No Child of Mine by Nichelle Giraldes

There's something in the dark. And it's starting to whisper. . .
Essie Singh has defined herself by her ambitions, a fiercely independent
woman whose only soft spot is her husband, Sanjay. She never imagined
herself as a mother. It was never a part of the plan. But then she finds out
she's pregnant. As her difficult pregnancy transforms her body and life into
something she barely recognizes, her husband spends the nights pacing in
the attic, slowly becoming a stranger, and the house begins to whisper.
As Essie's pregnancy progresses, both her and Sanjay's lives are warped by
a curse that has haunted her family for generations, leaving a string of
fatherless daughters in its wake. When she's put on bedrest, Essie trades the
last aspects of her carefully planned life for isolation in what should be a
welcoming home, but she isn't alone. There's something here that means to
take everything from her. . .
A haunting and eerie melody of love and loss, NO CHILD OF MINE . . . will
claw at your heartstrings and chill your spine. This book will settle deep into
your bones and stay there - I highly recommend it.
NO CHILD OF MINE is hauntingly powerful, equal parts a ghost story and a
tale of what we are prepared to do for love.

A lifelong book lover, Nichelle Giraldes writes female-centered horror. She
