sanctum - madeleine roux review

Sanctum by Madeleine Roux

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


madeleine roux's mystery gang continue to stir shit up in this second volume of the asylum series proving the famous proverb of my heart, "if they shenaned once, they shen again."

dan, abby, and jordan return to brookline after dan is accosted by felix's mother, asking dan to visit felix
spoilers for asylum, the first book of the series, under the following cut (( (view spoiler) )

. when dan visits felix in the mental hospital, felix gives dan a list of coordinates and implores him very psychotically to look into it. dan informs his scooby gang of his conversation with felix, and off they go to another completely unrealistic college tour event that has probably never once happened or existed in the real world, #InvestigatingTheCoordinatesAMentalHospitalPatientGaveThem!

once again, we have a problem of university Not Working Like That, reducing my enjoyment of a book within the asylum series. i don't know why we feel like we have to make up things that happen in college, just because you know that your reader base probably doesn't have enough knowledge on the topic to know better.

however, i found the plot points beyond the setting to be very interesting and it drew me in very well, and it held onto me, which is always a plus.
