Yet frightening things did seem to happen around her. Objects fell and should have broken — but didn’t. And when people displeased Jennifer, when lovers made her angry, she became possessed by a power she could neither see nor hear. All sound was swallowed. The air became heavier and heavier. And her deadly energy unleashed an evil so impossible that it could not be believed.
But it must . . . .

Drawing on Jewish mythology and folklore, the novel also combines well-drawn characters and police procedural to create a memorable and humane horror novel.
