Scarred Souls (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781480875807)

Pastor Brayden Dupree is educated, dynamic, talented, charming, and a master manipulator who has built a mega church in Oklahoma with his wife, Ava, to encourage his congregation to follow him with their wallets open and minds closed to outside influences. But what none of their loyal followers know is that Pastor Dupree and his wife are also dangerous psychopaths.
While brainwashing parishioners into worshipping him in lieu of the God they claim to follow and obey, Brayden becomes bored. Believing he is untouchable, he sets his sights on larger illegal activities that will feed his insatiable hunger for bigger trophies to display in his imaginary case. While Brayden enjoys power at any cost, Ava craves the limelight and weaving cruel webs. Without checks and balances, Brayden and Ava appear free to mollify the ravenous evil inside of them as their children, David and Samantha, the illegal Mexican family trapped working at the Dupree estate, and eventually their own granddaughter, Emily, become their victims. Will any of them escape whole or alive?
Scarred Souls is the thrilling tale of two psychopaths as they hide under the guise of Christianity and give their followers a false sense of purpose and hope while they carry out evil acts.
