Housing the most dangerous and mentally unstable patients, Sunnycrest Asylum hides even more sinister exploits in Dr. Magnus Acacia’s private lab.
Their Little Ghost is the story of his twin daughters, Erin and Sarah, along with patients Aiden, Elizabeth, and Lex.
At once twisted and heartbreaking, our trio finds unlikely love - and retribution - with an improbable ally.
Whew… Holly is BACK! This story was wild. It was twisted and dark, at times sickening. It was steamy and it hurt my heart. The fuckery is on brand and why she’s a favorite. I did figure out the twist before it was revealed, but it hurt nothing because there were other bombs I didn’t see coming! TLG kept me on the edge of my seat, flipping pages as fast as my eyes could read!

Their Little Ghost is a dark why choose stalker romance with some heavy subject matter, please heed the trigger warnings of the book.
The start of the book immediately grabs your attention with the three MMCs - Aiden, Lex, and Eli. These guys were each forced into an asylum as young children and formed a brotherly bond through their experiences. But this asylum is dark and its intentions are not to make one better or fit for society.
Erin is our FMC and she is sweet, kind, innocent and missing her twin sister, Sarah, who has gone missing. She’s desperate for answers as to what happened to her.
Overall, the storyline and the writing were very good, as it always is. I have loved Holly’s other books - Lapland Underground being my favorite. However, the plot twist in this, unfortunately, was just not for me.

This is my first Holly Bloom book. The story started well and hooked me in. Erin’s world is far from perfect but it’s nowhere near as bad as the kids that live at the asylum. This is a lengthy read so there’s lots going on and that plot twist had me all kinds of bent out of shape.
Aiden, Eli and Lex are all victims of the Sunnycrest Asylum where Erin’s dad, Dr Acacia works. He’s the head physician and has no compassion.
When the guys escape they seek out Erin.
Erin is trying to navigate high school while under the strict control of her father. When a popular boy shows an interest in her she begins to see cracks in the conformed world. Aiden, Eli and Lex offer her the chance to see through the lies of the ‘normal world’.
This is a dark, stalker romance but also so much more. It’s full of horrors and is all kinds of wrong.
Holly Bloom spins an intriguing tale which leaves you feeling all kinds of twisted up.

🎶 “Tell all of your friends that I'm crazy and drive you mad. That I'm such a stalker, a watcher, a psychopath” 🎶
Three escaped psychopaths have found her, and they are not letting go. Once locked away in Sunnycrest Asylum, they now haunt every corner of her perfect life, turning her world into a brutal game of obsession and desire. Their cruelty awakens something dark inside her, a hunger she cannot control. She knows she should run, but when madness turns to love, escape may already be impossible.

This was some Jekyll and Hyde energy that I did not expect until she started calling herself Sarah in her inner thoughts and it became clear that maybe she was not Erin. It turns out the torture merged their subconscious minds, so she is both, but she has more control as Sarah and barely lets Erin out anymore. It left me wondering if that still counts as cheating. The guys originally seduced and planned to use Erin for information until they realized it was Sarah all along. Then they started trying to help her recover her memories, but they still willingly slept with her as Erin, so that part felt messy and uncomfortable.
Eli is actually diabolical for implanting her so she could stay with them after having the same drug used on him. That is full-on villain behavior. He did not tell the others, but I have a feeling Aiden and Lex suspected something. She had a complete shift, wanting to leave and start over, but Eli would never allow that because he loves her and cannot let her go. I am conflicted, especially because her father created them and turned them into what they are. In another life, she said Eli could have been the perfect gentleman, but they are far beyond saving now. I also feel like we never got to see a real romance unfold between any of them. We connected to Erin and her relationships, only for her to be gone and replaced by Sarah, their first love and the wild child. It left everything feeling both tragic and unresolved.
I am honestly mad about this. Because they thought Sarah was dead, they decided it was okay to pursue her twin sister and fall for her in the process. I swear they connected more with Erin than they ever did with Sarah by the end, because the entire book centered around her. And now I am supposed to believe that they are fine with only having Sarah, while Erin is trapped inside and can only come out when Sarah allows her to? It is so strange and unsettling.
—*•.¸♡ ★·.·☾ ﾟ｡´OVERALLﾟ☁︎｡`·.·★ ♡¸.•*⋆—
What is twisting me up is that Sarah wanted to leave (Erin would have stayed). She wanted nothing to do with them, and she was about to do it. Instead, Eli manipulated her with the drug to keep her there. He knew exactly what it would do because he had been under that same drug himself. That makes him a true psychopath, and not the kind who ever ends up on the side of the FMC. He completely disregarded her wishes for his own interests and benefit.

