Blurb
Sweet revenge keeps her alive … and drives her to kill.
I am the forgotten one, the girl who was left for dead.
In this mental hospital I call prison I plot my revenge.
I remember everything.
Their faces. Their touch. Even their smell.
What they did to me was beyond cruel. I’m going to return the favor.
In here I survive by using someone just as they used me. One of them wants to claim me as his own. A man without mercy, without a conscience, craving the wickedness inside me. But I won’t be a puppet for his desires. I will play his strings like a puppeteer and use him to escape.
And when I do … I will kill them all.
This is Ashley's story and the final book in the Delirious Series. This is a full-length novel. These books should be read in order.
WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, strong language, dubious consent, and graphic violence.
Excerpt
After he enters my cell, he closes the only window. The first thing I do is get up from my bed and drop down on my knees. I kneel in front of him as he comes toward me and stops right in front of me.
“Hmmm …” The low hum of approval has me shivering. I wonder if he will be quick and merciless. If it will be painful. If I will like it. I shouldn’t, but I can’t help myself. If I have to fuck, I might as well enjoy it.
“What brings you to this position?” he asks.
“You wish for me to be submissive. I wish for my freedom. As you said, it’s give and take.”
“I like this,” he says. He bends over and tips my chin up to look at him. “You look beautiful, pet.”
He smiles the warmest, gentlest smile I’ve seen in a long while. His fingers caress my face as he looks at me intently. He leans in to kiss me, taking my breath away. His lips are soft and needy, so much so that I want to steal another one when our lips unlock.
He turns around and walks back to the table, grabbing a chair. He flips it to me and sits down with a coy look on his face. From under his lashes he gazes at me, and then murmurs, “Come here.”
I crawl toward him from the floor. In the meantime, he reaches into his pocket and takes out the remote that he uses to turn away the camera. After throwing it on the table, he pats his legs and says, “Sit.”
I do as he says, perching up to position my legs over his. He twists me so I’m facing away from him and folds my legs over his, spreading mine. One hand is around my waist, while the other is around my throat. His fingers pinch, and I let out a cough. It’s a soft warning of what he’s capable of should I disobey.
“Offering yourself like that to me … it gets me all riled up, you know that?” he whispers in my ear. His tongue darts out to lick me, causing me to shiver. “It makes me want to play with your pussy and fuck you until you come screaming my name.” His sultry voice ends in a moan, which makes me flutter with need.
His hand drifts down my stomach toward my sweatpants as he plants a kiss on my neck.
“Do it,” I murmur. “Take me.”
I’m not sure anymore if I say it because I want to escape so badly that I’d do anything for it, or if it’s because I’m aching for his touch.
It’s all I’ve felt for the past few months, and his desires are starting to consume my every thought. I let him use me in my cell, put his cock in places I’ve never allowed a man to go, and I let him bring me pleasure to the point of wanting it more than he did. I’ve done it over and over again until I couldn’t see the difference between what I wanted and what he wanted most.
Our desires have merged into one, and all I can think of is fucking and pain, coming and taking, obeying and more pain. My mind has been put on inactive, accepting all that he has to give. He’s even gotten me so far lost in his world that I’ve completely forgotten about why I did all of it in the first place.
As his fingers dip into my pants, my mind goes blank. Just like it always does when he takes what belongs to him.
He owns me. Not just my body, but my mind as well.

~*~ Obsessed by Books arc given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
"My transformation is complete now. I've immersed myself in a world filled with darkness, dipped my fingers straight into hell's blood, and stepped out of my shell to become who I was meant to be.
A merciless, soulless, shameless killer."
This is Ashley's story which runs in the same time frame to the previous books, it's easier if you remember this is the same chain of events happening at the same time but through Ashley's eyes. We learn what became of the party girl...
After the traumatic events that happened to her as part of a scene in a book that wealthy, bored business act out word for word, we find Ashley as a prisoner in one of their facilities. She has caught the eye of Sam, a supposed Doctor, who likes the feisty spirit and uncrushable soul he sees. He seeks her out to break her, to make her his...forever. This is a twisty path which makes you question which way is up. The story is dark and unrelenting. Sam is yet another lost soul, motivated by selfishness and not held back by the restraints of the usual moral guidelines. Not afraid to punish Ashley, he debases her, humiliates and starves her until she utters the right words, the words he so desperately needs to hear.
Through her torture and enforced behaviour modification training we learn about her past, before she was taken. We learn that hers has always been a dark road, no light on the horizon for her. Her inner strength was born as a child, cultivated by the ongoing abuse she suffered. Her choices have always been limited and have always ended in blood yet Ashley has found a way to survive and even thrive....
She clings on to the hope she will escape from her prison, escape so she can kill those who have hurt her. She lives for vengeance but will she be able to survive long enough? ACE is the voice on the other side of the wall, just a comfort to Ashley to have someone to talk to. This is also her story as she some how manages to escape and act on behalf of Ashley, training with X to become a killer.
The story is told through Ashley and ACE and having read the previous I has my suspicions ...the ending is mind blowing! And that is all I can say without spoilers. This is a fabulous end to a total mind fuck of a series. It's dark, it's twisted and most of all it makes you think. I now need to read X's story.
A four star mind bending read.
