Asylum

By: Madeleine Roux

Narrated by: Michael Goldstrom

Madeleine Roux's New York Times bestselling Asylum is a thrilling and creepy novel that Publishers Weekly called ""a strong YA debut that reveals the enduring impact of buried trauma on a place.""

For sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, the New Hampshire College Prep program is the chance of a lifetime. Except that when Dan arrives, he finds that the usual summer housing has been closed, forcing students to stay in the crumbling Brookline Dorm. The dorm was formerly a sanatorium, more commonly known as an asylum. And not just any asylum—a last resort for the criminally insane.

As Dan and his new friends Abby and Jordan start exploring Brookline's twisty halls and hidden basement, they uncover disturbing secrets about what really went on at Brookline . . . secrets that link Dan and his friends to the asylum's dark past. Because Brookline was no ordinary asylum, and there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Flled with chilling mystery and suspense, Asylum is a horror story that treads the line between genius and insanity, perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

I really enjoyed the idea of this book. But I feel it needed to be a bit more developed personally. This book is perfect for younger thrill seekers.

Overall a good book

Overall I enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow for me , but the ending was very intense and interesting and definitely kept my attention! I would recommend this book.

Great story telling

I drive a lot at night and some of the places I go to are kind of spooky so hearing this story in the background really gets me looking over my shoulder

Amazing.

I loved it but there was times when it got a bit confusing . Other than that it was a great story, i will definitely be buying the next book.

amazing

Hard to get into

This book was a little hard to get into. I tried several times to read it but this time I pushed myself to finish it. Once I got into it, I really enjoyed it. I already downloaded the second book in the series.

Dan is an idiot

Excluding the protagonist, having major, main character delusions, quite a thrilling story that was fun to come back to. A bit jarring at moments, but I'm sure that's intended.

wow

talk about a amazing way to tell a story i got lost in this book
