Asylum - Madeline Roux Review


Asylum (Asylum, #1)Asylum by Madeleine Roux

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Asylum is a young adult horror novel where we follow our protagonist, Daniel, a socially awkward, adopted teenager, who finds refuge in a prestigious summer program until he learns that his dorm was once a notorious asylum for the criminally insane. As he and his newfound friends explore the institution’s dark past, they uncover chilling secrets that begin to seep into their own lives.

I've seen a lot of popular poor reviews of this book and here's my two cents: this is a YA book. This is for people between the ages of 12-17 primarily. Of course the collegiate scenes don't make sense!!! Of course the writing is elementary!!! It is for teenagers!!!

This is a perfect buffer book to reset your brain between heavier books although it's more thriller than horror.
