Whoa. This book. The way it...well, I can't tell you what to expect except to be left breathless. Ashwood is a carefully rendered and gorgeously executed YA Horror about the nature and origins of fear. And, you know, a haunted insane asylum. I can legitimately say that I loved this story from beginning to end. Willow is a fun character with a unique personality who most people will find easy to relate to. As she journeys through the nightmarish world of Ashwood's reality, the author does a great job of seamlessly blending Willow's reality with her nightmare world. This creates a frightening loss of stability--just like a good horror story should. The supporting characters, both her family and friends, and those she meets in Ashwood, are brought to life with strong, complex characterizations. This is an edge-of-your-seat read. Follow Willow down the rabbit hole - you won't regret it. CJ Malarsky is your next favorite YA author!
