Publisher's summary

Having explored the shadowed ruin of Beacon Hill, Sadie and August are drawn deeper into a dark and winding history. It was at the infamous Rainier Asylum that local horrors were first conjured, and compelled by a mix of duty and guilt, the librarians begin to look into the institution's sordid past.

For years, locals have reported seeing something hideous stalking about the abandoned asylum - something with large eyes and twisted limbs. When a young farmhand meets this diabolical presence face to face and disappears, Sadie and August decide to visit the site to search for him, certain that his disappearance is linked to their investigation.

There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions. The things that walk the halls of Rainier Asylum are horrific beyond imagining, and as she descends into the depths of the forsaken building, Sadie stumbles upon something most unexpected - something that connects her to the very horrors she seeks to overcome.

good book

this book was awesome but leaves you in Wonder of what in the world is going on. I can't wait to get the next book so I can find out what's going on.

Boring!

Not much of a plot - just running around a haunted asylum bumping into nasty things.

Great 2nd book

Absolutely enjoyed this one even more than the first one. Narrator does a great job!!

Hmm. I hate to give a bad review, but I didn't lik

I struggled to get through this one. I was so bored that my mind would wonder, and later I would have to go back several chapters to try to pay attention enough to listen again. this happened constantly with this one. I kept getting lost, the story wouldn't make sense, so I'd have to try again. it took 5 days to get through this one enough to be able to say that I know what the story was.

couldn't turn it off!

Amazing story, like the one before it, grabs you and won't let you go! MUST LISTEN!

WOW!

this was another good book, good to read on a dark and stormy night. the narrator did a great job.

I really enjoyed this series

I initially downloaded this read as a rec by audible while looking for some lighter supernatural horror/suspense and listened to it over the course of a road trip.

I have read 5 star horror books (IT) but I'm also a big fan of lighter stuff, and while this story contains darker elements like the occult and gruesome death, it somehow reads lighter overall.

These are also quick reads and not the time spanning detailed novels like the aforementioned 5 star book, but I really enjoyed the story overall and so downloaded the other 2 books in the series. The main character of this book had a couple moments but overall was not super whiny or annoying as seems to be the trend lately.

Interesting story

This was a different storyline from my previous reads. I enjoyed the characters and the unique plot.

Great

This was great the imagery was amazing. I was done with the book before I realized it.

Interesting and spooky. Enjoyed the characters.

This was an interesting story and the first by this author for me. I love ghost tales, and the things that Sadie experienced gave me chills at times. I loved how she was willing to accept what she saw and felt, and still had the nerve to move on. She did get scared also, making her a more believable character. She had a wonderful supporter in August. I would like to read the first in the series, though it is not necessary to do so before listening to this. Melissa Moran did a wonderful job with the narration of this audiobook, properly scared, spooky, and real.

I received a copy of this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
