Paper Machete (Emily Ellis Thrillers)

Kidnapped by Volga County's serial killer, Emily "Mills" Ellis finds herself trapped in a luxury building with everything she needs: art supplies, the time to create, and the support of a budding family. Everything, that is, except for food and rest.

While her best friend Livvy searches to find her hiding place, Mills battles with her beliefs in art and her purpose within a creative universe. Falling deeper into the faith of artists around her, Mills has to choose to either participate in events to move on to the next realm where artists are revered, or fall back to the realm of reality, where she and the world will never be saved.
