A runaway’s altered past collides with a fight against hidden threats.
Catrina's Nightmare combines a coming-of-age struggle for survival with science-fiction elements rooted in unauthorized genetic experimentation. After escaping a home shaped by her father’s cloning research, twelve-year-old Catrina survives through theft and begins uncovering troubling information about her family. Her experiences bring physical and mental changes linked to those experiments, while her bond with Michaela shifts from petty crime toward confronting a larger danger. The novel frames its conflict around unstable identity, family secrets, and the consequences of treating a child as an experimental subject. A distinctive structural feature is its inclusion of two separate endings, offering alternate conclusions to the central conflict.

Twelve-year-old Catrina has already felt the pain life can brutally throw at you. Her father, once a brilliant neurosurgeon, is now crazed and delusional. He was using his daughter as a guinea pig, experimenting with DNA and gene alteration, searching for a breakthrough formula to create advanced human cloning. Catrina finally found the courage to run away from home, living the life of thievery to survive. She would eventually learn the shocking truths about her family while associating with some unlikely characters: Fernando Bently, the charismatic curator; Rocco Cooper, an ex-con locksmith; and Ziggy, an outspoken homeless person. Over time, Catrina experienced spine-chilling side effects from her father's unproven, careless experiments, changing her genetics, altering her thought patterns, but mostly, and inconceivably, it changed her appearance. Catrina and her best friend Michaela became inseparable, thick as thieves, unaware that their lives will be transformed from their passion for stealing to fighting evil. Their jolting discovery leaves them with no choice; however, evil breeds in many forms, and things are not always as they appear.This novel has two completely different endings for your enjoyment, two shocking conclusions you won't see coming.
