Repeaters are everywhere.
Their bodies bear the marks of their death: a gunshot scar, a rope burn at the neck, the slash of a knife. They are the murdered among us; slipping out of one life and instantly forced into another, and another. Nothing will free them from this endless cycle of return, except to love another human being.
Of all Repeaters, one has come back more than any of the others. Ruthless, charismatic Dr. Astra Nathanson seems to have everything - a brilliant career as a psychiatrist, wealth and great beauty. But her inability to love has doomed her to an endless half-life as a Repeater.
Until now.
This time, she will do anything to have the love she needs for a final demise, even if she has to betray her own flesh and blood to claim it.

"A frighteningly good read - it's Mommy Dearest with scales. Count your blessings that evil Astra is not your mother. Ferencik is an exciting new voice in horror."
