The book that got me out of my two month reading slump! Major trigger warnings for this book, which the author kindly places in the beginning of the book. Make sure to look those up.

Going into this book I knew some basic details such as it being a cult based book and very dark. Anything else I had no clue what to expect! If you know my reading habits, I love a very dark book! I’m not triggered by anything so I didn’t feel apprehensive about this book beforehand. The mix of dark sexual themes and general creepiness made me fly through this book. I kept picturing it as a movie too.

At thriller bookclub, we discussed this book thoroughly and I fully appreciated the feelings of my fellow bookclub members. Some felt the cult aspect of the book shouldn’t be marketed as thriller fiction and should only be shared as nonfiction. The damaging stories could diminish the seriousness of cults in our real world. I think that’s a great point! So if you decide to read this book, keep in mind the real cults that are out there and maybe give some time to research them.
