Cherubs

Everyone loves the Cherubs. Sarah is the only one who can't. After a spectacular meteor shower lights up the Montana sky, strange furry creatures begin appearing across town. They are warm, affectionate, and impossibly lovable. Families welcome them into their homes. Children refuse to let them out of their sight. Within days, the entire community seems enchanted. Everyone except thirteen-year-old Sarah. The closer she gets to a Cherub, the harder it becomes to breathe. While everyone else insists the creatures are harmless, Sarah can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Then the family cat disappears. Soon more pets vanish. Neighbors begin acting strangely. People forget conversations they had only hours before. Those who once seemed dependable become distant, distracted, and strangely protective of the creatures they adore. Every explanation feels just believable enough-until the evidence begins to point toward something impossible. Sarah knows she isn't imagining it.With the help of her father, her best friend Justin, and the town's quirky amateur radio operator, Sarah begins uncovering clues no one else seems willing-or able-to see. As the mystery deepens, they discover that the disappearances are only the beginning. Whatever arrived during the meteor shower has a purpose, and every hour that passes gives it a stronger hold on the town. But convincing anyone of the truth may be more dangerous than discovering it. As friends become strangers and trusted adults slip beyond her reach, Sarah must rely on her courage, her instincts, and the few people still willing to question what everyone else accepts without hesitation. If she fails, losing a few pets will be the least of the town's worries.Blending suspense, mystery, and science fiction with unforgettable characters and steadily building tension, Cherubs is a page-turning adventure about trusting your instincts when the entire world insists you're wrong. Perfect for readers who enjoy eerie small-town mysteries, creature features, and stories where ordinary kids become humanity's first line of defense.Cherubs is the thrilling first novel in an unforgettable trilogy.
