Have you ever read a book that throws you so far through a loop, said loop wraps around your intestines, and ties a pretty bow around your heart and squeezes hard? Yeah that’s all metaphorical of course, but damn did I go through the wringer with this one…
First of all, straight up 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, if I could give it more, I’d be filling up those stars so damn fast. This has been one of few of my fave reads in a while and I’m so glad I was able to adv read Lolli-Gag
From the start you get a moment of sweet, kid/teen with their friend. Then you’re thrown straight into it with no messing around from Ashlynn. And as per norm, please check your triggers because this one is chock-a-block full of them! Think the last book that made you go OMG, then times that by 10 because that’s your reaction in so many instances.
I don’t want to give anything away, but I want to touch on the FMC for a moment. This is based in an institution, where Lolli (Logan) has been for some years. In some moments you get a child-like personality from her but she’s more complex than that. Her trauma is dug deep inside her, the repercussions of one traumatic day leaving her where she is whilst being blamed for harming herself.
Looking forward to finding out where things go in book 2.. I desperately want to know about Axel too!
What a mind fuck of a book! What is real, what is planted, what is true?! Yet again Ashlynn pulls a banger out of her twisted brain and I will forever be here for it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you have read the Kings of Chaos and Mayhem series, particularly Bedlam, then you will know our FMC, Lolli! She's such an intensely misunderstood girl, in an place where no matter what truth she shares, she's always treated like she's delusional and can't accept the narrative she fed. Until three new intakes happen, and they SEE her. Nothing is what it seems at
Hillsboro Institute for the Criminally Insane and the person pulling the strings has plans for all those involved.

This one was really good. I loved getting to meet Lolli (Logan), Jagger, Lucifer, Killian and Vinny. I also really loved the cameo of Axel Cyprus.
What happens to Logan for her to become Lolli and end up at Hillsboro did break me a little and I was a little glad that she got her little adventure / closure.
Vinny is still a bit of a mystery and I’m hoping that we get a little more insight into what happened to him / where he went after he left Jagger. Not that I don’t want more of the rest of them but he’s the one that I think I need to know more about
This story was amazing! It was so dark and twisted. Read the triggers first before diving in because Ashlynn doesn't play with her darkness. Lolli is one of my new favorites!!! Lolli-Gag definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and made me question my sanity. This was just incredible and criminally insane. Ash writes darkness and I consume it like the air we need to breathe. I'm excited for whatever comes next!
This was so entertaining! They may be off their mental capacity but what a hoot when Lolli talks with her imaginary protective friend. She’s been wronged and her abuser was her own mother. I feel for her. But let’s not forget to mention how she gets involved with her new men that are just as mental with a cause. Great story that makes you laugh, cringe and anticipate the chemistry between the characters.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As always another fabulous work by Ashlynn. Ashlynn is the cliffhanger queen and has me staring at the wall afterwards every book!! I really loved Lolli-Gag, Lolli is so absolutely fabulous and twisted. The guys are so unhinged too. Buckle up for this one and check those trigger warnings ⚠️
What the eff!!! This book will make you feel like you are going crazy right along with the crazy people you are reading about. The cool thing about it, is that it was designed that way. No surprise since this is an Ashlynn book, as soon as you think you're starting to figure things out...boom ends, cliffhanger. I need book 2 to come out asap!
I’m so confused. What did I just read? What just happened? The mind games will leaving you begging for more. Lots of action and psychological warfare IMO. Please read the triggers because there are a lot of them. Lolli and her guys aren’t to be messed with. Bring on the next book please!
