Autor: Mary Gray
Sinopse: Play the game...
Or die.
When the world is ending, all Cheyenne wants is safety.
A virus ravages the earth, and soon no place will be left untouched. So when eighteen-year-old Cheyenne wakes up in Elysian Fields, a subdivision cut off from the world and its monster-creating virus, she is thrilled to have a chance at survival.
At first, Elysian Fields, with its beautiful houses and manicured lawns, seems perfect. But then Teo, the man running the place and Cheyenne's controlling boyfriend, tells her there are tests that she and seven other couples must pass before he'll give them the cure for the virus.
The people they were before are gone. Teo dresses them up and forces each of the seven couples to pretend to be literary characters from romances that ended tragically. She’s Persephone, and she’s told exactly how to move and behave.
In order to pass his test, they must play along. Play it right, then they'll be safe. Play it wrong… they’ll die. "The Dollhouse Asylum is many things, but at the end of the day it is a tale of obsessive love gone wrong. It is, in fact, a twisted episode of Criminal Minds with some dystopian undertones."- Teen Librarian Toolbox
The Dollhouse Asylum is a fast-paced dystopian thriller about escaping abuse with wild twists, high stakes, and terrible secrets, perfect for fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Criminal Minds.
