THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS THE FOOTPRINTS WERE ETCHED IN THE SNOW FOR MILES, PASSING THROUGH WALLS AND CROSSING RIVERS...APPEARING ON THE OTHER SIDE AS THOUGH NO BARRIER COULD STOP THEM. In 1922 a farmer in Adamant, Arkansas, awakes to a noise on his roof and finds his snow-blanketed yard marked with thousands of cloven footprints. The prints vanish with the melting snow...only to reappear seventy years later near the gruesome killing of Rachel DeLaune. Years after her sister's unsolved murder, New Orleans tattoo artist Sarah DeLaune is haunted by the mysteries of her past. Sarah has always believed that her sister was killed by a man named Ashe Cain. But no one else had ever seen Ashe. He had "appeared" to Sarah when she needed a friend the most, only to vanish on the night of her sister's murder. The past bleeds into the present when two mutilated bodies are found near Sarah's home, the crime scene desecrated by cloven footprints. *(written by the German band Breathe) Buy the book from BookSense, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.

Dark Scribe Magazine "Faced paced and plotted with spectacular precison and guile, this is undiluted suspense at its very finest. Nervous readers should read it in full daylight." Romantic Times "The fast-paced storyline hooks readers who ponder whether this is a horror tale, psychological suspense, or some sort of combination as Amanda Stevens keeps the tension stratospherically high throughout. Keep the lights on as this one will reach your gut." The Mystery Gazette "A supernatural imagery mixes with psychology to create a terrifying look into a cold case, memory and the legacy of the present day consequences. Indeed, Amanda Stevens' brilliant use of imagery gives an unusual glimpse into the dynamics behind the murders." Merrimon Book Reviews "Amanda Stevens writes creepy thrillers with a Southern drawl." Bestselling author Heather MacAllister "Stevens is at her best with this one; the sickos are really sick and nothing is what it appears to be." Bestselling author Kay David "A truly creepy thriller, THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS will keep readers guessing and second-guessing just who is the culprit. Ms. Stevens' action-packed climax will keep readers on the edge of their seats. This story ultimately comes down to battle of good versus evil for one's soul."
