Layla was six when she awakened untold evil into the world.
She's lucky it's got a soft spot for her.
🍬🍦🍬
It's easy to leave a lollipop on a rock. Layla did when she saw her best friend, Neveah, at the beach the week before school started. Had she known it would awaken a long-forgotten god of destruction onto the world, she... probably would have done it anyway. After all, that "long-forgotten god" is Uncle Candy, and, even though he creeps out her aunt and Neveah's dad, Layla thinks he's pretty cool - especially since she has a hunch that he's behind the murders of the people she doesn't like. It's their little secret.
Well, it is a secret until Uncle Candy tells Layla he wants to wake up his friends. He wants to start with his best friend, and Layla wants Neveah to have a cool uncle, too.
From there? The kids' friends can all have cool uncles. Uncle Candy's got an agenda to follow, and he ain't picky on how it's done.

**INCLUDES BONUS BOOK - A CHILD CALLED WENDY**
*****
It was just an experiment. Simply kill one person to see what it felt like. See beauty in the moment of death. See if it filled the void within her. It didn't. Nor did it the next time. Or the next. Gwen is an ordinary person. Wife to Amanda. Mother to Grace and Alexandra. Suddenly, she is no longer ordinary as she finds herself battling her urges and demons before she hurts those closest to her. But is it already too late?
