Candy Cutter is a supernatural thriller by S.J. Romero. After a freak accident in a swimming pool, seventeen-year-old Candace Marie Cutter (Candy) awakens from a coma with superpowers from Sunesis, a demon from Hell. Sunesis offers her a deal in which she must kill demon-possessed humans using her newfound abilities in exchange for her life. Meanwhile, Detective Michael Zuniga is investigating a mysterious criminal named the Taxman. When Candy kills a bunch of patrons at a high-end brothel, it makes her the target of two demon-possessed assassins sent by the crime lord Emiliano Delgado. With Sunesis hatching his plans, Candy finds herself embroiled in a deadly game between supernatural entities that will put her and her loved ones in mortal danger. How will she navigate these extraordinary circumstances?

Action-packed and full of mystery, suspense, and intrigue, Candy Cutter is the perfect book for fans of supernatural fiction and thriller aficionados. The narrative tone matches that of the hit Netflix TV show Lucifer with a seamless blend of humor, action, and bloodshed featuring a superpowered protagonist. S.J. Romero wastes little time in dropping the reader right into the midst of the action, and it's a non-stop thrill ride from that point on. Candy, Sunesis, and Zuniga share most of the page time, with Candy and Sunesis' mentor/prodigy dynamic serving as the pivot around which the plot revolves. An entertaining supernatural thriller that fans of the genre will devour with relish.
