’s changing life perspectives will relish Haunted America’s unpredictability and solid characterization. They can highly recommend it to an especially wide audience of readers seeking a powerful ride into a future no other author has postulated.” -Midwest Book Review
