Sanctum Audiobook Summary

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.

The first book in this series is good but this one is heaps better! Twice as scary (although still not really scary at all) and just fast-paced enough to keep you constantly turning the pages to find out what happens next. Normally I enjoy my horror books with a little more horror but this was beautifully creepy and kept me intrigued the whole way through. And I had forgotten how much of a cliffhanger it ends on! Well not really a cliffhanger but it leaves room for more and has me itching to pick up the third book!

Este libro fue tan entretenido como el primero, un poco menos escalofriante porque todo comienza a tener un matiz más "real" pero lo disfrute igualmente.Reseña completa en Gracias a los libros.

Ohhh I'm so happy to say that this sequel didn't have the "sequel curse" on it. It was just as good as the first.Let's go back to the first book really quick....Asylum is where we first meet Dan Crawford, Abby and Jordan. 3 unlikely teens to meet and become fast friends. Dan a History buff, particularly interested in psychiatry. Abby the artist and Jordan the math genius. They all meet in New Hampshire over the summer for a college prep summer course. They quickly find out bad things happen at this old asylum. People start getting hurt. They find weird stuff in the old warden's office and basement. They also find out that illegal experimentation has been going on in the bowels of the asylum. Horrible experiments.Now lets fast-forward months later. Dan and friends are having daily nightmares of there stay at the asylum. They are hearing things, feeling things that aren't real. One day Dan gets a letter from his old roomie's mom. Dan goes to meet Felix at the hospital and Felix gives him information leading to a "treasure hunt". Dan lets his friends know and off they go on a secret mission back to where it all began. They think if they follow the clues Felix have left them then maybe they'll be able to sleep at night. Maybe the nightmares will go away. What they find out is even more mysterious.I have to say...I was somewhat disappointed in the first 50 or so pages. I thought it was moving too slowly. When does the mystery happen? But once the snowball started it didn't stop. The mystery was super creepy, totally awesome and I can't believe for once I actually kind of figured out the ending. Kind of. Speaking of endings...this is not a duology. There will be more books in this series. A 3rd book should be coming out next year 2015 along with another novella. So excited I bought these books :DP.S. The ending, not a cliff hanger per say, but it definitely keeps you thinking about the future and the possibilities :DHappy Reading!!

THIS BOOK BLEW MY MIND!!

Could not put these two books down. This one definitely creeped me out more than the first. It was fast paced and the three main characters are loveable! I did think the circus would play a bigger roll in the book and have more of a mystery to it but I found it to be simple and almost unnecessary. There were still more unanswered questions and holes but other than that I enjoyed myself. The idea of a cult terrified me and although I saw it coming im glad one character pulled thru so to speak. Great book can't wait for the next

4/5 "You see things you shouldn't be able to see. You know things you shouldn't be able to know." The first one was slightly better than this one, especially with the photos.I enjoyed this book a lot either way but that touch of creepiness that the pics should add, was kinda lost in the sequel.In fact I found the pics a little too disconnected sometimes...The adventure of our trio Dan, Abby and Jordan continues, with new people and a new mystery!It's not scary at all if you're wondering BUT if you like the genre I think you'll probably like it!There's a mix of everything, but is all well detailed and easy to understand, the plot is not complicated and the mystery is easy to follow.This is another case of book that is pretty hard to put down thanks to the short chapters where you want to read more and more to discover what the heck is happening and how the story evolves.(view spoiler)[Smart idea to put the secret society and add that plot twist toward the end, I liked that! (hide spoiler)]We have a lot more details about the past and finally it's possible to put more pieces together.Like the first book, it could end like that, no sequel needed, but we know that there's still one book missing and I'm curious to read one more adventure, hoping the photos will make everything look creepy again like they did in the first one!

I should have given this 4 stars because it scared me enough to make me want to sleep at my parents since my husband and kids were at the deer lease for the weekend lolWow, this is the second one in the series. And because I wasn’t expecting it to be all that great I didn’t bother reading the first one since I didn’t have it. But believe me I went bought the first and third one today. I’ll read the whole series. Perfect creepy book for October.I thought this was going to be like paranormal, and I’m glad it wasn’t, but it ended up being something crazy evil and believable. If you like lobotomy stuff, this book is for you! Just WOW!! But now I’m going to pray for the lord to give me peace and sweet dreams. -12:01 am, from mom and dads guest room as a 28 year old adult/woman/wife/mother lol****EDIT TO ADD THIS****I was so paranoid all night after I finished it I barely slept. And my mom DID scare me when she snuck in my room asking if I want breakfast lol! Parameters for reading the next two books: only read during the day, and not before bed if I’m at the scary parts lol

”Since whatever we’re about to do will probably get us killed, I want to go on record now saying I was right about the boat shoes,” Jordan whispered.Jordan’s my favorite. He had me laughing throughout this book. Now, I have to admit I read the first book a long time ago and I wish I would have reread it before reading this one. I was confused almost the entire time. I usually don’t like when authors repeat EVERYTHING that happened in the previous story, but I wouldn’t have minded a bit more hints. I couldn’t even remember what Dan looked like and I wasn’t reminded either. At least I knew what Abby and Jordan looked like.A plus, were the pictures. Quite a few of them gave me the creeps. Thankfully, toward the end it did get more interesting and intense, but I do wish there would have been more time spent in the creepy houses!!

This book was so out there. But it was so good. So as not to spoil anything, I like how they wrapped up the whole possession thing from the first book. I know it's supposed to be a creepy ghost story but I didn't really like the whole possession thing. I loved how eerie this book was! It was the perfect read for Halloween night. A group of kids actually scared the crap out of me because I was reading a creepy part and all of a sudden they were shouting trick-or-treat through the door! All in all, a very solid book.

** spoiler alert ** 70% del libro se siente lento, y todo lo emocionante comienza al final.Se resuelven muchas dudas que quedaron del primer libro. No deja un final abierto como en Asylum, pero sí hay cosas sin resolver como para leer la saga completa.

This was a fun, creepy, and quick read. Sanctum is the second novel in a YA series called Asylum, it follows a group of friends who seek to uncover dark secrets from the past. Each of the novels in this series contain eerie pictures to help carry the plot along. I particularly love books that have this format because I'm a very visual person. I'm excited to read the third one, but will be waiting until October/Halloween time because this book series is perfect for that.

I really loved this book the photos inside the book really set the tone very well so this book had a really creepy atmosphere to it. I liked the the characters even more in this book especially Dan,Abby and Jordan they were really well written characters that were well thought out. I really liked Dan's struggles and how he deals with all of the things happening to him and how he feels he just has to find out more I found the character to be really interesting to read about. I really loved the plot of this book I like that is started where the first one left off then went to a new mystery and creepy tale to tell and all of the interesting things that happened during that story I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. So overall I loved this book will be finishing this series soon.
