The cover was spot on giving the reader the feeling that creepy secrets mixed with a hint of madness wait within. I think like many readers the cover draws me in and makes me want to read. The cover of Asylum, however, gave me an excited tingling in my brain that shouted read it, read it, read it.I will be honest; I am forever in search of a good scare. I rarely, if ever. Find it. As my friends and family would say, I am beyond hard to scare. That aside, I can truly understand what scares other people and I know many that would be unable to finish this book on creepy factor alone. If you like tales of places like Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Waverly Hill Sanatorium, or Danvers Lunatic Asylum this read will be right up your alley. What Madeleine Roux captured in the pages of this book was pure and creepy gold.Daniel Crawford is insanely smart (pun intended) and a little weird so his acceptance into New Hampshire College Prep program or NHCP was no surprise. As he pulls up to the college his instincts all but bash him over the head telling him to turn tail and get as far from his new dorm as possible. The college was housing the summer program students in what used to be Brookline an old asylum that Dan would soon learn was more than just an ominous looking building.Dan’s past experiences being the smart kid did not make him confident in the making friends area, but when a pretty girl wants to be your friend you’d be stupid to refuse. The connection between Abby her friend Jordan and Dan happens quickly and while something seems to pull them together, none of them are very forthcoming with information about experiences each of them began to have within the old psychiatric hospital’s walls.Drawn to a picture left in the drawer of his dorm room desk, Dan is nudged by his roommate Felix to explore the off-limits offices that he found open upon his own arrival. Against all his good boy, boring, academic ways Dan tempts his new friends into exploring with him. Dan and Abby are pulled in by the clues they find to Brookline’s dark past but Jordan, not wanting trouble or to be the real life embodiment of a horror flick, would rather leave well enough alone. What ensues are the scary possibilities of Dan’s and Abby’s connections to Brookline itself and the few weeks within its walls that may drive the three friends to insanity.Roux drew from a dark time in history when the monsters in the world were sadly the ones that were in charge of healing and helping. She created Brookline, a place like the famous House of Usher, that almost takes on its own scary living, breathing personality. If you like well written, creepy stories Madeleine Roux is your storyteller! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chilling look at madness *by I***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2013* I found the tale spooky and written well enough to capture and hold my attention. Characters are lightly dusted, with just enough information to tell me who they are or at least as much as I want to know. I didn't feel that it needed a heavy hand in the romance area, since this was a summer school, which usually deveolps fast freindships but not always lasting. Roux did a good job of describing the area of the sanitorium that was off limits and I enjoyed the added illustrations. This is a book that I would be comforable handing to middle schoolers.Not all books for older teens require hot sex scenes or blood, guts and gore. This is an easy to follow tale with some twists. I enjoyed the ending as well as the fact that not all problems were solved. This is a book that readers can use their imagination to fill in any gaps they feel are left open.And yes, I have been to Waveryly Hills in Louisville Kentucky on a very dark stormy night.Research, insanity, or possession can we ever be certain?Dan Crawford is a foster kid who finally got lucky and found adoptive parents who have helped him settle into a life of relative normalcy. His zeal for academic studies has landed him a coveted spot in a college prep program in New Hampshire over the summer. As the taxi pulls up to NHCP campus, Dan gets his first look at the old sanatorium, where he and the other students will be housed because of a current renovation. Brookline though no longer an asylum still holds chills and hides secrets that will plague its temporary residents. Curious about a photo he discovers in his desk, Dan and his new friends Abby and Jordan find their way into a locked, deserted area of the old sanatorium. What they unearth there are hidden passages, dusty records of experiments, torture, death and madness, and not just the inmates, horrors that took place at Brookline more than forty years ago. In their search the teens have stirred up more than dust and old secrets, they have awakened the long dead. Disturbing notes, phone texts and photos that mysteriously appear and then disappear turn up, than the murderous attacks begin...Asylum, by Madeleine Roux, has the same chilling feel as a stroll through Waverly Hills on a dark stormy night. Suspense, horror, madness, death and ghostly presence are laced throughout the story with photos of actual rooms from long forgotten discarded asylums. In a short time we meet and get to know some of the residents, both past and present, learn about the horrors of the past that still affect the present and discover that "Madness in great ones must not unwatched go." All wrapped up with an ending that would do justice to Hitchcock himself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book! *by A***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023* Really enjoy this cliff hanger!
