About this listen

Monster. That's what they call me.

Lock your doors, hold your loved ones tight. The Carver is on the loose. Except I'm not. I was caught. The days of allowing my inner depravity to run wild are over. I've been sent to prison for good, something of a celebrity in this dark, dank hell-hole they call Alabaster Penitentiary. The only thing I have left to offer the world is my story, and unfortunately for me, the Warden has the rest of my life to get it out of me.

Being poked and prodded, examined and tested on isn't something I enjoy very much. Until they send him... The new doctor is here to study me and my crimes. And I'm beginning to think we might not be as different as it seems. He craves knowledge the way I crave the blood of my victims. Despite his robotic nature, there's just something about him... Something I want. But I'll have to be careful not to smother it to death. After all... It's kind of my thing.

**Brainwashed is a dark M/M doctor-patient romance, an interconnected standalone in the Alabaster Penitentiary series. While it follows a new couple, we strongly recommend you read Volumes 1-2 first to avoid spoilery situations. This book has true crime elements that may make some listeners uncomfortable. It is intended for mature audiences. Please proceed with caution. A detailed list of CW's can be found here: authornylak.com/brainwashed-content-warning

It is great to be back in Alabaster Penitentiary for another amazing romance novel, a dark and twisted mind-blow that is addictive and hard to pull away from because you just need to know what happens next. Nyla K. is a gifted author with a brilliant mind, a deviously brilliant mind, and I mean that in the best of ways. Her descriptive writing and details take you right alongside these characters, giving you a bird's-eye view of everything they are thinking and experiencing, putting you in the room where it happens. This third book is Felix Darcey’s story, Alabaster’s resident serial killer, aka the carver. Alabaster is an unconventional prison and a lot of unconventional things go on, and Blanco, the ward in charge, recruits another doctor to work with Darcey. Dr. Lemuel “Lem” Love is tired of his life and when offered an opportunity to work with one of the most notorious serial killers, he couldn’t refuse. Lem did not exactly fit in with the other doctors, but he avoided them as much as possible. Felix was not a fan of the other doctors or their treatment either and was looking forward to working with the new doctor, Dr. Love. OMG, it was great to watch Lem get into Felix’s head and hear everything he did, his logic in regards and his fixation on killing. Felix is crushing on the doctor who is straight, but there is no doubt about the chemistry between them, though Lem denies it and refuses to go there. Felix gets into Lem’s head and he questions his own needs and preferences. I loved how everything played out in this book, the writing, plot and world building are phenomenal, as are the character growth and development. This book may take some out of their comfort zone, and the author warms to proceed with caution. I say go in with an open mind and enjoy the wild ride. I got some Silence of the Lamb vibes, except Clarice was a male and Hannibal had a crush and was looking for more, and then add some more insanity to the story and kink, too. Nyla K., thank you for another amazing story and wild ride. 

🎧📚🎧Walker Williams and Brent Billings did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. Brent Billings is a “new to me” narrator, while it took me a while to get used to his pacing and delivery, and once I did, I was hooked. He nailed it as Dr. Love, grasping every aspect of his personality, transformed as his character did as the story went on. Walker Williams delivered in his role as Darcey, playing the perfect sociopath. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this fantastic listen.

This book was dark and in the best way possible!!

Lem & Felix’s Story was literally Everything!!
I loved the dynamics of their relationship and just adored how Lem just got Felix and they literally resonated on another level entirely.

Nyla K really writes such addicting characters and I am so here for it.

Also the Narration was amazing ♥️
