4.5 stars. I loved this story although it drove me nuts how on again and off again Kate and Slave were. Don't get me wrong, I knew there would be conflict, but sleeping together and then setting him up with another date was just too much.

2.5 stars. This was a super short story that would have been better and creepier had there been more detail, more history of the asylum, and better character development. Not sure if its part of a series or not, but it definitely felt rushed and like I was dropped in the middle of a story.
Thanks to the publishers for copies of these books for review!
Those are nice, short, to the point reviews, Jessica. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! WRITE ON!
