Asylum (Asylum, #1)

by Madeleine Roux

[Beth C.]

What do you get when you have a bunch of teenagers living in an old asylum where a serial killer disappeared and the head was no angel himself? Death and destruction and utter chaos. Such is the world that Dan Crawford is thrust into when he decides to take a program for gifted students at the New Hampshire College Prep Program.

I was initially drawn to Asylum because the story line sounded interesting, and the idea of the photos bearing that out was even better. Sadly, I was less than impressed with the story. It was...ok...but it doesn't bode well when it turns out I have figured out a large portion of the mystery half way through the book. The ending promises further books, but I can't say that I would be interested enough in actually keeping up with any more. If I did, I would definitely get it from the library rather than taking up valuable book shelf space.
