Asylum by @eroticalilywhite #newrelease #darkerthenhell #weareallcrazyhere

Genre: Erotic/Psychological ThrillerCover Designer: Cover Me, Darling         Words are funny things.   Their meaning, the pictures they paint in the minds of those that hear them: they’re not always the same and to me at least, that makes them meaningless.   Take for instance the phrase ‘black widow’. Those words conjure the image of a spider, an eight-legged creature with the red imprint of an hourglass on its abdomen.   However, instead of speaking of an arachnid, of the resident of a spindly and dew-laden web, the people who whisper those words are talking about something much different.   They’re talking about me.   From what I’m told, I’m called the Black Widow because no man I’ve ever loved has survived.   Yet, I have no memory of any of it.   My new home leads me to the definition of another vague and meaningless word.   It’s a place where I’m supposed to seek refuge.   A place of retreat and security.   It’s a place where I’m supposed to be kept safe because I’m sick.   But the definition for this place is wrong and the word becomes meaningless when you’re tucked away and made silent by drugs and pretty white jackets.   My name is Alexandra Sutton and this is the story of what happened when I was imprisoned inside an Asylum.
  Well, I don't even know where to begin. This book blew my mind... or maybe the proper term to use is 'zapped' my mind. I want to explain the story to you but I honestly can't because there were so many twists and turns and OMG WTF moments that I don't even know what to say. Alex was 'stuck' inside the Asylum for committing crimes she claims she didn't commit. While inside she meets some unlikely allies and some enemies as well... but things aren't always as they seem.

This book is DARK. As in darker then dark, as in I had to read this book with the door locked and the lights on.  There is triggery content in this book that I'm not sure you could ever get away from. Asylum can easily be turned into an R rated horror film and be seen on the big screen. It's a standalone novel but at the end its like "The End.... Or is it?" It keeps you thinking about it for hours after you finish and you still don't know exactly what happened.

In this book everyone is crazy and I mean everyone. The crazy girls, the prisoners and the staff. That makes this book so addicting that you need to focus all of your attention on this book to really know what's going on. Well, that isn't entirely true. I thought I knew what was going to happen, it seemed like such a perfect ending and then BAM. Everything changed and I was afraid that I was completely lost, everything I had known was just...crazy. I read this book in about ten hours. I just couldn't stop.
There is one man who can change everything for Alex and his name is Dr. Jeremy Hutchin and I still don't know if he is the good guy or the bad one and that makes him the most dangerous of them all.

"I wanted to believe him, wanted to believe that every word he spoke was the truth. I'd been so happy when I woke up, so delighted to find someone as beautiful as him in a place as dark as midnight." 

I highly recommend this book to you dark book lovers out there just keep in mind, this isn't dark with a side of bunnies and rainbows. This is darker then hell and you will need to read this with all the lights on. There are no bunnies. This book will destroy you and make you want to read it over and over again. Fantastic Job Lily!
        I couldn’t contain my anger. “I didn’t kill anybody! I don’t even know who those men are…” “Do not raise your voice with me, Ms. Sutton. I’ve allowed your quirks in behavior thus far, but I’m growing tired of your insubordination. While under my care you will learn to control your outbursts or else you will be restrained both physically and chemically, if necessary.” “Through drugs, you mean. You’ll dope me up to a point where I can’t fight back.” “If that’s what I must do. Like I’ve said, I don’t prefer that type of restraint, but in certain cases, it can’t be avoided.” Standing from his chair, he rounded the desk to stand in front of me. I craned my neck to look up at him, my muscles tightening painfully with anger and the refusal to believe that I’d done any of the things of which I’d been accused. It wasn’t until he was close enough to touch me that the notes of his cologne wafted beneath my nose – something haunting and exotic, masculine and earthy. I shivered at the smell, looking away from him and grasping my hands together in my lap to the point where my short fingernails dug into my skin. “Look at me, Ms. Sutton.” I did as I was told because there was no point in fighting back. A slow roll of recognition penetrated my thoughts, the abysmal circumstances of this place, the futility and harrowing truth that I was under their control. Any hint of rebellion and I would be dosed into compliance, drooling on myself while nodding my approval of whatever horrible thing they had planned. They stripped you of your strength, your voice, your entire being, and replaced it with the structure implicit to an institution for the insane. “You are my patient and as such, you are under my control and also my protection. I will not hurt you in any way. My only job is to help you. However, any rebellion on your part will be met with equal force. Do you understand?” “Yes sir.” I spit out the words, angry that I was answering to a man I didn’t even know. “That’s a good girl.”          Amazon US ~ Amazon UK ~ B&N                              Lily White is a dark writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading....and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting with her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.
