Fleeing her father's cruelty, Beatrix Beaumont arrives in Yellow Creek City with little more than a name and a will to survive. When she lands work as a caretaker in the home of a respected town leader, it seems like a stroke of luck.
But the house holds dark secrets-and Bea is no longer free.
As she's drawn deeper into a twisted world of control and illusion, Bea must confront the shadows within and around her. To escape, she'll have to decide what she's willing to endure... and who she's willing to become.
EARLY PRAISE FOR THIS IS HOW A VILLAIN IS MADE!
A fierce and gripping Good for her story. Headlee's characters are mesmerizing and have you holding your breath--and clutching your throat--until the very last page. I loved it. - Sonora Taylor, award-winning author of Little Paranoias: Stories and Without Condition
Amanda Headlee is one of the most insightful writers of her generation. This is How a Villain is Made is direct, brutal, and a masterclass in tension-filled storytelling. This book shows us that though we fear the villain, we should loathe the circumstances that made them. - Somer Canon, author of You're Mine
