The Ward by S.L. Grey
4.0
I love this trilogy of books, and read them as they were released years ago. I decided to revisit the audio versions this time, and am very glad I did.
Two narrators tell the tales of the main characters, Lisa and Farrell. The former is a woman with body dysmorphia seeking surgery to 'fix' her face; the latter a fashion photographer with a supermodel girlfriend. Both find themselves in a strange hospital one night, with nobody willing to give them an answer as to why they're there, what's happening and why everything - from the slang to the social norms - is so very odd.
The audiobook is fantastic. It gripped me to the extent that my head was almost spinning when I had to stop listening, and revisiting the genuinely creepy story was its own strange pleasure. I love the world-building of the authors, and do hope they return to this world again in the future.
A definite recommend. You won't forget it, especially next time you're left alone in a hospital cubicle.
