Alex Simmons just wanted a paycheck.
Broke, behind on rent, and one bad quiz away from academic probation, the twenty-year-old psych major takes the highest-paying job a broke college kid could ask for: an overnight gig at the local mental hospital. Easy money, his girlfriend promises. Just watch the patients, follow the rules, and whatever you do - don't get attached.
He breaks that rule in his first week.
Her name is Serafine. Sharp-tongued, strange, and locked in a room she keeps deliberately, defiantly dark. She's not like the other patients, and the more time Alex spends with her, the more he realizes the hospital isn't just failing her - it's hiding her. When her secret finally claws its way into the light, Alex learns the monsters he grew up laughing at in horror movies are real. They're called Aswang. And they've just noticed him too.
Between an ancient bloodline hunting her down, a body count that keeps climbing, and a girlfriend who's starting to ask questions he can't answer, Alex has exactly one move left: break every rule in the employee handbook and get Serafine out - before whatever's coming for her decides two victims are easier to hide than one.
Equal parts wisecracking horror-comedy and heart-pounding paranormal romance, Midnight Asylum is a fast, funny, blood-soaked ride for anyone who's ever wondered what's really going on behind the locked door at the end of the hall.