“You’re getting braver,” he says, almost with admiration, then his tone shifts menacingly. “But you should be scared. A zebra doesn’t laugh in the face of a lion when she’s standing in his jaws. I won’t ask you again.”

Then they started trying to help her recover her memories, but they still willingly slept with her as Erin, so that part felt messy and uncomfortable.
After everything Acacia put him through, it’s a miracle he has any emotions at all. But he’s possessive. He likes to claim what is his, and Erin is marked.

“That doesn’t justify it,” I snap. “You aren’t crazy enough to think we’ll pick up where we left off, right? Too much has happened!’

Plot: 4/5 • Smut: 3.5/5 ————> Erin is trying to figure out what happened to her twin sister while living under the roof of her overbearing, demanding, asshole, esteemed psychiatrist father. While doing so she gets a visit from three of her father’s tortured patients. And when I say tortured, I mean, tortured. They endured years of her father’s “work”. This loops you back and forth with trying to find out what happened to Sarah. There’s a couple psychotic breaks, and some twists and turns, but we finally do get a HEA.
The smut was okay. It was great for having a harem of three psycho patients as your lovers, but idk why but I have this empty feeling of wanting more. The solo scene with “Erin” and Lex was probably my favorite.

🔥 Their Little Ghost by Holly Bloom 🔥
Their Little Ghost is a brand new standalone by Holly Bloom. This dark stalker romance is full of shocking plot twists, masked men, secrets, lies and some spicy spice!
'Did you really think you’d got rid of us? We live in the walls, Little Ghost.'
When Holly asked if I wanted to sign up for the ARC of this I didn't even have to think twice! I absolutely loved this book! From page one to the end I was hooked and I couldn't put it down.
'I’m truly a ghost. Their little ghost.'
The characters were complex and I loved the multiple povs, I always find that I enjoy the book more when I know what all the characters are thinking. The guys had me second guessing my sanity at some points 😂 Also the spice was 🥵🥵
“I won’t hurt you, not unless you ask nicely. But I will destroy anyone who so much as breathes at you in the wrong way. Now, turn.”
The storyline of this kept me guessing constantly and the plot twists had me shook. The first part of this book had me confused and wanting more, the second part had me gasping and then third part slayed me.

ARC review
Rating: 4.25 ⭐️
This book grabs you from the very first page and doesn’t let go. The pacing is steady, with the plot unfolding layer by layer in a way that kept me hooked from start to finish.
It’s dark, suspenseful, and emotionally intense—tackling heavy themes with compassion and care. A few twists caught me completely off guard, adding even more depth to an already gripping story.
Sarah and Erin couldn’t be more different as twins, yet both find themselves drawn to the three morally black MMCs—each shaped by a tragic past and bound together by a thirst for justice. Their dynamic adds tension, heat, and heart to the story.
This was my first read from Holly Bloom, and definitely not my last. Her writing is sharp, empathetic, and effortlessly engaging. I’ll be keeping an eye out for whatever she writes next.

I really enjoyed this ending. It was an emotional rollercoaster towards the end but I adored the way it ended and the unexpected events that occurred.
I loved all the characters, especially the 3 guys, all so diverse in personality but the fact they care so deeply about each other despite everything that happened is really sweet!
Thoroughly recommend this book! It had me hooked!

