Bonus points if you live in a house or building with more than two stories.
If you are still here, I hope you have some tissues because Beyfuss is about to traumatize your life. Avery lives in a cult. In fact, Avery's family is the whole cult because Avery's daddy has apparent trust issues. I mean of course he is out of his mind because hello he is a cult leader. Some terrible things happen to Avery, and by the fourth chapter you will search Google for online therapists.
A fire erupts, giving way to an escape for Avery and her brother Cole. They try the homeless life for a hot minute until they get arrested. Then all kinds of hell breaks loose. Avery and Cole discover a horrible secret that will destroy their lives forever.
You really want to cheer Avery on and hope she lives her best life. Sadly, Beyfuss cares not a fig what you want. I might have to double up on my depression meds for a week now. This book is gritty, raw and puts real trauma in the light. I recommend reading it if you can handle serious trauma.

Ivy finds out she is related to a serial killer, the Full Moon Killer, after doing a DNA genetic test. Being adopted, she has no idea who her biological family is.

Dear Ms. Anne Heltel,
I would like to bring to your attention the book you have written will have me having nightmares at least for a week. Was it necessary to include dolls with AI intelligence? Dolls are already creepy, but you had to turn it up a few notches. Then to throw in a Motherhood cult is well played, ma'am. Enclosed you will find my cash app tag in which I demand payment for the upcoming therapy I will now need.
