About this ebook
IN THIS ASYLUM, YOUR MIND PLAYS TRICK ON YOU ALL THE TIME ...Delia's new house isn't just a house. Long ago, it was the Piven Institute for the Care and Correction of Troubled Females -- an insane asylum nicknamed "Hysteria Hall." However, many of the inmates were not insane, just defiant and strong willed. Kind of like Delia herself.But the house still wants to keep "troubled" girls locked away. So, in the most horrifying way, Delia becomes trapped. And that's when she learns that the house is also haunted.Ghost girls wander the hallways in their old-fashioned nightgowns. A handsome ghost boy named Theo roams the grounds. Delia learns that all the spirits are unsettled and full of dark secrets. The house, too, harbors shocking truths within its walls -- truths that only Delia can uncover, and that may set her free. And she'll need to act quickly -- before the house's power overtakes everything she loves.Katie Alender brings heart-pounding suspense, gorgeous writing, and a feminist twist to this tale of memories and madness.

This was one of the best books I have ever read! I've read over 2000 books so that's saying a thing or two. Has one of the biggest plot twists. Everything uncovers itself slowly. So it gives this book a feeling of suspense. I love it. If you're doubting this book don't. It is a really good book. I was so sad when it ended. I love the last three words. It chills you to the bone. 😍

It was a good read. It ended really crappy though, Hope that it is a story that is continued in more books. Left you not knowing how things happened. Wish there was a better ending to this story.What was in the letter, did her sister and mother get out alive, etc.......

It was a great book and y ' all should totally read it !!! Ps I've read all of her books and they are all amazing !!!! And I'm only in junior high .
