After years in foster homes, seventeen-year-old Benson Fisher applies to New Mexico's Maxfield Academy in hopes of securing a brighter future, but instead he finds that the school is a prison and no one is what he or she seems.

Wow, this was a hard book to put down! I felt like the characters were well developed and the twist nicely executed. I’m anxious to read the second book in this series. I’m also looking forward to meeting Robison Wells on November 12th at the Teen Book Fest!
