    About this audiobook

    In the chilling second book in the New York Times bestselling Asylum series, three teens must return to the asylum that still haunts their dreams to end the nightmare once and for all. With the page-turning suspense and horror that made Asylum such a standout, and featuring found photographs from real vintage carnivals, Sanctum is a mind-bending reading experience that's perfect for fans of the smash hit Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

    Dan, Abby, and Jordan remain traumatized by the summer they shared in the Brookline asylum. Much as they'd love to move on, many questions remain, and someone is determined to keep the terror alive, sending the teens photos of an old-timey carnival, with no note and no name. Forsaking their plan never to go back, the teens return to New Hampshire College under the guise of a weekend for prospective students, and there they realize that the carnival from the photos is not only real, it's here on campus, apparently for the first time in many years.

    Sneaking away from sample classes and college parties, Dan and his friends lead a tour of their own—one through the abandoned houses and hidden places of a surrounding town. Camford is hiding a terrible past, and the truth behind Dan's connection to the asylum's evil warden is more terrifying than Dan ever imagined.

    Don't miss Madeleine Roux's all-new gothic horror novel, House of Furies.

      Abby and Dan 4ever. It was very good. Creepy too.
    • 3/5
      was not the sequel I was anticipating and it fell a little flat for me
    • 4/5
      A good YA read. I think it should categorized as horror/paranormal rather than fantasy.
    • 4/5
      I started this book off in high hopes that it would make up for the first book in the series was lacking. I truly do love horror novels, the mystery factor and books that keep me on the edge. I am giving this book 4 stars simply because I was intrigued enough throughout the entire book to keep reading until the end. However, I do feel that the entire premise of the book did seem very basic compared to what it was apparently building up to. I'm hoping that the remaining books in the series, will really pick up and give what they are promising!
    • 3/5
      Not as good as the first one, but still creepy. I know the characters are teenagers, but their silly banter became a little annoying after a while. It had a great ending though.
    • 5/5
      I liked this one.
    • 4/5
      A great sequel to Asylum this book was a quick easy read that had me reading quickly to figure out what the hell was happening. With its creepy pictures this makes for a nice spooky read.
    • 2/5
      I liked it and will read the next one. I thought it was kind of weak in explanations.
    • 2/5
      As in the first installment, there were no real surprises in this part of the series either, but the narrator's voice is still good and the book flows well enough





      ****SPOILER*******





      and that is a good thing, in the end, since it looks like there will at least be a third installment
    • 4/5
      even better than asylum. still love the pictures - I look forward to them every time
    • 4/5
      I thought this book was a solid sequel to the first. I liked Asylum better, but this was still really good and kept me interested. I liked the characters, I liked the story line, the creepy photos were awesome. I can't wait to read Catacomb now to see where this story goes! I would recommend this book. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
    • 4/5
      Dan, Abby & Jordan are back at NHCP following clues that Felix gave them, coordinates, all near the college. The college is having a special weekend event for anyone interested in attending. The perfect reason for them to be there and to hide their real motives. Meanwhile, is Felix helping them or sending them into a trap?

      This book did not disappoint. It was as thrilling and creepy as the first one. If you liked Asylum, you will enjoy this book as well.
    • 3/5
      I wish I could give half-stars because I'm really on the fence between rating this book with 3 or 4 stars. I liked it, but thought it was less successful than "Asylum" was.
    • 4/5
      Wanting another scary read for this Halloween, I thought a take a dive back in the asylum.Plot: This story still follows Dan and his crazy past or rather his relatives. This time it circus time. With more crazy people telling Daniel things and Daniel following his past, things get crazier and crazier.Circus: This time Daniel is being stalked with old creepy circus photos. There were a few that made the hairs raise on my arm. Seriously creepy. I like how well the plot tied into the circus and the experiment that Daniel was doing in the past. We learn more about why he is doing it and for what purpose.Ending: The ending ends still creepy and leaving room for more. I would’t mind reading more into what Dan is becoming. It seems that the further I got into the book, the less Dan became Dan and was becoming Daniel. I’m curious to know what is going through his head.This is a great story for this time of month. A good creepy read and a fun plot to follow, the reader is entertained plenty. Sanctum is awesome.