I really loved this book, but the ending felt wrong to me.. I would've loved 50 extra pages to make a bigger impact and get the ending they deserved.

Honestly, I cannot put into words how much I adored this book! It's got twists, it's got turns, it's got plot, it's got spice – I just could not get enough of this dark romance. And when I say dark, I mean Dark with a capital 'D' so take note of that before you dive in. But if you do – and I highly recommend that you do – be prepared to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster and feel completely wrecked at the end of the journey in the best possible way.
The opening chapters of this book were probably the best I've read for a while, and from the first page I was gripped. We’re thrown in to meeting each of the MMCs in turn and it’s heart wrenching to learn about their backstories, but also – and in some ways – more importantly, heartwarming as we learn about how the boys meet and decide to look out for each other in the house of horrors, Sunnycrest Asylum (and yes, the place is as terrifying as it sounds!). By the end of those three chapters I was completely invested.
Next, we’re introduced to quiet and obedient Erin, who’s been desperate to solve the mystery of her twin sister, Sarah’s, disappearance. Erin’s living under the thumb of her father, Magnus Acacia, the lead psychiatrist of Sunnycrest, and he’s ridiculously strict. Her life takes a surprising turn after her father catches her attending a party and he subjects her to a night on her own at Sunnycrest, where – you guessed it – she meets our boys, or young men as they are now.
And oh my gosh, those men. These poor broken men, who are damaged and twisted yet have an admirable unwavering loyalty to each other, built through shared trauma. In the midst of this hurt, their deep bond has grown from friendship into a chosen family and I thought that was beautiful. Their hope for freedom and a future where they can be together and happy is what motivates their actions, and Aiden – the strong leader – keeps them on the right path, making sure no one ever gets left behind.
Lex sums up their situation pretty well here:
“We’ll never by sane! We’re not like normal people. We won’t get to live happily ever after. We’re cursed. We always will be. Acacia made sure of that, but we still have a chance at freedom. That’s what we want, isn’t it?”
It’s hard to say too much without spoiling anything, but a web of lies and pain makes the story what it is, and the book completely consumed me. It’s written so cleverly, dropping hints into the storyline, particularly through the usage of flashbacks, which become a crucial part of Erin solving the mystery of her sister’s vanishing act. The added twists were so well thought out. I especially loved the one at the end to finish the book off as brilliantly as it was started, again following a clue earlier in the book.
If you're like me and love your books to include plenty of spice, this book delivers on that front too. It's filthy and wrong, but oh so delicious!
If you like your book men dark and twisted, then you definitely have to give this a try. It’s an intense ride, but it’s totally worth it. It’s one of my favourite books of the year, and those tortured men have a special place in my heart, especially Eli (yes, even considering that!).

This was a gritty read, full of twist after twist from the first page to the last in this dark asylum romance. Erin is thrust into a gruesome reality she never saw coming. After losing her sister, her parents maintain a facade of being picture-perfect. She’s under her father’s extremely controlling rule, and he is a piece of work, that’s for sure. But underneath it all, the real evil may be closer than she thinks. Erin plays the role of the dutiful daughter, but she gets a cold splash of reality soon enough. Her dad—wow, he’s something else. And her mom? Jeez, having to deal with him too? I don’t envy her. And her sister Sarah is the total opposite of Erin. Sarah loves to be the center of attention and is all about her freedom from her father.
Aiden, Lex, and Eli are part of a bigger picture, having suffered in more ways than one. I felt those chapters, that’s for sure. They were tough to read, but they gave deep insight into the MMCs and how everything ties into the story. They quickly become obsessed, possessive, masked stalkers from day one.
I wish I could say more, but this is a story best experienced with a clean slate so you can fully immerse yourself in the chapters. It's definitely going to mess with your head, but in the best way. There’s so much going on that you'll be staying up late to finish it! The story pulled me in with its smooth flow, compelling characters, and perfectly timed twists.
Some of my fav tropes:
RH/Why Choose
Stalkers
Touch her & die
Before diving into this dark and psychologically thrilling story, be sure to check the trigger warnings.
Then get ready to walk into Sunnycrest Asylum… if you dare.

