But that might have been from the half case of Yuengling he’d had last night. A new feeling knotted up in his gut, almost sharp enough to make him sick. The door shut slowly but with a hard snap at the end, as if to say she was leaving them alone but wasn’t happy about it. Roger-his dear old dad-managed a wry laugh. Cal could just imagine her rolling those beady eyes of hers. This is the third time, Roger, Professor Reyes was saying. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it was better than keeping his eyes open and feeling the light pierce straight through to the back of his skull. His head pounded, that sour taste in his mouth making his stomach turn. Maybe you should ask better questions, lady. The way she rolled her eyes when she posed a question and no hands went up. His mouth tasted sour and the world spun, everything skewed and fuzzy. His cheek stuck to the desk a little as he jerked his head up. When Cal woke up, the classroom was empty. With plenty of twists, turns, and thrills, The Scarlets is an exhilarating installment in the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or provide a missing piece of the puzzle for series fans.Įpic Reads Impulse is a digital imprint with new releases each month.
And the price of joining the Scarlets might be higher than he can pay. Only, when the pressure starts getting to him and Cal accepts an invitation to meet a selective group of students and alumni known only as the Scarlets, the course of Cal's life changes forever. In this digital original story preceding the events of Sanctum, we meet Cal when he is experiencing college like any other kid with a group of close friends and a dad who piles on the pressure.
But Cal wasn't always the cold, sarcastic guy he is now. When Dan and his friends meet Cal in Sanctum-the sequel to Asylum-their impression of the privileged New Hampshire College student is less than stellar. In this chilling e-original story set in the world of Madeleine Roux's New York Times bestselling novel Asylum, which Publishers Weekly called "a strong YA debut," one teen's descent into the ranks of a secret society leaves him with a secret he'll have to take to his grave.
