Review: The Institute

The blue caretakers came for her in the night and they saw her no more. It’s two days until Halloween, and what’s more appropriate for the final week of Spooky Book Month than the latest Stephen King novel? Luke Ellis has what can only be described as the perfect life. At twelve years old he’s
