”Human beings are cruel creatures. And what we don’t understand, we tamper with until we destroy it.”

Drew’s brother has been sent away, he has been sent to a residential academy. Drew is grateful not to have to deal with her brother for a while, that is until she is followed home by someone who tells her Mason has sent her a message, something at the school is not right, people are changing, and not for the better. Drew must decide what to do, ignore the message or get herself into the school to rescue her brother and get to the bottom of the mystery.

I loved this book. The characters was fleshed out well, and I felt like I really knew Drew. She was determined and likeable, she is what made this book really good. I didn’t really believe that the school was doing anything to the children, I chalked it up to Mason being rebellious and not believing people couldn’t change. That is until Drew herself got into the school and the clues that were dotted throughout.

Drew had difficulty in getting to the bottom of the mystery, she was watched constantly by the staff, she was banned from areas of the school until it was her time to move onto the next stage, surrounded by weird rules and a prison like environment. I must admit I did doubt whether Drew would be successful or whether she would lie brainwashed just like the students before her. In the end, she managed to rescue her brother and while this was a happy ending, I did hope for a little more of the end of the book, I felt like there could have been a stronger ending the way they escaped.
