I read the second book in this duology first because I was told they could be read as standalones… they cannot. I was really disappointed with how the second book ended so I read the first to see if it would change my thoughts. It didn’t really, but I still enjoyed this book. It reads as a dark drama more than a thriller, but it’s still a very interesting look into a descent into cult life.
