Doubt — Anne-Rae Vasquez

Gold winner of Readers' Favorite Book Award

For readers who have a twisted delight in books with an "End of Times / Armageddon" theme and are fans of shows like "Fringe" and "Supernatural."
At 21 years old, Harry and Cristal are fresh out of university with their PhD's. Labeled all their lives as being 'weird' and 'geeky', they find true friendships with other outcasts by playing online virtual reality games. Now they face the challenges trying to get used to their 'adult' identities.

In book 1, Harry Doubt, a genius programmer and creator of the popular online game 'Truth Seekers,' has a personal mission of his own; to find his mother who went mysteriously missing while volunteering on a peace keeping mission in Palestine. His gaming friends and followers inadvertently join in helping him find her; believing that they are on missions to find out what has happened to their own missing loved ones. During Harry's missions, Cristal and the team of 'Truth Seekers' stumble upon things that make them doubt the reality of their own lives.

As they get closer to the truth, they realize that there are spiritual forces among them both good and evil, but in learning this, they activate a chain of events that start the beginning of the 'end of the world' as they know it.

Doubt is Book 1 of the Among Us Trilogy. Among Us is a book series which delves into the world of the supernatural and how it intersects with the every day lives of seemingly ordinary young people as catastrophic events on earth lead to the end of times. Among Us weaves the theme of a young man and woman, who while not fully understanding their 'abilities', are drawn together in their desire to find out the truth about the world they live in which is similar to themes used in J.J.Abrams' TV shows Fringe and Lost.
