Review: An intriguing start to a series that could pack great potential.

This short-story is a nice kick-off for a series that I feel has great potential. At the time of my reading, the manuscript needed some editing. This is the main reason for my 4 star rating (I have been informed that it is being edited, so if you are considering this story, by the time you purchase it, the manuscript should be improved). I noticed a few descriptions could certainly be expanded or clarified. The ending left me wanting more, and could also use a little more depth. As long as a few adjustments are made to polish this story, I could see myself reading further into the series.What did I love about this book? The setting was memorable and relatable, especially for anyone who’s been to college. The characters were even better. The dean of the school (Wes) is pragmatic and bold, and I hope to see a lot of him. The protagonist, Evan, is an anxiety-filled, emotionally-crippled student. I loved his quirks. I felt like the poor kid needed some therapy and I think his character can evolve in interesting ways throughout the rest of this series. I think this series has a lot of potential depending on what happens with the characters and any interesting plot turns they become involved with.
