This was instant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me! 
I was reading Corpse Roads by the same author and a lot of random names start showing up in book #2 so I was like "do all these random characters have their own book? And they sure did!!

This book is about five broken minds and souls who find each other in an psychiatric institute. But Blackwood Institute is not what it's seems to be.

The writing is very well done! You can really feel the pain the main characters go through in this book. The spice is also well done IYKYK 😏 and this book also have a mystery plot!!! The suspense is blowing my mind!!!! I'm starting with the second book right now!

5/5⭐️

challenging dark sad tense

3.5

3.5 stars? I've gone back and forth with myself on this book, this series. Do I like it? Do I hate it? I am honestly not sure (not unlike the characters in the books). The love/hate is strong in this one to the point of pain, but I was gripped and couldn't look away and I woke up at 2:30 this morning because I needed to dive into book two so take what you will from that. This is much darker than my usual read. Normally in the "dark" books I read, there are dark moments but the characters love each other in the end. I am not sure that will ever happen. The feelings are powerful, but they swing so wildly between hate, lust, rage, and sorrow the reader can scarcely keep up. All with the undertow of the setting and the potential unreliability of the narrators minds in play as well.  
So many CW for this one.

Sexual assault on page, gRape on page, violent assault on page, mistreatment of patients, abuse of power, drug use, very borderline noncon/dubcon scenes between MMCs (I found all the smut scenes between the MMCs challenging to read), breath play, blood play, self harm on page, mutual self-harm, suicidal ideation and attempts on page.

This is still not an exhaustive list, make sure you read the author's note before you proceed if you have triggers.

wait wait wait wait. this guy literally paid his drug debt by selling the MC’s body when she was underaged and somehow he’s a love interest??? please tell me i read that wrong.

and the depiction of eating disorders is absolutely problematic. a lot of takes in this book are harmful and contribute to the overall misunderstanding and stigmatisation of mental health issues. can’t believe this book got published
