Mirrored, Darkly (World of Shadows)

Mirrored, Darkly
Some seductions are fatal.
Detective Sarah Murphy is used to the horrors of the city, but the body in the Elysium Hotel breaks all the rules. The victim was exsanguinated-drained of every drop of blood-with no sign of how or why. Sarah's investigation leads her into the city's underground metal scene and into the arms of a woman named Lori.
Lori is dangerous, beautiful, and impossible to resist.
As Sarah's obsession deepens, she begins to question everything: her past, her sanity, even her own reflection. Because the killer isn't just taking blood... she's changing people. And Sarah may be next.
Perfect for fans of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo meets Let the Right One In, Mirrored, Darkly is a gritty, erotic psychological thriller that walks the knife-edge between love and horror, reality and nightmare.

Who is Martin Parece?
I'd really rather you not ask me questions like this! Well, are you asking who I am or "Who am I?", because the latter is a completely different question that forces one to look deep into the heart and mind. It is the question humankind has been asking since there was humankind.
Who I am, on the other hand, is just some guy who loves to read and tell stories. As I look back, I have always been a storyteller, from my first short stories to my first faltering attempts at playing Dungeon Master. As of the taking of this picture, I am forty four years old, and I still love TTRPGs (here you can find some free, fan-made content for Alien, my latest obsession), all sorts of fiction, heavy metal (note the Iron Maiden t-shirt) and horror movies. In fact, this last will be readily apparent should you read my anthology Tendrils in the Dark. A lot of shout outs, homages and influences there...
I returned to my creative endeavors around 2009 as my business of seven years began to burn down around me during the recession. I suppose adversity causes growth, and though I shelved my projects for a few years, I returned to them with the publication of Blood and Steel in 2011. I discovered many of the pitfalls of self-publishing and have worked relentlessly to avoid them in future publications. Regardless, people seemed to enjoy the world of Rumedia, and I returned to it with five more novels.
In the end, I'm just a guy who loves to tell stories, read other persons' stories, and head bang in the car. I hope you'll join me on the journey!
