In this asylum, your mind plays tricks 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.

Katie Alender really has a way of describing emotion. I really felt the grief and pain from the characters. At one point I had to shut the book and put it down because I felt so sorry for Delia's family. The end brought tears to my eyes. A fantastic read!
