I read the whole series and really enjoyed it. But one thing, and only one, seems out of place and either corrected or defined.
In your first story you write:
A chill ran up the teen girl’s spine causing her grip to tighten on the tire iron.
And this one you write:
(her) Cold hands met an anomaly along the bare floor, a rod of iron.
Did she lose the first one?
I also enjoyed my perspective that this guy was an old priest and blind. So he preferred his young quarry to be locked in a basement where he could blindly hunt them. That vision scared the hell out of me, like a snake searching out a small warm mouse. Nightmarish stuff.