This story was wild right from the start!
Dark and twisted .. and a little bit frightening, but freaking phenomenonal!
Meeting Aiden, Eli, and Lex in the beginning set the tone for the story. I immediately knew I was going to be in for a twisted ride. The MMCs were all ruthless and resilient, with a strong brotherly bond built between them after years of secret experimentation and torture at the hands of Dr. Acacia at Sunnycrest Asylum.
And when his daughter, Erin stumbles into their grasp - still suffering from the disappearance of her twin sister a year prior - they take the opportunity for the revenge they've sought out and earned.
Erin is really quite the character! She was entirely captivating. From the mousey behavior at the beginning to the backbone she sprouted, I enjoyed the transformation into a brave and reckless girl once her blinders came off. By the end, she was an entirely new person and I was thrilled with her by the end.
This is a a mindfück of story. the plot was packed full of twists that shocked me at every turn. I couldn't get enough of this book! and with the way the story ended, I hope there's going to be more.. i already have more questions!
Thank you Holly Bloom for the opportunity to receive this ARC!

ARC review for 'Their Little Ghost' by Holly Bloom
I'm delighted to be back with a book from one of my favourite authors, and this latest read definitely feels truly unique. From the very first chapter, I was plunged into a dark, twisted, and unforgettable world. The story doesn't hold your hand or ease you in gently; instead, it drags you straight into emotional chaos and refuses to let go.
The female main character, Erin, is raw and broken in many ways, yet quietly resilient. Her journey is both heartbreaking and compelling. The male characters—Aiden, Eli, and Lex—are intense, possessive, morally gray, and incredibly layered. They evoke a range of emotions—questioning, fear, even hatred—but somehow, you still find yourself rooting for them.
This book is a gritty, twist-filled ride from start to finish, set against the dark backdrop of a mental asylum romance. Erin's world is turned upside down after losing her sister, and she finds herself navigating a gruesome reality she never anticipated. Her parents maintain a picture-perfect facade, but beneath the surface, danger lurks. Her father is a controlling and disturbing presence, and her mother’s struggles add to the complex web of family secrets. Erin plays the dutiful daughter, but her reality crashes down around her, revealing that the real evil may be closer than she thought. Her sister Sarah, the opposite of Erin—vivacious and freedom-loving—adds another layer to this tumultuous family dynamic.
While I was captivated by the story's dark intensity and numerous twists, I did feel somewhat let down by the ending. Despite Erin’s struggles throughout the book, I wished for her to reach a more satisfying resolution. The outcome left me feeling a bit deflated—more typical of certain genres���but it might leave others pondering, which is perhaps the point.
For those who love their books spicy and daring, this novel delivers in that department too. It’s unapologetically filthy and morally complex—deliciously wrong, yet utterly addictive.

Their Little Ghost by Holly Bloom
👻👻👻👻👻
Thank you so much, Holly Bloom, for introducing me to these ghosts!
I love a mystery, especially when it unravels more and more as the story progresses, and I thought this book was straightforward with little need to question—until Holly went “surprise, plot twist,” then I was questioning everything!
I loved Erin; she’s the perfect sweet, innocent, and ready-to-be-corrupted FMC. She misses her twin, Sarah, terribly while still living under her father’s iron fist, trying to continue being the dutiful daughter she always has been. Haven’t she?
Aiden, Lex, and Eli all bring something beautiful and dangerous to the book; together and separately, they have all been through so much. As kids, they ended up at Sunnycrest, bonding them as brothers for life because they are the doctor’s biggest successes, the doctor being Erin’s dad. The winding road Holly has taken me on with this story really is the highway to hell, and I loved the entire ride. I enjoyed the relationship between the FMC, Aiden, Lex, and Eli. I’d love to read more about what happens after this book. I loved that justice was served both inside the justice system and outside as well.
If you like a dark romance with mysterious vibes, this book should be on your radar. I can’t wait to read more from Holly in the future.

