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⭐️

4.0

It was great to read about characters with mental illnesses that aren't often seen in romance books, and I liked the mystery  behind the institute.
The romance is dark and includes non-con. I didn't really feel like any of the love interests were really romantically interested in her. I got the impression they just wanted the shiny new toy (or to reclaim an old one).
Eli was my favourite love interest. Their connection made sense with their shared pain.
I really liked the bonds between the men.

This book is such a dark and emotional read but it is absolutely incredible! The plot and the characters are unique, making you love the book and get sucked in quickly. Although it takes a while to get going, I would recommend to anyone who wants to read this to keep going and you will definitely not regret it. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart so please check the many trigger warnings before you start.
