Mania: A mental illness consisting of episodes of profound
excitement, euphoria, delusions, and over-activity.
I deal with highs and lows, but somehow, I end up making the best of it.
My family disowned me, but family is the reason why I’m in Vegas.
Even with my inability to think straight, I end up being in charge of a bunch
of runaway mental patients.
Control doesn’t exist if someone is fighting their mind. We have to break in
order to mend.
Constantly.
Hence, The Asylum.
A sanctuary for lost causes.
Where crazy can roam free, and compulsions can be let loose.
My nephew says as long as it stays at The Asylum, we won’t have problems.
What fun would it be if problems didn’t exist?
And my problem is in the shape of a dancer, twirling on the front lawn in the
middle of the night.
Her laughter is music.
Her beauty is timeless.
And my mania has kicked in overdrive.
When I’m obsessed with something, it’s more than what the normal person feels.
If I can’t have her, no one can.
If I can’t have her, I’ll die.
And I’ll make sure she’ll die too.
I’m a lunatic who has found the living breathing version of his mania.
Johnaka's Review
“Crazy, 4 stars”
Zain is straight up crazy. But if you’ve been reading Savage for a while now, you probably knew that. When Chole/Jessica comes into the picture, it almost makes all the crazy come to life. Both of them are completely ill, facing their own struggles. I wanted to scream and say they didn’t belong together. Two mentally ill people should not be together, that’s a breeding ground for crazy, right? At the same time, these two just worked. They understood each other on a level no one else would have been able to. He handled her two personalities like a champ, and she let him be. I’m not exactly sure what I think of this series yet, but I can’t wait to see where Savage takes it. That and I’m a firm believer in writing about the taboo and in her own way Savage is doing just that with this series.

EXCERPT
I lean back on my elbows and stare up at the sky. The stars twinkle and blink,
and the endless abyss is a blanket of black, with slight hues of dark blue. The
open space that allows me to see the countless constellations has me a little
more mesmerized than I ought to be. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able
to see something that hasn’t been blocked by bars on the outside of a window.
I’ll never take anything beautiful for granted.
“It’s such a gorgeous night!” a sweet, harmonic voice says from out of nowhere.
I sit up and glance around, staring back and forth to see if I can spot who the
voice belongs to. I don’t see a damn thing. “Shit, maybe Reaper is right. I
don’t need to be drinking right now.” I set the beer down and rub my eyes,
fucking exhausted. It’s hard to sleep when my mind is always on, constantly
with the thoughts, and battling the urge to not fucking lose it.
A giggle from my left wakes me up. I stand and run down the steps, wondering
where the hell it is coming from.
“So much space!” The angelic tone is a song filtering through the exhaustion.
She’s getting closer now. It’s cold out here, and dark. What if she’s lost?
She’ll need help. I spin around again, staring over the outline of the
cactuses, but then the scuff and grind of sand sounds from behind me. I turn,
holding my breath when the faint glow of the porch light illuminates against
platinum blonde hair. Her arms are above her head, and she’s smiling as if she
isn’t in forty-degree weather wearing a black dress that blends in with the
night. Her skin is the color of cream, the kind someone puts in their coffee.
I’m enamored.
I stand there, staring at the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen, watching
her spin and dip like she’s a ballerina. Her movements are smooth and
effortless, like waves in the sea, flowing in constant sets of perfection. One
arm reaches out, like she’s stretching to touch an object that has her
attention, and damn it, I wish it was me. Her back leg lifts and her dress dips
low in the back and the material in the front falls over the leg on the ground.
My thoughts start to race, imagining her in my arms in bed, kissing her plump
lips that are red from the cold air of the night, grabbing her tits that bounce
with every graceful move she makes, and wanting her to be mine.
Only mine.
It’s dangerous when a man like me wants so deeply because I don’t have the
ability to let go.
And I know if she were to ever be mine, I wouldn’t allow her to let go.
I’d take her will.
I’d take her freedom.
I’d take.
Until all there was in her world was me. All she could ever want is me.

AUTHOR BIO
K.L. Savage decided they were tired of looking for the kind of books they
wanted to read. They had an itch that needed to be scratched, and as every girl
knows, nothing scratches better than an alpha.
They write about gritty, alpha males, sometimes their dark sides, and the women
they love.
If you have the same itch, their alpha males should fix that.