OMGGGG THIS BOOK 😭😭😭😭. I didnt want it to end. It grabbed my attention from the first page and I couldn't stop reading. I absolutely loved the main characters. Yes they were a lot, they were dangerous, unhinged and a little bit psycho but thats what I loved the most.
This is a dark romance and thats exactly what you get. The guys make it clear from the beginning thats who and how they are and they never switched up. Even so they were so devoted to their girl 😭😭. Like these men were obsessed, possessive and protective. They didn't allow or let anyone get away with disrespecting her in any type of way.
I really liked the fmc. She is and dealt with a lot. I loved how even though she's in her head a lot and tries to do the right thing sometimes about the guys darkness calls to her. Even when she thinks she shouldn't enjoy something that they did or said she does enjoy a lot. They really brought out the real her in a way no other regular man can. She goes with them perfectly.
The story itself had me 🫣🫢. Like when the big plot twist happened i wasn't surprised cause I had already guessed it but it was still a big ass deal. The author did an amazing job with giving you little clues here and there. I enjoyed this one a lot. I've missed this authors books and this was a phenomenal book and holy crap I am gonna be obsessed with this book for a while.

4.5 ⭐️ It’s just one of those stories, like marmite 🤣 isn’t that the case with most books though and let’s face it we can’t all like/dislike the same thing…or we’d all end up in Sunnycrest!
Three boys become friends within the asylum, they protect one another, they grow together until one day they meet Sarah, the daughter of the boss. She’s a feisty one, breaker of rules, determined to find her own way in life. Her father has other thoughts on this, his abusive behaviour towards her leads her to the three men. Unfortunately, she disappears, her twin Erin is the apple of her fathers eye, she can do no wrong but in a turn of events she meets the three guys from Sunnycrest, who have taken it upon themselves to seek revenge on her for Sarah’s disappearance. Their stories unfold, merge and it soon becomes clear they all need vengeance on the one that caused all the pain.

Holly, led us into the storyline, giving us the background of them all. I kind of predicted what was going to be revealed but some of the little twists along the way kept me focused. Of course there is spice along with the plot, some deleting, a lot of trauma for them all and a somewhat satisfactory ending given they are all unhinged 🫣

Spicy Twists, Savage Turns, and a Full-Body Yeet Right Out of the Asylum
We inhaled Their Little Ghost like it was our last fix—and we’re still vibrating.
This book says “dark romance,” but what it really delivers is a high-stakes, masked-stalker psychological spiral. It’s not about falling in love. It’s about unraveling completely—and maybe liking it a little too much.
Erin’s life is perfectly managed—from what she says to where she steps—and the cracks are just starting to show. Then come Aiden, Lex, and Eli: three masked men with a tangled past and one shared fixation. Her.
They don’t love her. They claim her. Each brings a different flavor of emotional ruin—cold calculation, brutal loyalty, and wild obsession—and somehow, it works. The tension is intoxicating. The dynamic is deranged. And the heat? Absolutely feral.
We were obsessed from the first page. The twists snapped our necks. The power play had us blinking in stunned silence.
If you love Candice Wright’s signature whiplash twists and morally gray chaos, Holly Bloom takes it ten steps further—ripping the romance out and replacing it with possession, pain, and emotional instability you can’t look away from.
We didn’t just read this book. We survived it. Barely.

