What is Bedlam about?

Sixteen-year-old Lexi is sent to live with the mother who abandoned her, in a village she expects to find painfully dull. Then strange howling begins at night, break-ins unsettle the house, and her mother’s dog disappears. Following it into the woods, Lexi discovers an abandoned asylum with a terrifying secret. As danger closes in, she must uncover what happened there—and decide whom she can trust—before the truth puts her and her family at risk.
