A review by amdame1
Basilisk by Rob Thurman
3.0
3.5 stars
I didn't realize it was the second in a series. It stood alone fine, but probably would have been even better if I had read the other one first.
Michael was rescued from "The Institute" by his brother. Michael had been kidnapped at the age of 7 and rescued 10 years later. During his time at the Institute, he was turned into a killer, with special powers and abilities. Michael and Stefan intend to go back to rescue all the other children who had to be left behind, but their plans take a twist when the Institute discovers them before they were quite ready.
I liked the characters and plot quite a bit. I say I should read the first one, but I probably won't just due to time constraints and so many other books to be read first.
