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.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
It's a good ending, it's fitting. It's quirky, everyone is in the most appropriate place. Cassie is where she needs to be. Everyone else is on a cliffhanger mission.

Ending it with the lull wouldn't have worked. I like how their reactions to the end make sense. I want this whole series to have had more of Tobias, I wish he and Ax had had their own slots in the series-long narrator rotation rather than sharing. The ship ruse is funny, sweet, and a bit tragic. I feel like they're real people who will keep going past the last page, however long that is.

I love these books. I'm sad they're over. I'll probably read Remnants or some of the author's more recent work at some point.

If you haven't read these before, it's worth it, I promise you. I hope you've enjoyed these reviews, now go read a book of your own.
