Review: THE PROFESSOR by Alexandria Clarke


The strange disappearance of a history professor.

Nicole was one of his grad students and his TA, both with “a mutual dedication to research and stories of the past.” She received a frantic message from him on that horrible, rainy night, directing her to some evidence he has. What evidence? She searches through his findings, trying to make sense of it. Why did he collect all this sordid info on faculty and students? Nicole was determined to find out. In the midst, she must write her thesis or she won’t graduate.

Unveiling a prestigious university’s secrets and shady dealings (teachers that got tenure; average C-student that became valedictorian.)

I liked the easy-going narrative as well as the follow-through and fierce tenacity of the main character. Nicole is an inquisitive researcher and a fearless solver. She had taken up the professor’s quest and now she worried that her fate was sealed by the secret society. Would they kill her to keep her quiet?

With the society turning her world upside down, then kidnapping her boyfriend, Nicole concluded: If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get.

Full of twists and surprises. A gripping read! Wonderfully exciting!

My rating: 5 stars
