Sara Featherstone is a loser. At twenty she is still indentured to her parents, her best friend is a closet clairvoyant, and her long-time boyfriend has just dumped her and refuses to tell her why. Five years ago her world ended with her brother, Tommy, running his motorcycle into a tree, and the life she might have lived had never started. Catapulted into the dark streets after a "visitation" from Tommy, Sara has no idea that all that wasted time is about to catch up with her. A chance encounter with a man wielding a knife sets in motion a chain of events so bizarre that Sara will soon question everything she has ever believed. From her boyfriend's fidelity to her best friend's innocence to what her brother knew about a missing classmate, irony is about to make Sara its bitch, and the next twelve hours could be her last.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a Crazy Night at the Asylum!!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2013

    This book wasn't anything what I had expected! I had heard from a couple other people that it was very good so I decided to move it up on my TBR list and read it. Jades writing is amazing! I was sucked in and completely lost track of time and the world around me!

    When I started it I thought I was being sucked into a bad dream, but soon enough things started falling into place. Sara had lost her brother, Tommy, in a motorcycle accident five years before. She was having a very hard time dealing with his death; even after so long. The nightmares were getting worse and more intense. In her dreams her brother, Tommy, always wanted to play games and when she didn't want to he would threaten to leave. After waking up one night from a particularly bad dream, she decided to go for a walk to get a soda.....the next thing I knew I was finished with the book and it was 4:00 in the morning! I cannot go into anymore detail lest I ruin it for other readers. Especially the end, amazing! You just have to pick it up and read it for yourself! Don't wait!

    4.0 out of 5 stars exciting!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2013
    This is going to sound weird, but I was meant to read this book. I received a free copy of this book for review purposes, which in no way affects my opinion of this book. I have a list of books that I have promised to review. I generally keep to the order for the most part. For some reason, I picked this book up even though it wasn't next. Here is why it is weird: The day before I picked up this book, I had just read a book on Astral Projection. The quote on the very first page of this book, even before the acknowledgements, it says:

    "I wish that death would bring one long and dreamless sleep. But alas, my experiences have proved conclusively to me that-'dust thou art and to dust thou returneth'- was not written of the Soul."

    -From The Projection of the Astral Body, by Sylvan Muldoon and Hereward Carrington".

    This was so weird to me because I've never read a book that has anything to do with astral projection until the previous book. I consulted a few people, and they all told me if I didn't read it right away I would upset the balance of the universe and probably cause the apocalypse. Never fear, I had you all in mind, so if the apocalypse does come, it's not my fault and I refuse to take any responsibility for it!

    This book itself is sort of weird, but in a good way. There is all kinds of crazy things going on and you really want to pay attention.

    Sara Feathersone is a normal girl. Her brother Tommy died a few years earlier in a motorcycle accident, but life goes on. Her boyfriend broke up with her recently, which sucks, but she'll get over it. One night after sneaking out of the house, she gets into a bad situation. She is arrested for a crime she didn't commit. That's when we find out there is more going on in this town than Sara ever knew. The police force in her town is corrupt with crazy people. Secrets are everywhere, and the only person Sara can trust is Jamie, her friend with the religious freak for a mom.

    Sara has weird dreams about her brother. It seems like he is trying to tell her something but she has no idea what. Then she starts dreaming about a girl from her town who went missing not long before her brother died. She's trying to figure out how the dreams are connected but it seems like everything is just out of her grasp of understanding. What is going on in this town? Will Sara figure out what her dreams mean? Maybe bwahahaha (insert evil laugh here)

    This book is well written, the characters are adequately developed, and the world building is pretty good. I enjoyed this book and the story without a doubt. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and wondering what will happen next, to whom, and what this will mean for that person. You are constantly kept guessing, and I loved that aspect of the book.

    This book really is action packed. Jade McCahon's writing style is awesome. She has a way of building her characters so you know enough to love them (or hate them), but still want to know more about them. I would like to know more about Emmett or Cole. Jamie was a total surprise for me.

    The one thing I can say I didn't like was how much time WASN'T spent in or at the Asylum. From the title, I got the impression that the majority of the story would take place during a NIGHT at the ASYLUM, when in fact, they are only there for a short time at night, and for a bit of time during the day. It doesn't take away from the story or the writing, but it was something of a disappointment.

    In the end it wasn't a huge surprise to find out who the "bad guy" was, but in my opinion, that isn't what the "climax" was about. There were so many aspects to the climax that the revelation of the bad guy wasn't the point anyway.

    I think people of almost any age can enjoy this book. It's not got an overly complicated storyline, but isn't so basic you feel like you are reading a middle school book. There isn't much sexual content, but there is some violence, so be warned of that.

    Overall, this book is more creepy than anything else, and I thought it was pretty cool. I'd really like to visit the Asylum in this book if it actually existed. I love spooky things like that.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Gripping and suspenseful
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    3.5 stars. The title of this novella is somewhat of a misnomer. Yes, there is a creepy asylum in the town, but only a small bit of the action actually takes place there...and NOT during the night. I'll have to say I was a little disappointed with that revelation.

    But, "A Night at the Asylum" is gripping, with fluid writing and clever delivery of a series of weird circumstances that make you think, what just happened here? And, I want to read more, now!

    This starts with 20-year Sara, who is having a very vivid dream of her older--but deceased--brother. These dreams come often, and he keeps saying he's frustrated with her for not getting his point as they continue to play games together. But she's just clueless as to what he means.

    When she wakes up, she leaves her parents' home to get a drink from a nearby convenience store. Her chance encounter with a former classmate starts a chain of events that alters her life.

    This book is about solving a few of the town's mysteries. There is a bit of paranormal mixed in as well. And the book continually makes you think, is this all a dream? But ultimately, I was a bit disappointed with the circumstances that were revealed at the end.

    However, that didn't alter the fact that I enjoyed the writing. I'll have to look for more books from this author!
