Explore The Purgatorium Series: A Young Adult Romantic Thriller
Where fear is therapy—and love is the risk.
Daphne Janus was sent to a private island to heal.
Instead, she was enrolled in an experiment.
At The Purgatorium, grief is treated as performance art. Fear is carefully staged. And Dr. Hortense Gray believes that survival is the only true cure for suicidal thoughts.
But the therapy crosses ethical lines.
And sometimes the danger is real.
As Daphne navigates haunted cliffs, psychological games, and a program designed to push her to the brink, she begins to question everything—her parents’ intentions, her best friend’s loyalty, and the boy who seems to understand her darkness better than anyone else.

Healing can be deadly.
Seventeen-year-old Daphne Janus thinks she’s escaping to a private island retreat with her best friend.
Instead, she’s been admitted to The Purgatorium—an experimental “suicide therapy” program where fear is used as treatment, grief becomes performance art, and nothing is quite what it seems.
The doctor calls it living art.
Daphne calls it dangerous.
As staged hauntings blur into real threats and island legends echo through the cliffs, Daphne can’t tell whether she’s part of a therapeutic exercise—or trapped in something far more sinister.
Then there’s Stan.
Quiet. Watchful. Unpredictable.
He seems to understand the darkness she’s trying to outrun. But on an island built on manipulation, trusting someone might be the most dangerous choice of all.
As secrets unravel and a body is discovered, Daphne must decide who to believe—before the program meant to save her becomes the thing that destroys her.
In this gripping YA romance-thriller, survival means facing the truth . . . even when it’s the last thing you want to see.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Psychological thrillers
• Dark YA romance
• Island mysteries
• Grief and trauma narratives
• Twisty, unreliable tension

This time, she’s not the victim.
Daphne survived The Purgatorium.
Now it’s her turn to run it.
After enduring Dr. Hortense Gray’s experimental “living art” therapy, Daphne is invited to participate from the other side—designing psychological games for the people who hurt her most.
Her parents.
Her boyfriend.
Revenge has never felt so justified.
But power changes everything.
As staged hauntings escalate into real danger—helicopters, caves, snakes, blood in the water—Daphne begins to realize the line between therapy and cruelty is thinner than she thought.
And when real bullets fly and lives hang in the balance, Daphne must decide:
Will she protect the illusion . . . or protect the people she loves?
On an island where fear is medicine and truth is forbidden, Daphne is learning something terrifying—
Sometimes becoming stronger means becoming someone you don’t recognize.
In this gripping YA romance-thriller, love deepens, loyalties fracture, and the cost of revenge may be more than Daphne is willing to pay.

When the illusion shatters, what remains?
Daphne came back to the island to save her best friend.
She didn’t expect the island to save her.
Determined to rescue Cam and expose Dr. Hortense Gray’s dangerous “living art” experiments, Daphne returns to The Purgatorium ready to burn it down.
But nothing is what she believed.
As federal agents storm the compound and secrets unravel, Daphne discovers that the truth behind the island is far more complicated—and far more terrifying—than she imagined.
The line between therapy and manipulation.
Between victim and volunteer.
Between art and exploitation.
When the illusion finally cracks, Daphne must confront a devastating reality: power can corrupt . . . but it can also heal.
And sometimes the only way to change a system—
is from the inside.
In this explosive finale to the YA romance-thriller trilogy, love is tested, loyalties fracture, and Daphne must decide who she wants to become.
