Why we recommend it

Set against the menacing backdrop of a dark asylum, this third installment cranks the cruelty and obsession to a fever pitch. The boys at its center are damaged, dangerous, and impossible to look away from. Ideal for readers who want their bully romance steeped in gothic dread, claustrophobic intensity and a heroine forced to find power in the darkest places. Brooding, brutal and pulse-pounding.
