Despite, my hate of the cult trope, this was a good read.

I feel like I'm forcing myself to get through this. The first chapter hooked me, and it had great moments (loved Riley and Stephanie), but there's so many characters to keep track of and the chapters ramble on so much that just don't care anymore. One of mny goals for 2025 is to DNF more books instead of torturing myself. Guess I'm starting early. 🤷🏿‍♀️

I’m not a fan of books, shows, or movies about cults. Well, ‘not a fan’ is too harsh. That subgenre of horror just isn’t my go-to. I admit there’s an irony to that statement since I absolutely love The Sacrament (but I credit that love to my fascination with the whole Jim Jones thing) and I like Red State probably more than I should. But, overall, I find cults ho-hum. So why the hell am I reviewing [a:Todd Keisling|1354596|Todd Keisling|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1573360443p2/1354596.jpg]’s Devil’s Creek, a book about an evil cult? I’ll tell you why: when everyone whose opinion you trust on books tells you to read the damn novel, you read the damn novel. And, before I get into it, I’m going to tell you too: Read the damn novel.
