Case Williams (Depravity) and Cindy Cotton (Deranged) have made Arkham Asylum their own--the building, the staff, the patients, and the doctors. They rule by fear, by depravity, by decadence, and by derangement. Everything was going lovely until the new patients began showing up. First, it's Case's sister, Jennifer (Depravity). Then, Cindy's sister, Zella (Deranged). Finally, Amber Hammond and Jessa Thompson (Decadence).
As power and relationship dynamics inside Arkham shift, the crazies become diabolical, the normal becomes insane, and hell rises to the occasion.
***Although Depravity, Decadence, and Deranged are standalone stories, they come together as one in Defiled. All four books have triggers.
If you’re looking for a dark, demented story with a twisted plot full of coercion, manipulation, intimidation, dubious consent, graphic violence and a dose of sexual deviance for good measure, Defiled has it all! Arkham Asylum houses the worst of worst and patients Case and Cindy have been ruling over everyone including the staff. The new group of patients give them and the staff a run for their money in the Arkham hierarchy but not everything is as it seems. Written in third person with multiple points of view, Max Street brought me into the madness and past trauma of each of the main characters. While still keeping me guessing as to who would prevail as top dog at Arkham, I was not prepared for that plot twist towards the end! Highly recommend for anyone who loves venturing into the dark. If you have any triggers, please proceed with caution as this book and series contains many potentially triggering topics and scenes.
