When Annie hands her mother over to the police she hopes for a new start in life - but can we ever escape our past? 'New name. New family. Shiny. New. Me.' Annie's mother is a serial killer. The only way Annie can make it stop is to hand her in to the police. With a new foster family and a new name - Milly - she hopes for a fresh start. Now, surely, she can be whoever she wants to be. But as her mother's trial looms, the secrets of Milly's past won't let her sleep . . . Because Milly's mother is a serial killer. And blood is thicker than water...

Что вы знаете о серийных убийцах? А о женщинах — серийных убийцах? В свои пятнадцать лет Энни знает о них все. Ее мама преступница, потому и оказалась за решеткой. Теперь у дочери "монстра" другое имя, Милли, и новая семья. Вот только мысли старые: о маме, страшных жертвах, полиции… Майк, приемный отец девушки и по совместительству психотерапевт, пытается спасти ее душу, но как-то уж очень неискренне. Милли уверена: она для него лишь эксперимент – демонстрация навыков, приобретенных в дорогущем университете. Масло в огонь подливают еще и одноклассники. Им неймется доказать новенькой, какой она аутсайдер. Но у Милли свои планы. И…

Milly’s mother is a serial killer. Though Milly loves her mother, the only way to make her stop is to turn her in to the police. Milly is given a fresh start: a new identity, a home with an affluent foster family, and a spot at an exclusive private school.

But Milly has secrets, and life at her new home becomes complicated. As her mother’s trial looms, with Milly as the star witness, Milly starts to wonder how much of her is nature, how much of her is nurture, and whether she is doomed to turn out like her mother after all.

When tensions rise and Milly feels trapped by her shiny new life, she has to decide: Will she be good? Or is she bad? She is, after all, her mother's daughter.
