Last month I killed a man…and now I’m afraid what I might do next

As a hypnotherapist with a special talent, I’m very good at getting people to overcome their problems. My own problem, however, is that my talent comes from a dark place. If I tell you to do something, trust me: you will do it. Most of the time I can keep things from getting out of hand, but when my emotions interfere, I lose control. That’s when people get hurt, sometimes even killed.

The only ones who know I’ve got a secret are my best friend Sukey and my boyfriend Sam. So far I’ve been able to keep them safe from the psychic cross fire, but what if one day I can’t? Like now. Because now I find myself in the shadowy world of battered women and children, where I’ve met a little girl who’s been violated in the worst possible way. As you can imagine, my emotions are about to interfere….
