The Savior

430 pages Something is happening in Cincinnati, Ohio. Some teenagers are being killed and others are committing suicide while taking a new drug called Zeffeen. Seventeen-year-old twins, Violet and Lily, are friends with their neighbor, Amy. When Amy kills her mother and commits suicide, Zeffeen is found in her bloodstream too. Lily becomes friends with Marnie, a girl who's considered an outsider in their school. Marnie invites Lily to join a philosophical club and Lily goes to the first meeting without her sister. It's the first time in their lives they have done anything separately. In another part of the city, in an old house in the woods, Orson cries because he can no longer hear the voice of God. His older brother, Dennis, who is a detective in the Special Cases Department, had created a sect for troubled teenage girls when he discovered Orson's “talent”. Dennis convinces his brother he should continue with the group. He has implemented strict rules, one of which prohibited anyone over the age of seventeen to join them. Dennis has big plans for his group. Plans that will shake not only Cincinnati, but the entire nation.
