About:

Would you trust the man who has watched you all your life? What if your life depended on it? Sometimes a stranger is all you’ve got between a rock…and a grave.

One by one, Laura Armstrong’s friends and adoptive family members are being murdered, and despite her unique healing powers, she can do nothing to stop it. The savage killer haunts her dreams, tormenting her with the promise that she is next.

Determined to find the killer, she follows her visions to the site of a crashed meteorite–her hometown. There, she meets Ben Fieldstone, who seeks answers about his parents’ death the night the meteorite struck. In a race to stop a mad man, they unravel a frightening secret that binds them together. But the killer’s desire to destroy Laura face-to-face leads to a showdown that puts Laura and Ben’s emotional relationship and Laura’s pure spirit to the test. With the killer closing in, Laura discovers her destiny is linked to his and she has two choices–redeem him or kill him.

Praise:

“Lyrical and creepy, Donna Galanti’s A HUMAN ELEMENT tugs on our heartstrings and plucks the gut-strings of horror. This debut thriller author is a true storyteller, highly reminiscent of Dean Koontz.” -Dakota Banks, award winning author

“A HUMAN ELEMENT is an elegant and haunting first novel. Unrelenting, devious but full of heart.  Highly recommended.” – Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of ASSASSIN’S CODE and DEAD OF NIGHT

“Such a beautiful, yet haunting debut novel by Donna Galanti. A HUMAN ELEMENT will crawl around in your cranium many days after you have finished the last page of the book.”– Michael McCarty, the author of over 30 books including LOST GIRL OF THE LAKE (with Joe McKinney) and the Young Adult book I KISSED A GHOUL

“Chilling suspense. A dark and haunting novel. Enjoy the ride.” – Kindle Book Review

“Donna must have picked up on my weakness for Dean Koontz, because A HUMAN ELEMENT echoes the bestselling author in terms of creativity, the supernatural and overall dark allure. Add in a little paranormal romance and you’ve got one delicious literary paranormal mashup.” –  Blog for the Paranormal & Mystical Minds. See full review.

“A thrilling ride full of believable characters, a terrifying villain, an epic battle for survival, and a love worth killing for.  The last third of the novel is a race to the finish, and I was glued to the pages, hoping the characters I’d grown to love would finally find the peace they deserved. A page-turner filled with fascinating twists and turns!” – Marie Lamba, author of WHAT I MEANT and DRAWN. See full review.