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩 was my first book by Holly Bloom, and honestly? I was not prepared—in the best and worst ways.
From the very first chapter, I knew I was diving into something dark, twisted, and unforgettable. The story doesn't ease you in; it drags you straight into the emotional chaos and doesn’t let go. The female main character is raw, broken in places, but quietly resilient. And then there are the men—𝘼𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣, 𝙀𝙡𝙞, and 𝙇𝙚𝙭. They’re intense, possessive, morally gray, and incredibly layered. You’ll question them, fear them, maybe even hate them—but somehow, you'll still root for them.
This book isn’t your typical dark romance. It’s deeper. It plays with the blurred lines between love and obsession, safety and control, healing and survival. There were moments I felt physically tense reading it—and that’s a rare thing.
Even though it was my first Holly Bloom read, I can see why she has a loyal following. Her writing is emotionally sharp and unapologetically bold. That said, the story is heavy, and not for the faint of heart. But if you’re someone who loves the dark, messy, and emotionally complex? You’ll be devoured—just like I was.

This Book Possessed Me. No Notes. Just Chaos and Obsession.
This book grabbed me by the throat on page one and never let go.
I thought I was getting a spicy dark romance. What I got was a full-blown psychological kink spiral wrapped in trauma, masks, and obsession so deep it should come with a wellness check.
Erin’s situation is already tense—she’s constantly monitored, emotionally isolated, and clinging to the version of herself she’s been taught to be. Then come Aiden, Lex, and Eli. They don’t comfort. They consume.
I was obsessed with the way each of them came at her—one calculating, one chaotic, one quietly unhinged. There were scenes that made me physically pause. The tension is so thick, the power dynamics are so layered, and the heat? Unrelenting.
There’s no grand romance here. But somehow, the emotional payoff hits even harder because of it.
If you’re into stalker obsession, trauma bonding, and the kind of “love” that looks a lot like psychological ruin, read this immediately. Just maybe hydrate first.

I. AM. OBSESSED!
I went into this story not knowing anything other than it was a dark stalker romance and when I thought I knew what the twist was going to be and where it was going, WRONG! Then a piece of the puzzle came to light and I was like "ohhh, now I think I know" and yeah, I was wrong again, lol. I couldn't be happier about how wrong I was. I feel like it was a unique twist that even after hundreds of dark romance reads, I wasn't expecting, which is saying something!
It's hard to know how much to say without giving anything away. I don't want to do that, but I will say that Aiden, Eli, and Lex have been through hell and back. They were damaged, but honestly I think they could have been even worse, and it still would have been justified in my eyes. I am just happy they found some measure of happiness in the end.
I am hoping we get to see these characters again either as a cameo in another book or even a novella in the future to show how they are doing. They have been living in my head rent-free since I finish the book. Fantastic!

There's not many books that have left me speechless but Their Little Ghost is definitely one of them. Their Little Ghost is a book I'm not going to be forgetting for a while.
Not in a million years would I have predicted the twists that Holly Bloom drags you through in her new book. It's haunting and dark, the characters Erin, Aiden, Eli and Lex are such amazing characters. Aiden, Eli and Lex are all broken due to the horrors that happen in the asylum and don't be fooled these are not good guys. There is a reason why this is a dark stalker romance. They prey on Erin who is struggling after her sister Sarah disappeared.
Their Little Ghost is a chilling, addictive stalker romance story that once you've started you won't be able to put the book down. It's very addictive and will stay with you long after you've finished the book.

July 12, 2025Wow. Just... wow.
This book completely caught me off guard—in all the best ways.
From the very first chapter, I was hooked. Page after page, I found myself fully immersed, experiencing a whirlwind of emotions—anger, disgust, heartbreak, even moments of envy over how deeply Eli, Lex, and Aiden loved and protected Erin and Sarah. Their fierce devotion, despite all the darkness and madness (thanks to the twisted genius of Dr. Acacia), was both heartbreaking and beautiful.
And let’s not skip over those incredibly intense sex scenes—they honestly deserve their own separate review… followed by a very cold shower. 🔥
The plot was a rollercoaster, full of highs and gut-wrenching lows, with a storyline that kept me guessing right up until the final line. If you're looking for a read that will wreck you emotionally in the best way possible, look no further.

