Review

This visually appealing supernatural thriller finds Dan, Abby, and Jordan returning to New Hampshire College and the old Brookline Asylum where they stayed the previous summer while attending a pre-college program. They are drawn back to campus after receiving mysterious old-time carnival photographs from one of their summer classmates. Sanctum stands alone but readers will enjoy it more having first read Asylum. Roux includes what she calls "photo illustrations" - some created for the book, some based on archival photographs.

Overall Book Score: very good
