Story
Fresh from their expedition into Rainier Asylum, librarians Sadie and August attempt to dig further into the past, uncovering hideous truths related to the noxious cult. Their research into the diabolical sect dredges up more questions than answers, however - especially where Sadie's own history is concerned. She finds herself wondering just how much of what she's been told about her origins is true, and is assailed by doubts about her upbringing.

Story
College professor Stephen Barlow needs cash. Badly. He puts his skepticism aside and signs on to a paranormal research organization in the hopes of scoring a fat bonus. Enter Chaythe Asylum: a long-shuttered and controversial institution where patients were allegedly subjected to unethical experiments. Stephen deems the old building, closed in 1989 after a series of grisly murders, as good a place as any to explore the possibility of the supernatural, and arranges to take a tour with his students. But it turns out that the asylum is not as abandoned as it seems. There is something sinister in the building.

Story
There's something wrong with Ashburn House. The ancient building has been the subject of rumours for close to a century. Its owner, Edith, refused to let guests inside and rarely visited the nearby town. Following Edith's death, her sole surviving relative, Adrienne, inherits the property. Adrienne's only possessions are a suitcase of luggage, 20 dollars, and her pet cat. Ashburn House is a lifeline she can't afford to refuse. Adrienne doesn't believe in ghosts, but it's hard to ignore the unease that grows as she explores her new home.

Publisher's Summary
Having explored the shadowed ruin of Beacon Hill, Sadie and August are drawn deeper into a dark and winding history. It was at the infamous Rainier Asylum that local horrors were first conjured, and compelled by a mix of duty and guilt, the librarians begin to look into the institution's sordid past.
For years, locals have reported seeing something hideous stalking about the abandoned asylum - something with large eyes and twisted limbs. When a young farmhand meets this diabolical presence face to face and disappears, Sadie and August decide to visit the site to search for him, certain that his disappearance is linked to their investigation.
There, they find the nighted corners of the shuttered institution are astir with many terrible apparitions. The things that walk the halls of Rainier Asylum are horrific beyond imagining, and as she descends into the depths of the forsaken building, Sadie stumbles upon something most unexpected - something that connects her to the very horrors she seeks to overcome.

Interesting and spooky. Enjoyed the characters.
This was an interesting story and the first by this author for me. I love ghost tales, and the things that Sadie experienced gave me chills at times. I loved how she was willing to accept what she saw and felt, and still had the nerve to move on. She did get scared also, making her a more believable character. She had a wonderful supporter in August. I would like to read the first in the series, though it is not necessary to do so before listening to this. Melissa Moran did a wonderful job with the narration of this audiobook, properly scared, spooky, and real.
I received a copy of this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

Way better as I went into the book further
So, I was way not a fan early on - everyone seemed so STUPID... I put down the book - but wanted to find out what happened! Ultimately I did finish it and it turned out to be a great book. I think I'll try and read it again - trying not to be frustrated with it.... LOL Good story

I have it a shot
The first book in this series, Haunting of Beacon Hill, was a better story than this one. Unfortunately, they’re both somewhat ruined by the narrator. Not only is she nasally, and she places her tongue incorrectly when saying certain letters (especially “st” combos), but she tends to end every chapter with an upward inflection as if the sentence isn’t complete. Very annoying. This series isn’t worth continuing with, though every other book by Mr. Ibsen I have loved! (Just stick with Mr. Hempel !)

could have been so much better
have you ever seen a movie where the author takes months away just to write a book and ends up writing it on the plane ride home? yeah that's what I feel like Ambrose did for this book, it was just a last minute hurry and write it.
I feel like this is the worst book Ambrose has ever written. Hopefully book 3 will be better.
