📝 Description: Beings

Brandon Eldridge presents a thriller centered on Garrett, a man defined by his success, confidence, and sharp intellect. The narrative begins when Garrett is forced to defend himself against an attacker who reveals a terrifying truth: the assailant is not human. This discovery forces Garrett to confront a dark reality his mind resists accepting. The story follows Garrett as he navigates a crisis where time is running out. He must choose between survival and becoming a hero capable of saving those he loves. The plot raises questions about trust, asking who can be relied upon when identities are deceptive. The stakes extend beyond personal safety to the fate of the entire planet. Eldridge writes for readers who enjoy supernatural fiction with high stakes and psychological tension. The book suits audiences interested in modern horror where the threat is hidden within everyday life.
