The Asylum Confessions: Till Death Do Us Part by Jack Steen

 

The Asylum Confessions: Till Death Do Us Part by Jack Steen - 226 pages

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.

Not a bad read, I like the back and forth between Jack and the patient.  Decent stories, some are a bit messed up.  Overall an ok read.

The Asylum Confessions #4 by Jack Steen - 242 pages

They arrive alive. They always leave dead.
But first, they give me their confessions. My name is 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 am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. Here's what they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head.
Now, maybe they're messing with yours too.

Inside this book are 5
One thought she gave birth to the antichrist.
One has the nickname of The Candyman - any guesses why?
One grew up in a cult and believes he's the first of a 'pure' race.
Another was part of a secret test by the government, and I've been waiting on his confession for a while! Then there's this kid who loved Halloween and believed in all the rules. I sure hope you didn't break any... 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?

 I had heard about this series of books from a reading page I am a part of so I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm not sure what I'd expected, but this book was just ok, but not sure it's worth reading any more in the series.
