β οΈThis book has mature themes such as abuse, drug abuse, and suicide. They aren't constant, but they are there. Any chapter with a potentially triggering scene will have a TW. It won't be anything to graphic, and I'll alert you when it is present so you can skip that part and continue reading.β οΈ
If there are any typos/errors, please don't hesitate to point them out so I can fix them! Comments are appreciated!

**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?
