Cogitatio - (Shadows in the Wind) by McKinley Aspen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Kathryn Beck's life was forever altered when she was recruited out of college into an elite, top-secret organization whose members possess supernatural weapons and which takes on challenges that no other group is equipped to handle. But, her next mission in Alaska turns her world upside down all over again, when she's framed for a terrible crime and tossed helplessly into prison.

Severed from her team and unable to use her supernatural gifts, Kathryn must navigate the cruel and arbitrary caprices of the criminal justice system as she struggles to free herself, while forming alliances with other inmates and battling a sinister conspiracy behind the operation of the remote prison-a conspiracy that threatens to ensnare not only her, but dozens of other innocent women caught in its clutches.

In a place where enemies become friends and friends become monsters, Kathryn will face her biggest challenge yet.

Review Quotes

"Kathryn Bek is back, and this time she will have to get by without her team, worse even her power won't be available to help her. In the ultimate test of wit and skill, she'll be required to rely on faith alone if she's to survive this ordeal and what she learns won't just save her but those around her as well."

"It's all about the characters, and being connected to who they are. In order to do that, you have to have to be a writer who knows how to craft a brilliant story. To truly expose who the characters are and show their vulnerability. McKinley Aspen is that writer. The reader is drawn in from the first line all the way to the last, holding you captive in the story as it unravels and weaves."

"This second installment of Kathryn's adventures is riveting-Aspen's masterful plot will have readers at the edge of their seats. This time, the stakes are even higher, and Katheryn must question everything she knows; her faith in the system, the strength of her team, and even her own family history, all while unraveling a complex scheme and taking down a violent syndicate. I'll be first in line for book three."
