A million stars for the audio production of this awesome book!
Lilydale is where some young people who did bad things end up instead of jail.
And when our FMC ends up here after committing accidental crimes she meets some morally pitch black inmates, ah, I mean STUDENTS. Yep, student.
Cue secret society and asylum level treatment and somehow history class is in there too so add a dash of academy and we have ourself book one of a compelling series.

Okay, let’s talk about Unhinged—because this book? It owns its title. I went in expecting dark and gritty, but Steph Macca seriously delivered a full-on emotional rollercoaster that had me questioning everyone and everything (including my taste in men… again).

I'm weary of dark romances as I often come across ones that go too far for me, but this was perfection. Dark and twisted but full of warmth at the same time. Just beware, you'll wa ...more

I devoured this in one sitting, Unhinged is completely addictive. The dedication alone set the chaotic tone perfectly 😅 and had me grinning before the story even started.
