4 Elements of Mystery

College student Melissa Sanders, who has vision and hearing loss, seems to be unavoidably present wherever danger threatens in fictional Iandale, New Hampshire. Missy is just trying to help her friends. Her roommate, Zoe, is haunted by her unknown past through a recurring nightmare. Their dorm maintenance man, angry with God, has a granddaughter who is transfixed by fire. Missy knows that Alex has some dark secret he just won't share. As romantic interest sparks, college fire marshal Alex Marcus feels compelled to protect Missy from harm, until a violent misunderstanding breaks their marital engagement. Only then it becomes clear that Melissa has been the arsonist's target.

Snowy slopes, chilling behavior, and soothsaying encompass this horrorscope in the sequel to The Purging Fire. On a skiing winter honeymoon, Alex and Missy Marcus become involved in a nightmare featuring a ghost from their past. Dire psychic predictions, strange behavior including sleep walking, and bizarre events are more than enough to blow a simple vacation into a snowball effect even bigger than the present-time events could foretell. Alex and Missy become victims themselves when they try to help their newly found friend sort out the pieces of her confused past. All become engulfed in an avalanche of fear as circumstances turn deadly in The Snowball Effect.
