**3.5 stars**
This was a pretty straightforward novel about a cult, specifically what happens when an escaped member and a current member who have a lot of history with each other reunite under suspicious circumstances.
I feel like because I have read a decent amount of Shepherd’s other books, I was expecting a little bit more wow at the end which I did not get. The story DOES have a climax, it’s just not as twisty as Shepherd’s other works, and that’s okay (plus it was also written by Joris-Peyrafitte, so it makes sense that this book would be a little different). I really enjoyed this still! The less crazy ending just made it seem more realistic, which I throughly appreciated.
If you want a fast-moving and well written cult novel that is still decently realistic, I would 100% recommend!
Thank you to NetGalley, Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Sara Sheperd, and Blackstone Publishing for a copy of this novel!
