Synopsis: After years of torment and abuse by her obscure parents, this incomprehensibly beautiful and unassuming adolescent is constrained to commit parricide on her thirteenth birthday, alas to find solace. Perforce, her sinister past is revisited on her eighteenth birthday; cornered and hopeless this teenage girl goes beyond the realm of death to attain true justice.
April Fool's Killer is intended for mature readers only as it contains depictions of abuse, mystical lore and more. It is raw and foremost has a relatable message for all as it deals with social issues such as bullying, and violence against the homeless. It also explores magical realism with a transmigration to Deity status. April is the latest addition to the boogeywoman myth. Is she a villain or a superhero? She has her reasons for being the way she is. I can tell you that she is not a ghost, nor is she a simple witch but she can be intense.
Book 1 explores April's journey from a weak little girl to something more.
Book 2 will focus primarily on Mike's character arc.
Book 3 will explain the Cult's origins, their world, their spirituality, their powers and their members.
I borrowed the voices of Morgan Freeman and Lady Gaga as the additional omniscient, omnipotent narrator for the storytelling!
April is the reliable narrator of the story.
