Embracing the Beast

How do you survive when the cure is worse than the disease? June Breslin thought beating cancer would be the hardest fight of her life. She was wrong. When her husband leaves her on the heels of her remission, June is left hollowed out until something inside her begins to change. The experimental drug that saved her life has awakened a monstrous hunger, transforming her from mild-mannered schoolteacher to a predator with a taste for vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her marriage, estranged from friends, and stalked by the mysterious Azrael—a man with secrets as dark as her own—June struggles to cling to her humanity. But as her body and mind evolve, the line between justice and savagery blurs. Each kill brings a rush of euphoria and a wave of guilt she can't escape. When her brother's cryptic disappearance draws her into a web of corporate conspiracy, June must confront the truth about her transformation and the sinister organization that engineered it. With a loyal student-turned-accomplice at her side and a rescued stray dog as her unlikely guardian angel, June races against time to save her family, outwit her creators, and decide what kind of monster she's willing to become. Embracing The Beast is a genre-bending blend of supernatural thriller, dark humor, and raw emotion. A story of survival, found family, and the fight to reclaim your soul when the world wants to turn you into a weapon. Will June master the beast within, or will it consume everything she loves?
