The Flame Never Dies (2016)
“The beam from Anabelle’s flashlight wavered as she gaped at me over Eli’s shoulder. “You think they infected your sister?”

We assumed they were threatening Melanie to get me to turn myself in.” Which I’d done. “But what if they were really trying to get me to break her out?” Which I’d also done. “When we rescued her, there ...were almost no consecrated Church members in the courthouse. We assumed we’d successfully lured them out, but what if they were running on a skeleton crew already because any of the possessed were at risk of contracting and spreading the virus once Melanie had been infected?”
“Nina, you’re about to become an aunt!” Eli called. “The rest can wait.”
