The Reviews are coming in for ASYLUM. Here is a recent one.
This book properly belongs in the horror section. Humans are the biggest monsters of all, and Asylum is full of them. There is an intensity to this story, and I did have some disturbing dreams after my second late-night reading session. The descriptions of the various parts of the old asylum left me with the need to take a shower. I thought that the story flowed nicely, carrying you right along with it. A quick read, but not an easy one-- Tamera Lawrence's characters are far too real. Rose Hill isn't real, but it is based on reality. Even without a traditional serial killer thrown in the mix, what happened in places such as these is the stuff of nightmares. That's another thing that Tamera Lawrence accomplished with Asylum: while this isn't quite a book about social justice, she make me think about these issues.
