Adoption

JL Gore

A childless couple. A perfect adoption. A silent curse that never dies.
For eight years, Claire and Carter Brennan have endured miscarriages and failed fertility treatments. Adoption feels like their last hope—until six-year-old Emma enters their lives. Quiet, withdrawn… and strangely familiar, as if grief itself had taken human form.
But Emma is not alone.
Her twin sister Lily was murdered by their deranged biological mother during a psychotic break—and Lily’s spirit never left. She clings to Emma like a shadow, demanding life.
Four previous adoptive families are dead.
The adoption agency covered it up, pushing the girl from home to home like a ticking supernatural time bomb. The Brennans are next.
Doors slam. Whispering fills the house at night. Emma’s room is covered in drawings of a black house with windows like eyes. Claire’s attempt to bond with her turns into a descent into madness as she uncovers the truth: Emma isn’t possessed—she’s complicit. Each family feeds Lily, and Emma knows it.
Now Claire must make an impossible choice:Send Emma away, condemning another innocent family…Or break the bond between the sisters at the price of her own soul.
What follows is a ritual fueled by love—and corruption. Because sometimes, the darkest evil is born from the purest desire to be a mother.
In the end, Claire becomes part of the curse.
Emma moves on to her next family, carrying with her the devouring nightmare—where every hope of parenthood is twisted into horror.
