About this ebook

When the illusion shatters, what remains?

Daphne came back to the island to save her best friend.

She didn’t expect the island to save her.

Determined to rescue Cam and expose Dr. Hortense Gray’s dangerous “living art” experiments, Daphne returns to The Purgatorium ready to burn it down.

But nothing is what she believed.

As federal agents storm the compound and secrets unravel, Daphne discovers that the truth behind the island is far more complicated—and far more terrifying—than she imagined.

The line between therapy and manipulation.

Between victim and volunteer.

Between art and exploitation.

When the illusion finally cracks, Daphne must confront a devastating reality: power can corrupt . . . but it can also heal.

And sometimes the only way to change a system—

is from the inside.

In this explosive finale to the YA romance-thriller trilogy, love is tested, loyalties fracture, and Daphne must decide who she wants to become.

What a rush! Pohler had me engaged throughout, intellectually, emotionally, & imaginatively. This novel is well written & edited. Pohler’s inviting and up beat writing style really allows you to connect with the characters. The fast paced story kept me on my toes. It was intensely and shockingly thought provoking. I thoroughly enjoyed the melding of psychology with adventure and risk taking. The flashbacks at the beginning really upped the intensity of the tale. I will warn readers, however, that they really need to read the rest of the series for context on this one. The characters in this novel were fantastic. I loved how some were the same individuals that we’ve come to know and love (or hate) in the first two novels of the series. Others have ‘taken off their masks’ and revealed their true selves. I loved how Pohler showed the correlation between the two. Everyone’s actions and reactions were so genuine. Not only did I feel as if I’d met these individuals, they drew me in so that I felt as if I was on the island alongside them. This was a great conclusion to this fantastically unique and wildly thought provoking series.
