Thorns

Mason Asylum is not to be taken lightly. Everyone in town knows that one would have to be heinous, ruthless and detached to get in. And that person would have to be even more clever, cunning and conniving to get out. The hill upon which it rests stands as a daunting shadow over the city, often interpreted by citizens as both a reminder of heroic services rendered and a symbol of tyrannical power over the populace, holding a proverbial atomic bomb of the criminally insane.
Thorns, the first book in the Mason Cases series, is a detailed account of the only escaped convicted patient from Mason Asylum. Its validity has never been confirmednor denied. Follow him as he quests for the woman he lovesoutside the walls of the hospital/prison. Armed with a pen, a notebook, and an endless arsenal of mental resources, and fueled by an undying dedication to the girl for whom he longs, his journey takes him along a twisted road that he himself creates.
This series is a very twisted and mysterious story[trailing] a lover unfolding countless disorders and dysfunctions, not only of himself, but of the many characters that he meets, while on a mission to reunite with his lover. Hell stop at nothing to find her and prove both his love and his stability. (Aleigha, MD)
