I’m so excited to introduce you to my good friend, Elsie McKenney, the incredible author behind Eve’s Covering, a twisty YA thriller that will have you reading late into the night. This isn’t just any thriller, though—Eve’s Covering is the 2023 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal winner and draws deeply from Elsie’s real-life experience escaping a cult. Yep, you read that right.

I first met Elsie at a book signing for Eve’s Covering at a coffee shop in Shelbyville, KY, and we instantly connected. Since then, she’s become a constant source of encouragement and inspiration in my writing journey, always keeping me motivated and on track.

In Eve’s Covering, we follow Eve as she struggles to make sense of her cousin Alice’s mysterious death—an investigation no one else seems willing to take seriously. Things spiral quickly when Eve’s family becomes entangled with a religious cult, leaving Eve trapped in a world of dangerous ideologies and leaders determined to control her. When her rebellion puts her family at risk, Eve reluctantly agrees to join the cult’s “mission” in the Soviet Union, but what she finds there is far from charity work. As friends begin to disappear and a sinister plot unfolds, Eve must summon every ounce of courage to save them all, even if it means risking her own life.

Elsie’s own life journey, from her escape from a cult in northern Michigan to surviving supernatural experiences and finding herself homeless in a foreign country, is as breathtaking as the novel itself. She has poured her heart, faith, and personal testimony into Eve’s Covering, a story that not only keeps you on the edge of your seat but also reminds you of the power of divine protection.
