Five "Torturous Tension Terror" Stars
Nail-Biting Suspense!
A small taste of what lies within:
The Institute (a facility that houses kids with special abilities) lies hidden far back in the woods of Minnesota out of the way of civilization. Very few people know of its existence as the secrecy of the facility has been around for 60 years. The children inside though are put through all kinds of torture (mental and physical) to find out how far their psychic abilities go and what they can be used for in terms of a government project. All of the children are brought in unwillingly with the promise of going home eventually.
A few of the children, Luke, Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and Avery have other plans, but putting those plans into motion could cause some upheaval with the staff and could cause some severe repercussions, but are they willing to go through with those plans?
No spoilers here as to find out more about this story, you will need to read the book!
Thoughts:
This was an exciting story - there was some world building in the beginning of the book with setting up the background of the Institute along with all the staff that is involved and then all the children characters with a small background story of who they were and what type of characters they were going to be within the story.
I loved all the kids as though they all went through some terrible trials within this story they had some resilience as well where they wanted to fight for their rights and they didn't care what happed to themselves as long as the staff could pay for how they were treating the kids. The children show strength, love, and support for each other then on the flip side they had anger, hate and hurt for the staff with what they were doing to the children.
All in all I loved how the Master of Horror just brought this world together and showed that even though there is evil in the world there is also a shining light of good that outweighs the bad. King show both sides of the coin in this book with "good" being the children and "bad" being the staff at the Institute. Another great book by the Master of Horror.
