~ this book is insane . from the crazy doctors / scientists i suppose to the insane test subject


the spice in this book is not super detailed at all. i would however still give it a 4 on the spicy rating.

this is A 4 star book .


~ my fave characters are the fmc she was proper badass ,and her 5 crazy bfs. one of them being the insane but hot test subject but he doesn’t really appeat until the end of the second book & isnt really relevant until the 3rd .

at the end of the second book he had me going please add him to the RH AND THEY DID SO THANK YOU JE ROSe.


did i think i could read a 1200 page book ( 3 books in one) No . did i manage to? yes .

i absolutely loved this book it gave me psychological thriller vibes and i loved that. i loved that it was a dark rh with psychological themes . i mean it is set in a psych ward after all . but a psych ward where they are watched but can do whatever they want kinda but not escape.


from the moment the crazy therapist doctor was introduced Lazlo i knew he would play a part of the villain and well he did yes : but then there was another crazy guy above him.

istg that crazy guy wanted revenge on brooklyn for killing his brother( he abusive dead ex bf)

~ the poor girl as schizophrenia
~ this book battles with themes of mental health ect throughout it

the ending where both seven and brooklyn go back to a psych warD & finally get the help they needed / the rigth treatment was a nice twist . it was nice to see them bond and deal with their traumas in a healthy way . especially since atp they both want to heal.

~ this book is a long ride but i loved it

There were a lot lows and certainly a lot of highs. I still am not sure how to review this book. It feels like a fever dream.

Very dark—would advise you to read the TW list even if you don’t have many.

This series would have been a solid 4, but the final book dragged on too long.
