Publisher's summary

Once you get in, there's no getting out.

For 16-year-old Dan Crawford, a summer program for gifted students is the chance of a lifetime. No one else at his high school gets his weird fascinations with history and science, but at the New Hampshire College Prep program, such quirks are all but required.

Dan arrives to find that the usual summer housing has been closed, forcing students to stay in the crumbling Brookline dorm - formerly a psychiatric hospital. 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 here - secrets that link Dan and his friends to the asylum's dark past. Because it turns out Brookline was no ordinary psych ward. And there are some secrets that refuse to stay buried.

This mind-bending listening experience blurs the lines between past and present, friendship and obsession, genius and insanity.

Idea

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.

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

A little slow

Any additional comments?

This wasn't "super scary" like I had read. It was very well written but a little slow and not super original.

Not bad, not my Favorite

This was a quick listen. While it's more in the young adult mystery/thriller realm, I actually think it would be a great delve into the genre for middle grade readers as well! I may have enjoyed the story better reading it myself than listening. the narrorator was not my favorite and the attempts at differing voices (especially womens...) was quite amateur and just not good. It made the characters seem much more juvenile than they're supposed to be. Great commute read or something between more intense books!

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.
