Review Detail

The Institute is a riveting teen fiction novel. The beginning is a little slow but VITAL to the rest of the story so it's not a bad thing. I love Allira. She is strong and sassy but has a good heart. She struggles with figuring out who she is as a person, just like most teens out therefore doing. She is a real character that you can relate to. The story line follows her as she gets captured and taken to The Institute. Here, she discovers the dark secrets hidden within the walls and starts realizing the type of person that she wants to be. I didn't know which character I was supposed to fall for, Chad or Drew, so am keeping an open mind for the second book and see potential in both guys and am looking forward to seeing how her relationships with the play out.
The Institute is a very entertaining read that keeps you guessing at what's going to happen next. Give this book a chance and you won't want to put it down. I was drawn into the original storyline, realistic characters, and suspenseful plot. Can't wait to start the second.
