Sanctum by Madeleine Roux

 


This is the second book in the Asylum series. Dan, Jorden and Abby are dealing with nightmares after coming back from their summer at Brookline. Dan got a letter from Felix's mom asking if he'd be willing to come and see her son. Something about him wanting to speak with Dan, did bother him after Felix trying to kill him. So, after telling his friends, he goes. Felix's mom comes and gets him. 

The long drive gets him thinking about the past and wondering what is really going on. When they arrive, Felix has been waiting patiently. Felix was mumbling and saying things about, follow them and other things that didn't make any since. He was also given a piece of paper with numbers on it. This wasn't making any since then, the thought came to Dan about the college. Oh hell, he thought. They are going to have to go back the where they didn't want to go. He knew his friends weren't going to be happy.

All three of them had to lie about where they were going or their parents wouldn't let them. They all have been having problems sleeping and having bad dreams. Their hope is that going back will help. 

Once they all arrive at the school, they meet a few of the people that will be guiding them to different places to check out. Mostly what Dan wanted to do was figure out what those numbers were and then, figure out what's going on with them. Jorden has always been smartest of the three of them and Dan knew he would figure it out. 

They were led into the area where they were going to eat lunch and something about this kid not far from them, was making Dan feel funny. Then, that kid started to say his full name, over and over again. Jorden was going through his phone and found out what the numbers meant. They were address's. They were going to have to find them and check out each one. But, they needed to figure out how to do it without getting noticed. They were being watched. 

They get away finally. Find the house and break into it. They go threw as much as they can. On the first floor they notice that someone is looking into the window wearing a red cap and hood, with a mask. Jorden notices that the shoes look like this kids, Cal's. They take off out of the house and back to the school. 

Later that night their in the library. Jorden was looking up things on the computer and found things about secret societies. It didn't make them feel good, then the computers shut down. That wasn't good and maybe someone wasn't wanting them to find out anything. 

Professor Reyes, is teaching a class in the Asylum. Dan's not sure what to make of her. 

In the long run things all come to the head. It may be a big mystery but, you'll have to read the book to find out if it get solved. Many thing are said and found out. It holds your attention. A real page turner. 

Well, now I'm off to start another book. Don't forget to enjoy a good book. It may change your life.
