Ohhhh Lynette, Lynette, Lynette….. how the mighty have fallen for me. I absolutely love The Prison Healer series. So much that I thought this author must have other good books! And so I purchased this on kindle because it was like, $4. I deleted it off my kindle already it bothered me so much. Okay I should have realized by the cover that I was getting myself into a very YA/Uglies dystopian sort of world? If that makes sense? Probably has to do with something as plain as the reveal of her real name, I feel like that was in during dystopian books back in the day. Having really boring names. Honestly I preferred Jane. It has the same vibe as like all of those books I read when I was in middle school. But somehow worse because like it was going sooooo well! Really it was. And then the pacing was soooo bad! And the villains were so bad!!!!
Like how was Ward able to reprimand Vanik , and Fallon LITERALLY just told him not to touch alyssa, and yet somehow at the end I’m meant to believe that Vanik got away with what he just did and that Ward is gonna be a prisoner? Soooo stupid. The last half of the book felt so cringey. I wanted to like Kael cause I needed that love triangle angle since Ward wanted to be a dick, but Kael was giving nothing ! Ew it reminded me of Finn from the 100 with “princess” foh I hated that
also I really hate dystopian books that make references to real life, like really Ebola in 2014? That threw me off,  made me think I was watching a bad DC super hero show. I don’t know how to explain it but that’s what this book was. And don’t get me started when authors

More than once in their books. I was so over it. Again maybe if I was 12 years old I’d have like this? Maybe? Even my taste back then was better
