Beautiful Monster. Anywhere But Here, #2

Three-year-old Violet Mitchell is stunning. Perfect features, angelic smile, impossible to look away from. When money gets tight, her mother Sarah enters her in beauty pageants. Violet wins every single one. But she's not just winning. She's destroying the competition. Other little girls have "accidents." Shoes disappear. Costumes get ruined. One rival suffers food poisoning that ends her career. When a five-year-old competitor nearly dies in a mysterious hotel fire, investigators start asking questions.
Sarah knows the truth. Violet isn't just talented-she's dangerous. And Sarah has been taking the prize money, over fifty thousand dollars earned from her daughter's reign of terror on the pageant circuit. Now the evidence is mounting. Video footage. Witness statements. A pattern of violence too clear to ignore. When Sarah and Tom are permanently banned and face possible criminal charges, they must finally admit what they've been denying for years.
Their daughter isn't sick. She isn't struggling. She's a predator. And they've been profiting from it. Beautiful Monster is a chilling exploration of how far parents will go to survive-even when survival means enabling a monster.
