<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Newlywed Kaitlin's world becomes catalyzed as she knows it when she runs into mysterious Finn Du Feu in the Scandinavian woods. A murder-mystery, paranormal romance, and domestic thriller all in one, <em>The Catalyst </em>is one not to miss! </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Kaitlin Maverick has become a bored housewife. After leaving a thriving life in Toronto to accompany her husband, Paul Maverick, on his professional pursuits in the scenic yet slower-paced life in Stavanger, Norway, Kaitlin's newlywed bliss subsides faster than she would have thought. Lacking stimulation and purpose, Kaitlin impulsively gravitates towards the thrills that ensue the moment she runs into mysterious Finn Du Feu and his peculiar group of friends working and living in the Scandinavian woods.</p><p> What begins as self-exploration through enticing experiences soon turns into a sinister web of lies- and otherworldliness. Kaitlin spirals down wicked paths, as mystifying encounters make her question everything and everyone. Who are these forest beings that allure so much yet reveal so little? Why is Paul so affected by the news of a murdered young woman on TV? What will happen when those closest to Kaitlin discover the true nature of her contact with The Group? Or when she discovers the true nature of herself?</p><p> As Kaitlin embarks on a quest to seize questionable opportunities, she soon understands the ripple-effect of consequences that could either destroy or catalyze her world as she knows it. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>The Catalyst</em> is a thriller that catches your attention within the first chapters. It's mysterious and bewitching...Lies that are kept secret made it more suspenseful and mysterious. The way the author created a specific connection between the characters was brilliant...There were moments that gave me chills and made me question everyone's intentions. The supernatural aspect was good because it too added to the mystery of the story..."</p><p> <strong> 'Living My Best Book Life', Blog</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"You get a little bit of everything with this story! Ultimately, this is a thriller story leaning on the edge of psychological but there's also some romance, and a little bit of supernatural elements. Selin combined them together in a way where it didn't seem like too much was going on and it wasn't overwhelming...My attention was captured from the beginning of the book, and it's not too long of a read so I was able to knock it out in one sitting which I also enjoyed because there's a big shock factor and intrigue from the very beginning!"</p><p> <strong> 'Brianna's Bookstagram', Blog</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"We all have people who we meet, or things that happen to us in our lives, that create a change within us...Whichever way they are manifested, they may catalyze us in a way that causes us to never be the same again- whether we like it or not. Selin Senol-Akin captures this very theme with ease...Though grouping her novel into the mystery genre would be accurate, <em>The Catalyst</em> is a novel that blends mystery with thriller and romance as well as women's fiction...Cliffhangers and open-interpretations galore, it is one of those stories that urges you to page-turn just to see if your suspicions are right...Her character development was rather strong as well, as I found myself attached to Kaitlin's journey on a personal level- wanting her to make the best decisions..."</p><p> <strong> Christine Weimer, author of 'Tainted Lionheart'</strong></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>"Selin Senol-Akin takes the reader into a world where innocence meets mystery. <em>The Catalyst</em> is a stay-up-all-night page-turner...a fascinating read with a surprising twist! </p><p> <strong>Cagla Ural, author of 'A Woman in the Captive City' </strong></p><p><br></p><p>"A psychologically-intriguing, captivating novel that will leave people thinking for a long time after they've devoured the book..."</p><p> <strong> Elif Kask Pisacane, author, recipient of the IRU Award, 2014</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"A non-conformist writer, Selin Senol-Akin knows how to peel off the multiple layers that disguise who humans (and other kinds) truly are..."</p><p> <strong> Edgar Smith, author of 'Gnuj&Alt', 'El Palabrador'</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Spine-tingling and awe-inspiring! Curiosity follows the reader on every page until the end. It both amuses and shocks you..."</p><p> <strong> Asli Brickhouse, Goodreads<br>
