Review: Till Death Do Us Part

The Asylum Confessions: Till Death Do Us Part

The Asylum Confession Files #3

by Jack Steen

They arrive alive. They leave dead.

But first, they give me their confessions and this time – it’s all about the couples who kill together.

Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions that relate to things these couples did:

Patient 852 is a Preacher with a past.

Patient 1123 shouldn’t be trusted.

Patient 901 are farmers with buried secrets.

Patient 643 has a thing for soil and gardens.

WHO AM I? I think by now you know who I am…Jack Steen and for those who arrive on my ‘death’ ward at the Asylum, I’m the last face many will see before they die. I’m the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers and they know me as the Angel of Death. I offer my patients a deal: in exchange for an easy death, I want their story. Not the one anyone can read about in the papers, I want the real story – the one they haven’t told anyone else.

Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves…those are the stories I want. If they give them to me, I’ll make their death…easier.

They’re already dying, that’s why they’re now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions.

The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing me and messing with my head. It’s a chance I’m willing to take. And now…they might just be playing with yours too.

Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box, The Haunting and can’t get enough stories about serial killers are going to enjoy reading the deathbed confessions from The Asylum.

WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers and such, so what do you expect?

REVIEW

4 out of 5

I enjoyed this collection of stories the most so far. I wasn’t crazy about some interludes, there were a few instances with Jack that just seemed randomly inserted to give the reader more insight into the character, but didn’t feel natural. I think patient 643 was my favorite overall, although each story was interesting in its own way. Furthermore, I certainly won’t be looking at thriving gardens the same way again!
