Review Summaries
"Amanda Harris feels she is the luckiest woman in the world. She has inherited money from two relatives, is in business for herself and has just purchased a condominium in Glendale California. But soon after moving in to the first home she's ever owned, strange things begin happening. Household objects disappear than reappear, causing Amanda to fear for her sanity. But when she and her daughter are bitten by a supposed insect and her daughter seeks medical attention for the infected bite, the discovery of an implanted chip sets off a chain of events that challenge not only Amanda's sanity but her courage and stamina as well.
