Blurb:
When I first came to the Boucher House I thought it would be simple. It was supposed to be easy; follow the rules, and take the meds they give you so you can become better.
But what if they're not trying to cure us?
Everyday I feel like I'm changing more and more from the person I used to be. I'm not quite sure who I've become throughout the torturous treatments and sessions with Dr. Boucher and his staff. But whoever it is, I'm praying she's strong enough to survive this hell.
If they really are out to get you, is it still paranoia? The problem is, everyday I feel as though I’m losing myself more and more. Boucher is stepping up his game and it’s hard to tell the difference between paranoia and the truth.
Is the darkness only within these walls, or is it seeping into my bones?
This is a why choose romance, where the fmc will have more than one love interest without having to choose. This is a dark, forced proximity romance. It touches on sensitive matters and scenes that may trigger some people.
Let's start off with this. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WARNINGS!!!! This is directly from the beginning of the book:
The book may contain triggers for mental health and abuse due to the nature of the story.
Heed that warning. If you don't think this is for you then you need to step away. There are many aspects of mental health discussed in this book.
Now that we have that out of the way, Holy F'ing Hell. What a freaking book! I finished it late last night and I woke up this morning thinking about this book. I want to talk about ALL the things but at the same time, I don't want to tell you anything. I want you to go in blind like I did so you can experience it all just like I did. So in saying that, I'm going to give you what I can without giving you too much.
Presley is our FMC. She's been locked up in Boucher house, an asylum, for 4 years now. Suffering from some anxiety and depression, she never imagined that she would still be locked up four years later. She definitely didn't think she would be getting worse as the days pass. Unfortunately for her, that is what seems to be happening. She knew when she got there that she wasn't crazy, but as we go along, she's not so sure anymore. She's managed to keep to herself for the most part, except for one person she can't seem to stay away from. Baxter. He's been there longer than her and you will find out why she is so drawn to him. Their main goal, making it through each day without Boucher breaking them beyond repair.
This book is told in multiple POV. So obviously we have Presley and Baxter. Then we have Dr. Kai Miller, the new psychologist, and Maël. I'm not going to tell you much about them b/c you just need to read and find out. Make your own opinions. Now when we get to the end of the book, we don't have any real romantic relationships. There are some definite hints, some attraction that we feel. But there isn't any bow chicka wow wow going on. Which is absolutely fine with me b/c it wouldn't have really made sense to write that into this first part of the book. This first part is all about the secrets that are being kept inside of Boucher House. And man, my mind was reeling with some of the twists. You sure don't know who you can trust and who you can't. What to believe and what not to believe. Which is why I loved this book so freaking much.
Now yes, we do have a bit of a cliffy at the end. You should have already expected that with it being a duet. I have absolutely no idea when the second book is supposed to come out but I can tell you that I will be stalking the author until I do know. I have all the feels for the peeps in this book and I need to know ALL THE THINGS!!! It's driving me a bit crazy. Hahaha.
