I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers &#8211; among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There&#8217;s a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven&#8217;t told anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head.<br>Now, maybe they&#8217;re messing with yours too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Patient 1024 has an interesting &#8216;appetite&#8217;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patient 974 is the Ken to his Barbie, and he would do anything to keep her happy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patient 871 is a Nanny, but not one you want watching your kids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patient 1203 is the sweetest, broken soul you&#8217;ll ever meet but her confession is a hard read.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>WARNING: There is swearing in this book.

Okay&#8230;um&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I was looking for something quick to read to up my books read for my Goodreads challenge and I came across this series on Amazon. I was in the mood for horror. Figured it would be a good genre to read, seeing as it was October when I was searching for horror reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ended up coming across this series and devoured the first book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess the author is a night nurse at an asylum but some people are saying that that isn&#8217;t true. The author said that these books are about the confessions his patients give him before they pass. Again, not sure if that&#8217;s true or not. So it kind of messes with your head. I know it did mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four parts to this book. Each part about a different patient. They&#8217;re in the asylum for the criminally insane, so they&#8217;re all bad people, right? That I really can&#8217;t answer. The one I felt awful for. Another, I was disgusted. One just made me feel like &#8220;oh that&#8217;s been done before and isn&#8217;t anything new&#8221; and the last one? Are they a good person or not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think I had more questions than answers by the time I was done this book but I instantly one-clicked the next book in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please be warned though: There ARE triggers. But this is a horror book, so triggers kind of come with the territory. If you decide to grab this book, please read with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I truly have no words for what I just read but of course, I&#8217;ll read the rest of the series because I want to know more. Oh and I wonder if the author is truly who he says he is, maybe he writes these books as a way to cope with what he&#8217;s dealt with for years. But I also wonder, if he is who he says he is, if he is a good guy or not&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=twintalk-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B08FY7H34H&#038;asins=B08FY7H34H&#038;linkId=3ebc7916bd6777906bd04246520bd9d9&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They arrive alive.
