Additionally, there were several twists thrown into the book that just furthered my feeling that everything was simply too well orchestrated to be coincidental, and so my belief in the story itself was lost. I did find this part of the story to be a little too implausible for my taste. Could they be living secretly among this area for nearly two decades-evading search parties, police, campers, and other infrequent visitors? Unfortunately for them, a tale is told that just before the asylum was closed down, four of "the most dangerous inmates" managed to escape, and were never found. Additionally, a large decommissioned military base, and a small cottage of some sort, surrounded by vast amounts of woods and uninhabited terrain. An old asylum for the criminally insane, or "the worst of the worst" of deranged humans, was somewhere on the grounds. The location was a part I really did enjoy-an old lodge, difficult to get to on a good day, now immersed in a snow storm. The premise for the novel is that a Reality TV crew is going to film several pairs of people, with each team of two trying to find whatever their challenges happen to be, in the least amount of time. ENTER THE NIGHT is the second novel I have read by author Anthony Izzo, although the first one I read was approximately twenty years ago, so I had no real "idea" of how his writing style was at this point.
