"To cure fear, you must use fear."Rose Briar claims no responsibility for the act that led to her imprisonment in an asylum. She wants to escape, until terrifying nightmares make her question her sanity and reach out to her doctor. He's understanding and caring in ways her parents never have been, but as her walls tumble down and Rose admits fault, a fellow patient warns her to stop the medications. Phillip believes the doctor is evil and they'll never make it out of the facility alive. Trusting him might be just the thing to save her. Or it might prove the asylum is exactly where she needs to be.

This
book was one I have been anticipating for a while. I received a digital ARC for review but I
also had this book on pre-order for a while so since it came out Tuesday the 16th
I’ve had my own copy and I feel I need it in physical form to hold in my hands
and add to my shelf! Described as Sleeping
Beauty meets Freddy Kruger, I was so in.
Also things involving mental asylums or institutions just fascinate me
because of the history and just how easy it seems it could be for someone there
to be put there and labeled crazy when they are sane. You hear old stories about it being a place
to just get rid of people and it seems perfect because who believes a ‘crazy
person’ saying they aren’t crazy. Super
creepy and horrifying. Asleep definitely
delivered on the creepy and terrifying aspect of the story. It balanced the line of doubt throughout the
book so beautifully and had me on the edge of my seat. I read the book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down because I had to know
what would happen next.
Asleep
manages to pack an amazing and thrilling story with real issues of family
dynamics, mental illness and physical/psychological abuse. Rose is really put through the ringer and you
instantly feel connected to her. I know
I was caught back and forth questioning things I was reading. One minute I was sure of my answer the next I
was somewhat unsure. It flows so wonderfully
sometimes I didn’t even realize I was questioning what was real or not. Watching as Rose and Phillip struggle through
the ordeal and try to differentiate truth from illness was so darn good. I could go on for days about it but I don’t
want to give much away because that would spoil all the fun. So go
pick up your copy and give it a read and then we can discuss all the goodness
in detail!
