JESSIE'S ROADS

When she drives,people die. And she's not sure she can stop.

Jessie Cordero has always been good at her job—a repo agent who moves through the working-class night, reclaiming vehicles from people who can't pay. She tells herself she's gentler than the alternatives, that she's part of a system even if she doesn't love it. But every car she takes is someone's lifeline, and her rage at watching vulnerable people crushed by an indifferent system is corroding her from the inside.

Then she hauls an ambulance from a rural hospital with a dark history,and something awakens in her truck. Strange accidents begin targeting domestic abusers and predators. The truck pulls towards emergency calls only Jessie can hear. And she starts feeling good about it—righteous,powerful,finally useful. But as her supernatural connection to the ambulance deepens,Jessie realizes the terrifying truth: she's not choosing these targets. She can't refuse. And she's being transformed into something that will use her protective rage as a weapon.

Detective Sarah Wade has been hunting cursed vehicles since she watched the last one consume a woman she couldn't save. Now she sees the pattern repeating, accelerating, and she's desperate to intervene before Jessie becomes what Tiara became. But saving someone from a curse might become its own curse.

Jessie's Roads is a race against transformation, a psychological horror that unfolds at highway speed, and a brutal exploration of whether awareness of evil gives you power to resist—or just makes the surrender more painful.
