About this ebook

Every Last Psycho contains two tales of two girls: Every Last Thought and Psycho Girl.


One girl hears voices screaming in the shadows; the other burns with self-absorbed hunger. 


Every Last Thought


‘Rocking backwards and forwards; deep breaths in and out’


Sixteen-year-old Tess Davis suffers from schizophrenia, triggered six years ago by the onset of her twin brother’s death. She’s felt broken ever since. But when new guy Ed moved to her school two years ago, life gave her a reason to live joyously. Ed made her happy, becoming the friend she needed. But she didn’t plan to fall in love with him, and love isn’t always requited.


Distraught by Ed’s new girlfriend and a horrific trauma Tess endures, she finds herself spiraling out of control and into cocaine-fueled delusions. Will she be able to regain a grip on life?


Psycho Girl


‘Deep inside, I feel nothing. I am nothing.’


Eighteen-year-old Evelyn Baxter is beautiful, confident, popular and well off. Everyone loves her; her friends, her family, her boyfriend. She is all set to apply to the University of Cambridge to study Law. But when another girl in her year gets accepted into Cambridge and she doesn’t, Evelyn’s perfect mask starts to peel away. 


Murder, deceit and manipulation show Evelyn to be the monster she truly is. But will those around her realize it? 


One is the victim of cruelty, the other creates it. One lives in the concrete jungle of London, the other in the suburban town of Bletchfield. Both novellas are in one binding, echoing the dark horrors within.

This book is an incredible read. It's a freaky insight into mental illness, instability, and the desperate need for early identification and treatment of mental illness. It really made me laugh, cry, and feel just about every emotion I could possibly feel. I'm like that when I read, and in life in general, I'm just very emo, but this was a real emo roller coaster. And in a good way... it really pulls you in and makes you think and feel what these characters are feeling. You can't help but feel for them and wonder how, why, etc. It's very visceral. I read this after a horror story, however, and i think it's time for something just a bit lighter! Lol ;-) for me, this was very deep and emotional. I think it should be read by someone with the emotional capacity to handle triggers and difficult situations, as it is a big dose of deep topics. That said, they're handled well and with care. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntaril
