“You taste sweet like trouble and danger.”
This follows Avery 20, thrown into Lilydale Foundation Centre a glorified asylum that is known as an Academic Rehabilitation Centre for the troubled. Not everything is as it seems and she has become a target inside. She has never been cared for and has a very graphic past. That's until she catches the eyes of a few morally grey men that tear her walls down… what could go wrong?
This was so mysterious, had a gripping storyline and loved the morally grey men. This is a new why choose series and I can’t wait for the next book. Avery comes from a past of neglect and trauma with scars. This book deals with a lot of mental health and unhinged moments. I love how Avery had a backbone and stood up for herself when she could. What she experienced growing up to how she got in this facility makes me feel for her. My heart hurts for Grey. His character was flirty and unhinged with a dark side. Theo melted my heart for what he did for Avery even though he was a blunt grumpy character. Damon I’m still trying to work out and excited to read more of his character in the next. I feel as though the why choose element will be explored in the coming books and the slow burn element is not bad as it’s a shorter book. I classify anything past 50% as a slow burn. We get a little play before the 50% but the magic happens after the halfway mark. Also, I will say I’m so intrigued by the secret society, how it’s being controlled and what’s to come in the following books!
