pickFollowing the events of their previous summer at New Hampshire College & the towering presence of Brookline asylum, Dan, Abby, & Jordan have remained in touch but can't seem to move on. Dan is persuaded into going to see Felix, another summer school student who has been institutionalised ever since, by Felix's mother & he tells Dan that he has to return to Brookline & gives him the co-ordinates for three addresses there.
‘Once you get in, there‘s no getting out.
Because it turns out Brookline was no ordinary psych ward. And there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.‘
This is a good, quick read. Teens in a college prep program get caught up in a mystery involving the asylum‘s dark past.

so-so3✨ As most seconds books, I didn‘t like this as much as the first one. It still was pretty creepy involving a hypnotist causing the campers to do horror things. It ended on a sadish note too. 😭 #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
so-soThis isn‘t a time period I read about frequently. The Author read the book The Woman They Could Not Silence and was inspired to use it as a jumping off point in her Christian fiction story set on the Oregon Trail.

‘A brief cultural history of crying while reading‘ by Janet Manley - on LitHub: https://lithub.com/a-brief-cultural-history-of-crying-while-reading/
so-soI had a hard time deciding if this book was a So-So or a Pick. I loved the story concept but at the same time I struggled with keeping all the characters straight in the storyline. I wish the story was more focused. It was also slow in some parts.
so-soI found this book just ok. It was disjointed and hard to follow at times. The alluding to a labia relationship was distracting and felt like it was added as an afterthought.

A fantastic sequel to Asylum!👏🏻 We get a little more background information on the Warden this time, and it‘s just as creepy😂
Catacomb here I come!💀👌🏼
