An epic adventure with a whirlwind of surprises around every corner. - San Francisco Book Review
This thriller is brilliantly written and exceeded my expectations. -Reader's Favorite
Someone's killing the gods...
...and unfortunately, Alex is a witness. Haunted by visions she can't control and no one ever believes, the lonely mortuary technician clings to her quiet life among the dead. But the dead aren't always safe, and an involuntary stay in a mental hospital changes everything.
There she befriends a fragile woman with piercing eyes and a strange tattoo, only to discover she's Artemis-the Greek Goddess of the Hunt. Artemis and the rest of the surviving gods are just as shocked to meet Alex; as far as they knew, all the oracles had been wiped out during their fall from godhood centuries ago.
When a deadly force begins hunting her family, Artemis must reclaim the huntress she once was while Alex confronts her curse to uncover the truth behind the killings. But in the aftermath of the most devastating strike yet, Alex and Artemis are thrust into a dangerous web of ancient secrets, ruthless assassins, mysterious cults, and shattering revelations that leave no one unscathed.
Where Madness Lies is a fresh and electrifying contemporary mythological thriller, with fierce but flawed heroines, found family, a hint of romance, and a pantheon of delicious characters. Perfect for fans of American Gods, Ninth House, and adults craving a darker, deadlier take on Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
Reader praise for Where Madness Lies:
The book is smart, thrilling, and ultimately quite satisfying. - Megan M.
I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but it quickly proved to be one of the most addictive books I have come across in a while. Where Madness Lies is a contemporary fantasy/mythological thriller is filled to the brim with Greek mythology, mystery, suspense, action, found family, healing, and even a delicious hint of slow-burn romance. Honestly, what's not to love?! - E. Rosalyne, Fantasy Book Critic
This book was everything I want in a fantasy novel and more. The story telling, world building, and characters are all outstanding and it is truly a story that locks you in and keeps you there. I started reading at 8pm on a Tuesday and before I knew it the clock said 2am; I was so immersed the time had flown by, but I still didn't want to put it down! - S. Smith, Amazon Reviewer
This. Book. Is. Awesome. Heidi masterfully blends ancient mythology with modern life and true crime, creating a world unlike any other that leaves the reader totally satisfied and anxiously awaiting more. - Nicole, Amazon Reviewer
