The Shuttered Ward tells the story of two girls who suddenly get new abilities after they got in a car accident. On top of that, they find an abandoned asylum with a long history. Every time they leave the site, it’s like they get pulled back there. I really loved this book! I knew I would even before I started because I loved the author’s other series Pirate Queen, which is one of my favorites. This book was really well written. The events were unpredictable and sometimes it got my heart pumping. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal books.

They go for a ride with their friends and find an abandoned insane asylum. The pull is stronger and they see something horrifying,
This book was advertised as a paranormal romance, general fantasy or general action adventure but to me this book is more of a psychological thriller, paranormal mystery and horror. It has a lot of creepy, scary scenes that get your heart pumping. The characters are well developed with distinct personalities complete with strengths and weaknesses. They are engaging and as the story goes on, you can not help but wonder what is going to happen to them. The narrative is great, setting the scene, exploring their emotions and developing a sense of fear and suspense. The action scenes are well done. The author takes you on an emotional rollercoaster as the girls deal with their fear and the events they go through. I really liked this book and would like to read the next one in the series.

The Shuttered Ward is quite a tale. I kid you not, It had my stomach in knots almost the entire time I was reading. I love how detailed oriented Mrs. McMahon is. It’s apparent in her descriptions that really brought the Asylum to life that she did quite a bit of research. I can say with no doubt that I would not want to be in Grace and Kaitlyn’s positions. However, I am dying to find out what happens next in their journey to uncover the secrets of the ward.
