Camp Hell

Camp Hell delivers more of PsyCop goodness. There is Vic's funny introspection, Jacob in all his glory, more insight in to the depth of Vic's powers and his past, and we learn more about Jacob as a person. Readers who are ready to start with installment #5 are well acquainted with Vic and well, he is good old Vic:

“The map of the transit system should’ve been easy to read. I knew where I was, and I knew where I was going. The routes were color-coded. But there was that transfer thing, and the special Sunday turnaround, and every time I thought I had a handle on which train station I should go to, the route dissolved in my mind and I was left gazing at the big map and starting over again at “you are here.” “

And Jacob, is … show more well … Jacob:

“I heard Jacob come in and bound up the stairs. He’s got energy to do things like that, because he eats right, exercises, and doesn’t take questionable pills.”

“Miraculously, nothing landed on my suit – which I was dying to get out of, but the thought of being naked with all that judgmental, muscular bulk in my house made me uneasy …”

And as ever present, there is the city of Chicago making its appearance subtly by description:

“A faraway gunshot, a few blocks away, at least. There weren’t any followup shots, or screams or sires, either. Typical noise. I’d been sleeping through it for years.”

Camp Hell brings some interesting changes to the series and it truly is one of my favorites in the series. To begin with, the book itself is longer than the earlier novellas – it is close to 300 pages. While this series has always been more character driven than romance focused, Vic and Jacob’s relationship has some serious progression which is very nice to read about. Not only is their relationship progression, but Vic is getting closer to learning about his own history. Through an interesting method of writing flashbacks into the story, Ms. Price shows us Vic in his early twenties and what life was like for him while he was in Camp Hell. Vic reflects on his attitude when he was young and makes fun of who he used to be. In her typical style, the scenes are funny but emotionally gripping as well. One of the most rewarding parts of this book for me focuses on Jacob and what he learns about himself.

Jacob is more vulnerable in Camp Hell – vulnerable emotionally that is. He makes his love for Vic known and there are quite a few scenes that had me on the floor due to the sweetness. Basically, Jacob is becoming more three dimensional to the readers because, I think, he is becoming more three dimensional to Vic. He is not just beefcake anymore.

The hardest part of finishing Camp Hell (although I finished the book with a huge smile on my face) is knowing that there is only one more published book left in the series. Although Ms. Price is working on sequel which should be out later this year. Thank goodness.. show less

Wow, this was such an amazing installment, one of my favorites in this series. The flashbacks to Camp Hell added a lot to the story, and I loved having this window into Vic’s troubled past (even though imagining him with a mohawk cracked me up

In Camp Hell we get a much longer single story than any of the other PsyCop stories, which is a very, very good thing! I really like Vic a lot, he's so cynical and sweet at the same time and you can tell he's got a heart of gold. He kind of reminds me of Harry Dresden if Dresden were gay, a drug addict and a medium as opposed to being a wizard. In this story I really enjoyed the intertwining plot lines of Vic uncovering his past while dodging a government agency who wants to hire him and unraveling a mystery about patients dying in a hospital.

The only thing that made me a little squeamish was the explicitness a couple of the love scenes between Jacob and Vic. Don't get me wrong, I do love the characters together (Jacob's utter show more fascination with Vic is kinda hot and creepy at the same time), but I guess I'm just not a huge fan of really explicit erotic scenes. Although, looking at it another way, I really think these scenes help to highlight the trust between Vic and Jacob which is also an important part of the series.

This is definitely a series I will be sticking with in the future and I'm really looking forward to reading more about Jacob, Vic and all the others. show less

This is the most fully realized PsyCop novel to date. The mystery was more interesting than before and the characters are now familiar and yet still compelling. I am really enjoying this series, and find Vic and his quirks fascinating. Vic is still the spun out medium who sees ghosts everywhere, though he is spinning less, as he eases off the medications and starts facing his past. Jacob is still a bit of a cipher because Vic is so down on himself, and all the books are told in the first person, from Vic's point of view, you can wonder what Jacob sees in him, but their passion is hot, and their relationship gets a firmer foundation by the end of the book. I sincerely hope this isn't the last we see of them because I could definitely show more spend more time in their world... show less

Camp Hell brings us to the "institution" where Vic was traumatised and experimented on as a young psychic along with others with paranormal powers. Victor is out to banish his inner demons as an outside group is keeping tabs on Vic's every move. Jacob and Vic's love is stretched as Vic is abducted by the secret group to be used and abused for his powers. Vic may be messed up and skinny but he's one powerful man especially with Jacob by his side. Definitely the best of the three books in my opinion and Vic's bruises from the hot sex leaves you wanting more.

“I'll be fast. I can make you come in two minutes."
"I can do that myself. I never get to see you anymore- I'd rather talk to you" That had to be the most romantic things anyone had ever said to me, and I went all gooshy inside.” 😋😋😂😂

4.5 stars for the story
5 stars for the Audio

I enjoyed Gomez’s narration, he brings these characters to life.

In this, book 5, Vic gets to confront his past with the help of his Empath Ex-boyfriend Stefan/Stephen, i loved knowing about his past, more about his talent and Jacob's weird kink of being turned on by Vic's Talent

“I’ve got more talent than everyone on their payroll put together,” I said. Jacob squeezed me tighter. His eyes never moved from mine. “I’m so far beyond level show more five it’s not even funny.”
“You have no idea what that does to me.”
I was fairly sure I did. But I still liked hearing him say it.

This book was longer than the previous ones, and I have to admit at some point I was losing track of the story, thank God that did not last long.

I loved

- All the creepy ghost stuff, exorcisms, and Camp Hell memories.

- The FPMP secrets coming to light and the paranoia.

- The traitor being revealed



- The writing was great as always and the humor on point.

- The romance was so great and had me all gooshy inside like Vic

Jacob kissed me until I thought we’d both pass out from lack of air, then he tore his mouth from mine and pressed his wet lips to my ear “I love you so much,” he whispered.



The Sex was kinky and filthy dirty.

He sighed as he buried his face in my ass. His tongue slithered into my hole. “Damn, that’s hot,” I said.

WARNING NSFW!!😉😉




Hot 🔥🔥🔥




- I even liked Crash.

Overall it was a great addition to the series. show less

Camp Hell is the best of the series up until book 5. The story has always had intense bedroom play between the main characters, but it was becoming overdone to where it was drowning out actual plot. In the fifth book, I'm happy to say the storyline takes more of a focus, returning to the mystery element and the involvement of different psy agencies and their double-crossing.

The story is longer and layered without a criminal case in sight this time. Instead Vic has to take some much needed personal introspection time trying to deal with some past demons that keep haunting him. There's a lot of paranoia when Vic discovers his life is more monitored and potentially controlled than he likes, so he has to decide who to trust once and for show more all. There is a betrayer in the midst that he didn't see, although I did guess...kind of obvious.

Crash is more prominent (he's fun), and Jacob is still a solid supporting character who brings spice to the psych pair. It was intriguing to see some of Vic's background and meeting someone he used to be involved with. That camp certainly sounds like a brutal and torturous place!

What sex was there was hot, of course, but there were also those sweet moments that makes the pairing completely swoon worthy. Their friends are fun and damaged additions themselves, which adds to the story. show less
