Will Ty be able to survive such a place, when he has gone through so many ordeals? Or will he descend into madness as so many before him?

Rewired: Struggle of Synapse and Symphony
In a world where emotion is outlawed, expression is criminal, and the mind is the most feared weapon of all, one girl refuses to go silent. Ruelle has always been told she feels too much. Too deeply. Too loudly. In a future shaped by the ashes of war and the cold logic of artificial peace, the government has eradicated chaos the only way it knew how-by diagnosing it. Passion is now a pathology. Art is evidence. Expression is a confession. And those who resist are sent to ERA: the Emotional Rehabilitation Asylum, where thoughts are monitored, and minds are broken into compliance. Ruelle has survived here longer than most-not because she's strong, but because she's quiet. She knows the rules. She knows not to cry, not to dream, not to speak unless spoken to. She knows silence is safety. But silence can't hold back what's rising inside her: the memories they tried to erase, the truths they tried to rewrite, and the betrayal that got her locked away in the first place. Her mind has become her last sanctuary-and her last battlefield. Ruelle begins to see that madness might be the last form of freedom-and love, the most dangerous expression of all. In a regime where peace means control and sanity means submission, one thought can start a war. And Ruelle is done thinking quietly. ________________________________________ Perfect for fans of Delirium, Shatter Me, and 1984, Sanity's Crime is a haunting, poetic, and sharp-edged exploration of a girl who dares to feel in a world that punishes feeling. With mind-twisting dystopia, slow-burn rebellion, and prose that cuts like glass, this is not just a story about surviving the system-it's about destroying it from within.Complete
The Void Throughout (Void Stiles - book 2/3)
Void, Theo, Teen Wolf. What else has to be said to make you give this story a chance? This story is a sequel to "The void inside." It takes place around season 5. I know Void isn't originally in season 5 but this is an alternative universe and a sequel so... why not? Preview: With a gasp the girl flew up. What had happened? Was this another life? No, she wouldn't remember anything in that case right? 'W-where am I?' 'You're safe.' She quickly looked to the direction of the voice. Someone was leaning against the wall but it was to dark to really see something. 'Didn't realize I said that aloud. Also didn't expect someone to answer. Who are you?' 'But Keylee-' The figure suddenly stepped in the light. '-I don't believe you forgot me already. You wouldn't forget your childhood-friend so easily right?' Keylee stared at the young man in front of her. It couldn't be.... He moved away years ago. She expected to never see him again, especially not involved with any supernatural stuff... 'T-Theo?'Complete

Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy.

Lost Cause » Void Stiles
❝What's so great about sanity? I don't see you having any fun.❞ When asked to define insanity, a great majority of the Eichen House staff would direct the questioner to a petite brunette by the name of Lita Mitchell. In a building comprised of clinically insane people, too dangerous to roam freely within society, the self-proclaimed lost cause was highlighted like no other. A cold blooded killer like many others, her abnormality came in the form of her mind; her incapability to feel guilt of any form. Logically- she would be locked up in the closed unit, safe & sound in her own complimentary straight jacket. But within the illogical & frequently violent walls of Eichen House, everyone knew that wasn't about to happen any time soon. Crazy had yet to be proven contagious, therefore they saw no reason to isolate her- or prevent her from befriending their newest resident. An insomniac with terrifying hallucinations, he seemed innocent enough; surely no harm could result from allowing him to befriend the notorious Lita Mitchell. Then again, they hadn't met the demon in his head. [season 3B] © 2015 // Aly aka @insatiabIeComplete
Crazyhouse (Book 1)
Blair's once ordinary life is shattered after she is convicted for the murder of her best friend and imprisoned in Draywell's Institute for the Criminally Insane. As she becomes plagued with nightmares that blur the line between reality and dreams, Blair sets out to recapture her freedom. In a desperate effort to prove her innocence, she enlists the help of an unlikely ally. Apollyn, tormented by his dark past, has long been a mystery to the asylum. As demons he thought he had left behind close in, using Blair as a pawn in their game, Apollyn reluctantly reveals his secrets. Caught between two worlds, both Blair and Apollyn must confront their deepest fears to set each other free. Dark, twisted, and compelling, this story explores the fine line between sanity and madness, trust and betrayal, and darkness and light. Crazyhouse is the first installment of a trilogy series including the titles Crazyhouse, Blitz, and Armageddon. Reviews: "Few books manage to balance supernatural horror with deep, psychological storytelling quite like Crazyhouse. At its core, this is a novel about morality-how we define it, how we justify our own darkness, and whether redemption is truly possible. The worldbuilding is immersive, steeped in eerie, flickering lights and the ominous weight of demonic power. Apollyn is a protagonist as compelling as he is tragic, his battle for control echoing throughout every interaction and decision. Crazyhouse is a masterful blend of gothic horror, existential dread, and supernatural suspense." "If you like morally gray characters, intricate plots, and stories that linger with you long after the last page, this book is for you. A gripping, darkly beautiful read."Complete

May mga pangyayaring pilit nating kinakalimutan, ngunit sila mismo ang bumabalik-bitbit ang bangungot na iniwan nila sa ating isipan. Sa isang lumang bahay na ngayon ay tahimik ngunit puno ng alaala, isang lihim ang patuloy na nagkukubli. Sa bawat halakhak ng bata, sa bawat pagaspas ng kurtina, may mga matang nakatingin-hindi nakikita, ngunit nararamdaman. Si Daisy, isang simpleng dalagang walang muwang sa kababalaghan, ay malalagay sa gitna ng isang misteryo-isa kung saan ang demonyo ay hindi palaging may sungay at buntot. Minsan, nakaupo ito sa tabi mo, nakangiti, at may pangalang kilala mo. Ito ang simula ng katapusan ng katahimikan.Complete
