Book Review - The Faculty Club by Danny Tobey

Synopsis:  At the world’s most exclusive law school, there’s a secret society rumored to catapult its members to fame and fortune. Everyone is dying to get in...
Jeremy Davis is the rising star of his first-year class. He’s got a plum job with the best professor on campus. He’s caught the eye of a dazzling Rhodes scholar named Daphne. But something dark is stirring behind the ivy. When a mysterious club promises success beyond his wildest dreams, Jeremy uncovers a macabre secret older than the university itself. In a race against time, Jeremy must stop an ancient ritual that will sacrifice the lives of those he loves most and blur the lines between good and evil.
First Line:  "I remember my mother's reaction when I got accepted to the greatest law school in the world."

Random Quote:  "In one fell swoop, Nigel had swept aside hundreds of years of criminal law and asked, how can we punish this man?  And he spoke like a Shakespearean actor.  His client wasn't even real, and when I saw one of the jurors dab at her eyes, I knew I was in trouble."
Review:  This was so mediocre that it doesn't even qualify as terrible.  I'm not sure how this author managed to screw up a story with an elite school and a super secret club, but he did.  Just awful.  Don't bother.
