- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Camp 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 … 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..

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This 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 spend more time in their world...

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In Camp Hell we get a much longer single story than most 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 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 in the future.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed the fifth installment in the Psy Cop series, even though it felt a little long in places. Unlike the previous stories, there is not just a criminal case to be solved. Vic is eager to find out more about his past in the psychic training facility known as Camp Hell and enlists the help of a therapist, who helps him recover his memories and also happens to be his ex-lover and fellow “inmate” in Camp Hell. He and Jacob also want to find out who is spying on them and why no records of Camp Heliotrope exist. The always-frisky Crash has a more significant role, as well as Vic’s new partner, Bob Zigler. The paranormal aspect in the story has been turned up a few notches, as Vic begins to use his abilities to their full potential. Even Jacob discovers hidden talents.
Vic’s and Jacob’s relationship continues to grow deeper and the sex is always hot and intense.1 person found this helpful

This series still has me hooked. I love Vic more and more. And what he said at the end about his abilities, I've been wondering if that was the case. I'm excited to find out how far he can go. I'm also loving learning his history. This is definitely one my favorite series.