Brilliant Standalone
Oh my fudge what the fudge did I just read?!?
If you love your characters very much on the dark side then this is a must read. From the first page I was hooked, I literally couldn’t put it down. I got completely pulled into the storyline, with my mind spinning with every plot twist. I am speechless. This story is amazing, and I loved these characters so much… they’re all exactly my cup of tea, even the heroine I absolutely adored. I loved seeing the different facets to them all and I loved the found family bond they all had between them. The guys I loved each but I was definitely on Team Zero.
This really is a brilliant book, and I can’t wait to read more from this author. With each new release, her books just get better and better. Highly recommend

Deadly Psychological Thriller
I received this book as an E-ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review.
This is the first Holly Bloom book I have ever read and it is BY FAR the darkest book I have ever read.
Definitely pay close attention to the trigger warnings.
The story started out a bit slow for me, but after a few more chapters it picked up. This book was spicy (five alarm spice) and that I don’t mind at all. But, be prepared it’s NOT romantic.
This is very much a psychological thriller and the plot twist may undo you. If the trauma of our MMCs doesn’t do it first. Aiden, Eli and Lex are trauma bonded brothers. They fight for each other and share EVERYTHING.
I won’t say much about our FMC just know she goes through SO MUCH before and after meeting the MMCs.
3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ OVERALL
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ FIVE ALARM
💀💀💀TOUCH HER and DIE!!!

I have so many thoughts....
This is my first introduction to this author and I am impressed. The storyline had a great pace that keeps you engaged and interested. It also raised alot of questions that could be inferred but also things that allowed for surprises ans twists.
I will say please read the trigger warnings. It toes and crosses some lines that I know are alot. But I'm along for the ride and enjoyed every minute of it.
The guys were absolutely crazy but what do you expect after all these years. It makes even more sense as things progress. And boy is the FMC put through the ringer even by the guys. I knew wax can have it's uses but I definitely learned a new one 😉.
One last thing....THAT ENDING. I have so many feelings!? Holly I would like a convo please 🫣 lol

Holly Bloom, I love your darkly twisted brain. Don’t ever change!
This book is dark and gritty, with more twists and turns, secrets, and lies than any I’ve read in a long time.
The guys are all sharp edges, they’re not redeemable, because they don’t want to be. They are not secret cinnamon rolls for her, so much has been taken away from them, this is all that’s left, unapologetically them. Although my heart broke for what happened to them, it was Eli that made me want to cry.
And Erin, poor Erin, with a monster for a father and then three of his creations setting their sights on her. She had no choice but to change because of them.
With twists and turns that I just didn’t see coming, I could not put this book down, I totally devoured it. Brilliant!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

What to Expect
• Obsessed stalkers with no limit
• A timid FMC they want to corrupt
• Why choose
• Masked men
• FMC searching for her missing sister
• You belong to us little ghost
• FMC's father ruined MMC's lives
• Asylum breakout
• Dark-Dark
I WASN'T PREPARED... I didn't see it coming but boy was it a good one yes I'm talking about plot twist and I'm a sucker for a good one, my mind is still blown it was chef's kiss and the suspense....... To Die For I was hooked and at the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. Loved the characters Erin the FMC, and the MMC's Adien aka zero, Eli aka twenty five and Lex aka forty and their vastly different personalities but meshed together seamlessly.
I don't want to spoil the story I can't say to much and if you want to have the experience I had it would be best enjoyed going in blind, just jump in and enjoy the ride you won't regret it .

I will never stop recommending this book!
Holly Bloom has done an amazing job at keeping me hooked and then blowing my mind. This story is addicting and has become a book I plan to reread many times. The twists and turns really keep you on your toes. I can honestly say I haven't screamed about a book do much. The characters, back story and ending are so extremely well done I'm hooked and want more. Aiden, Lex and Eli.... oh Eli.. these boys have won me over no matter how many times I was mad at them.
If you want to read a book that you won't be forgetting about and everytime you think about or talk about you'll get just as passionate about, jump in... don't run or dive in.. cannonball hard and fast.
