Reviews

[Richard Dominguez · Rating 5 out of 5]

An interesting story that may have been underappreciated. Good plot with well fleshed out characters whom had plenty development throughout the story

[Mikepottz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Father Goddard strict, intelligent, hard-working catholic priest, head teacher at an exclusive, archaic, catholic boarding school will kill his favourite, capable, destined for priesthood student in a maze of confusion, jealousy, awakening, absolution and one other student with manipulate, avenge, drive the priest to a choice of suicide, insanity or prison. Didnt see the ending coming, a good attempt at hard love, discipline and humility.
