"Laurent makes three, you know. Three and they label you a serial killer."
In "SINISTERHOOD," Nina finds herself entangled in a deadly dance of sisterly loyalty and personal desire. When her baby sister, Claudia, interrupts Nina's dinner with yet another distress call, Nina knows it's cleanup duty - bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel, and a strong stomach. Claudia's penchant for dispatching boyfriends in so-called "self-defense" has left Nina with a trail of messes to clean up, but family always comes first...That is until stakes skyrocket when her lethal little sister sets her sights on Nina's long-time crush, a doctor at the hospital where Nina is completing her medical residency.
Nina faces an impossible choice: save the man she loves from ending up with a literal knife in his back or protect her sister at all costs. In this darkly humorous novella, blood proves to be thicker - and more difficult to get out of the carpet - than water
