Kinsley Kincaid has quickly become my go-to author for dark taboo romance. Sutton Asylum was wild! You follow twins, Iris and Jasper (and adopted son Dex) as they navigate a hostile takeover of the asylum that they've been imprisoned in. You get death and destruction from chapter one, and it continues throughout the story, giving graphic depictions of torture and spice. This book is not for pearl clutchers or those with weak stomaches, do check triggers and brace yourself! I can't wait for Dex's story.

This book was a huge roller coaster, one that I think I could have enjoyed more if there were more description or if it had been written better. 

Itโ€™s a whole lot of depravity with a grocery list of trigger warnings so please check them out before going into the book!

WOW!! How is this the first book I have read by Kinsley Kincaid!?? I have so much to say, and there is so much to process and unpack.

Did I devoured this book in a sitting anyway? ๐™”๐™€๐™Ž!
And how many regrets did I have? ๐™•-๐™€-๐™-๐™Š. ๐™๐™๐™–๐™ฉ'๐™จ ๐™ง๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ, ๐™ฏ๐™š๐™ง๐™ค ๐™›๐™ช๐™˜๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ง๐™š๐™œ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™๐™–๐™™.

This has a taboo version of Stonehearst Asylum vibe, and I love it! In a lot of ways, this shows exactly how people are and have been mistreated in these places. Honestly, if any of this shit happened to me, I'd do the same.๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿฉธ

๐‘บ๐’–๐’•๐’•๐’๐’ ๐‘จ๐’”๐’š๐’๐’–๐’Ž is a very dark book, and Kinsley wastes no time jumping right into the story from the first page. You get a mostly dual POV from twin brother & sister duo, Iris (AKA Savage or Ris), and Jasper (AKA Jasp) save for 1 chapter from Dex (AKA Dexy). The twins are completely off the rails, with good reason, but I adore them. I love how they work together and have an incredible communication bond. They may be unhinged, but at the same time, if you treat them well, they will be amicable. Contrary- wise, don't fuck with them, Dex or any other members of their family. 

Lastly, thank the author, Kinsley Kincaid, for the ARC.

This book was absolutely WILD! Every time I thought it couldnโ€™t get any more twisted it proved me wrong. Iris was an absolute Delight! Haha. The whole thing was a rollercoaster of completely unhinged chaos! From Karens to Prom night. It was a helluva story! Will more than likely read again because of Iris alone. Her inner monologue had me equally entertained and slightly scared. ๐Ÿ˜…
So. Good. 
I more than enjoyed my stay at Sutton Asylum!
dark tense fast-paced

 Omg was this book all sorts of Taboo and crazy. It was everything I expected from the title and more.

Iris and Jasper are twins who get sent to Sutton after killing their parents. They run Sutton as king and queen. Their love for one another isnโ€™t your normal sibling love, it has a very taboo twist to it.

I was hooked on the Ashford twins and the craziness of this book. Kinsley has proven to be the queen of dark taboo romance and this story just proves it more. Make sure to read the content warnings because this book may not be for everyone.

Twins Jasper & Iris have been warned itโ€™s wrong to touch each other and now their parents are punishing them , they think they have the upper hand until Iris gets free and the twins turn the punishment onto them. They rule Sutton Asylum until one nurse thinks she can break them by taking what Iris cherishes thatโ€™s the wrong move and they will all pay . I knew before starting this book would be good the twins were the perfect psychos and the spicy scenes were ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿฅต . Maybe itโ€™s a good idea to check the triggering warnings before starting but I treat the trigger warnings like a shopping list so donโ€™t judge me ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Thank you to the author for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

This book follows two twins, Iris and Jasper, and how they end up in an asylum and what their life is like in that asylum. I highly recommend mentally preparing yourself and reading the trigger/content warnings for this book. The beginning of the book immediately starts out with family SA. This is a TABOO, REALLY DARK ROMANCE - there is twincest, both characters are completely unhinged, they are in an asylum -- how much crazy and dark can it get?!? This is Kinsley's DARKEST book, but it is so good! I honestly loved the creepy vibes, and it makes me want to visit an abandoned asylum. (Yes, I am completely insane, but I don't care ๐Ÿคฃ) I loved the twin's devotion to each other and how they are inseparable and balance each other out. This book was honestly a lot of fun to read mainly because of these two crazy twins. Iris's mind is so twisted and chaotic in the best way. This book is perfect to read during spooky season! Highly recommend reading this book if you're into taboo and unhinged characters!

The Ashford twins, Jasper and Iris, are seriously nuts! The story starts off with a flashback to when they were 15, and it shows the reason they end up in Sutton Asylum. The story then jumps to current time, and then being 19. 

Iris and Jasper have โ€œadoptedโ€ fellow patient Dex. Dex doesnโ€™t talk, but to say mama in reference to Iris. These three are their own demented family. Iris and Jasper are the King and Queen of Sutton Asylum, even the aides are scared of them.

This story is so crazy, itโ€™s amazing. Iris and Jasper are completely unhinged, and I love it! The spice in this story is so damn hot!!! If you like taboo, you must read this!
