About this listen

RETURN TO BLACKWOOD INSTITUTE.

RUN BY THE INSANE, FOR THE INSANE.

Monster. Victim. Predator. Prey. I’ve always been certain of one hard fact–I don’t deserve to live. For all the pain and suffering I’ve inflicted, I tried to take the ultimate punishment. Anything to escape the horror of living with my crimes.

Survival wasn’t part of the bargain. The family I never intended to find are determined to keep me alive, but my mind has been turned against me. I don’t know what’s real anymore.

When the devil comes knocking, I’m forced to confront the truth. Blackwood Institute is far from what it seems. Now, I must learn how deep the darkness truly goes.

As our lives are thrown into chaos, harrowing secrets are uncovered and the carefully constructed illusion begins to unravel. I’ll stop at nothing to protect my family, even if that means sacrificing myself to the horrors of the Z Wing.

I’ve been running from my demons for a long time, but the truth is about to catch up to me. Time to become the monster the world thinks I am.

Author's Note: Sacrificial Sinners is a reverse harem contemporary romance set in an experimental mental health institution. This is book two in the trilogy and it must be listened to in order. Full trigger warning is available inside.

It is so difficult to write a review for this book without revealing too much..I don't want to spoil anything.
This is the 2nd book in the Blackwood institute series and it starts were book 1 ends so Twisted Heathens must be read or listened to first.
I can honestly say I have never listened to a story quite like this before,It has made me question myself,because am I supposed to enjoy a story that can be so disturbing at times.?
I found myself feeling uncomfortable sometimes too,but I could not tear myself away from this story,because it is intriguing and captivating..I have to know how ALL of this will end.
Blackwood Institute is a hideous place for the mentally ill,which has a sinister side and drives the patients to the edge...Augustus is a psychopath and there is a twist that is shocking about who else is involved with his sordid plans for the patients.
We are back with Brooklyn and her guys Kade,Hudson,Eli and Phoenix..they have become a unit a family..they share a bond emotionally and sexually and sometimes it is destructive.
But their little family is breaking and they are trying to fix it after the Brooklyn incident with Rio in book 1..This book is the aftermath of that event.
We learn more about the characters and their backgrounds and what brought them to Blackwood..
They ALL suspect something BAD is happening at Blackwood and a new threat is put in place making the patients lives HELL...Protecting eachother is becoming difficult.
You really do fall in love with these characters,I felt empathy with them all Kade wants to save everyone,His brother Hudson can be a brute he is always angry,Phoenix is confident and sure of who he is a bit of a playboy but that changes in this book,Eli is MUTE after what his father did to him and I wanted to just Hug him.
Brooklyn is the woman who they are all obsessed with she has history with Hudson and her past is full of abuse until one day she had had enough and did something that landed her into this cycle of being institutionalised.I have grown to have affection for all of them despite what they have done...
I think I must be unhinged because honestly this story has some triggers for me,but I listened to it anyway and I did find some scenes really hard for me to digest,as this story does take a sinister turn and it is painful and emotional to hear.
The Narration by Bridget Bordeaux and Grant Armstrong is Fantastic it must have been difficult for them to read some of this and they are just Amazing portraying the characters in this story.They both give a passionate disturbing performance for us to get lost in..Because you will become enthralled with their storytelling and the dark depraved story of Blackwood Institute.
J.Rose's mind must be very warped..lol..I mean no offence when I say that because she has written a very engrossing series.
I enjoyed listening to this Audiobook.
5 Stars.

Intriguing and Dark.

Wow !! So much packed into a book. I got the audiobook and I just love the narrators so very much, they really bring life to the characters and writing. Some mysteries were solved and new questions have arrived and I can’t wait for the next book to come!! J Rose has quickly become a favourite writer of mine! Please check author notes for content awareness as this is certainly a dark romance!!!

Amazing 🤩

This is an intense read as the Institute continues to try and break Brooklyn and bend her to their will. There are some really brutal moments for all the characters and it's not just Brooklyn who has to claw her way out of the darkness; there are some actions which can't be undone this time round.

Although the series' are standalone, I knew some of Brooklyn's backstory from the Sabre Security books which I have read previously but not the details. The twists and turns still got me and I was not prepared for those last few chapters with Bridget Bordeaux doing an amazing performance at this part. Both narrators have a lot of heavy lifting to do as there are some really bleak moments as just when think humans can't be any worse to each other, you're proven wrong. It's an emotional listen with some real sucker punches along the way.

Nix and Eli's development was my highlight though; Nix in particular has a great arc and I liked the exploration of how betrayed he felt by Brooklyn's choices in the last book rather than glossing over it. My heart broke for Hudson and Kade too in different ways as they have to deal with some major consequences orchestrated by Kade's father. I'm hoping there is some vengeance heading his way in book three!

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read
