The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling

Margaret lives with a rare autoimmune condition that has destroyed her life, leaving her isolated. It has no cure, but she’s making do as best she can—until she’s offered a fully paid-for spot in an experimental medical trial at Graceview Memorial. The conditions are simple, if grueling: she will live at the hospital as a full-time patient, subjecting herself to the near-total destruction of her immune system and its subsequent regeneration. The trial will essentially kill most of, but not all of her. But as the treatment progresses and her body begins to fail, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital. Unsure of what's real and what is just medication-induced delusion, Margaret struggles to find a way out as her body and mind succumb further to the darkness lurking throughout Graceview's halls.

Animorphs Book 42: The Journey by K. A. Applegate

The Journey is lighter in tone than the previous few installments, but with very high stakes. The Helmacrons are back, and they have had character development in a funny but good(?) way. Weirdly, this is not the Animorphs’ first trip into a stomach.‬

I like the Helmacrons as antagonists, and their nature as a fungible species means they have all the ambition of the Yeerks, without as many factions (but somehow still not just one). I appreciate how they have grown as characters without losing what makes them interesting.

Marco’s involvement in this story is nerve-wracking, and the wrap-up feels true coming from Rachel.
