Instead of picking up where Insanity left off, White Walls takes us back to 1954. That in itself was a bit of a shock, because it means there’s been 4 years between whatever happened and Adelaide’s current stint at the institution. But once again, it alternates between two times. The “before” is what happened before she was institutionalized and her first time at Oakill. The “after” is what happened before the first book. Make sense? Basically, this is kind of a prequel, but it makes more sense as a sequel since we’re filling in the holes of Adelaide’s memory.

White Walls wasn’t as good as the first book. It’s missing that feeling of not knowing what the heck is going on. We see Adelaide before her psychotic break, and immediately after. We learn the truth about Damien, and thus we know what is real and what isn’t. From there it’s just a matter of waiting to see what got Adelaide sent back to the institution and why she can’t remember anything. There’s also her strange relationship with Dr. Watson. I was less invested in the latter.

I still enjoyed White Walls. I read it through in an afternoon, and once again, immediately purchased the next book. This one ends in a kind of odd place. I expected it to end with something big happening to Adelaide, but it just ends. I suppose that did compel me to want to continue, since I have to know what happened! And what’s going to happen after!
