Trapped in Whittier (Book 1)

A dark animal spirit has followed Trent to the tunnels under Las Vegas, and it wants to possess him for its own vengeful purposes.
Trent struggles to maintain control, but releasing the animal spirit inside him may be the only way to save the life of a woman he’s just met and to survive being hunted by something that may not even be human.
Buried in Alaska (Book 3)
Trent Walker has never believed in the supernatural. But even he can’t deny that a dark force has attached itself to his mind and is using him as its deadly instrument of vengeance whenever and however it sees fit.
Desperate to rid himself of his supernatural burden, Trent and his girlfriend return to the strange, isolated town of Whittier, Alaska, where his troubles began.
What neither of them realizes is that, while they scour the shrouded Alaskan forests for an ancient shaman who may be able to help Trent, a twisted monster of a man who is supposed to already be dead is hunting them as well.
