“I’d rather dash headfirst into a woodchipper than spend another minute under the care of Dr. Emmanuel Campos.”  This should really not have been one of my favorite quotes but it was. Now before you pull a me and go “yep, this is my book” by a simple quote, let me say this is an Erotic Horror type book. But if thats your style, darling, jump head first. Don’t ask questions but dive right in and enjoy. 

Ok this book, this one is a Psychological Thriller and I will genuinely have a hard time talking about it without giving too many details away. It is one of those that has little hidden details as you go and you don’t realize it until literally the last about 4% of the book. So let’s see what I can get into. 

We meet Declan as he is seeking help for his nightmares. He has been having these since he was about 8 years old. They started in his sleep but slowly started becoming part of his life. He would feel this thing always lurking. Sometimes it also felt like this thing was hurting him in real life. He was going to doctor after doctor but they kept not believing anything he said. He just wanted relief. 

This is when Declan meets Doc. Doc is well versed in this topic of the nightmares. So he decides to help Declan the best he could. Except Doc was caught up on Declans first love, Daphne. After sharing details about his first love, Declan feels that maybe the Doc may actually be able to help since Declan has never told anyone these details. Little does Declan know, he is about to be in for a world of change. 

Will Declan get the help he needs? At what cost? What happened to his first love? What really is going on with these nightmares? 

This is my first read from author SB Rogue and it will surely not be my last!! Y’all, this was such a wonderful mindfuck. I will literally be back for more because I finished the book as seriously was happily surprised with how the book ended. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t looking for a HEA in any way but to see how this book ended, I was surprised. I absolutely loved how this felt like we wrapped everything up into a perfect little bow. 

The book had multiple occasions where I sat back going “are we about to go this direction?” But then I had to remind myself to sit back and just enjoy the ride. I cannot speak enough positive statements about this book. If you are a Romcom person, I do not recommend this book. You need to be ok with dark topics. This isn’t the darkest I have read but it isn’t going to be a light read. But if you are a dark reader, please check the trigger warnings and pick up this book. It was delicious! I now have to go find more to read. Dang you SB Rogue!!!!!
