(2026)(A book in the Unhinged Holidays series)
A novel by Finley Brown and EVILyn Reigns
Who celebrates Mother's Day when they don't have a mother?
The children of Bellhaven Orphanage for Displaced Children do.
They don't have a choice.
Bellhaven Orphanage promises hope and a fresh start.
Once a year, the children are polished until they no longer look like children at all. They are scrubbed clean, dressed in pressed clothes, and taught to sit perfectly still, smiling until their cheeks ache, waiting for someone to decide if they are worthy of being chosen.
But the children know better.
They know that when the doors close and the celebration begins, not everyone will still be alive by morning. And Mother’s Day this year will end with blood on the floor and foam on someone's lips.
Because once it begins, no one leaves untouched.
Genre: Mystery
