Victim
À propos de cet ebook
Twins Jennie and Lizzie Hall grow up in a gilded cage. Daughters of a sadistic Hollywood producer, they live in the lap of luxury, but tremble when Mommy goes to bed and it’s time to sit on Daddy’s lap.
They make a suicide pact — but when Lizzie changes her mind halfway through, it lands Jennie in an institution. Always the strong one, she’s eager for revenge, preferably before Lizzie loses what’s left of her mind.
When Warren announces he’s running for Senator — and that he and his socialite wife are adopting an underprivileged nine-year-old — Jennie vows she’ll save that little girl from the abuse that broke Lizzie.
Even if it means being at Warren’s mercy once more.
This intense Gothic psychological thriller by King and Rose unfolds against a backdrop of corrupt privilege and callous wealth. Exploring the idea that humans are the scariest monsters of all, this chilling story of a young woman struggling to hold onto her sanity in an insane world is both haunting and unforgettable.
Trigger warning: this story contains graphic depictions of child abuse and violence.
Notes et avis
Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Nolon King writes smart psychological thrillers designed to leave you on the edge of your seat. His stories are dark, twisty, and often decidedly close to home.
He’s not afraid to explore the darker side of human nature through stories featuring families torn apart by secrets and lies. If you enjoy reading authors like Darcey Bell and Harlan Coban, movies like A Simple Favor and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, or shows like Ozark and Dead to Me, you’ll love Nolon King.
When not writing you will find Nolon drinking black coffee and observing humans in their natural habitats.
EG Rose colors outside the lines. Her stories dive deep into the dark pools we like to pretend aren’t there and sometimes drag the unthinkable to the surface. She picks through the busted remains of what once seemed unbreakable and finds the story dying to be shared. In her world, family ties, forever friends, promises, dreams, sanity, and sometimes reality itself, crack and spill their secrets. Rose weaves them into tales that are haunting, gripping, shocking, and thought provoking, but always entertaining. If you like books by Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Patricia Highsmith, Daphne Du Maurier and movies like The Other, The Sixth Sense, Get Out, Let The Right One In, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, anything Hitchock and all things Twilight Zone, you’ve met a friend in E G Rose.
