I started reading this book thinking it was a totally different story. The beginning hooked me and then I couldn’t put it down. I finished it in 1 day because I had to find out what in the world was going on.
It has some unexpected twists and I wasn’t even sure with all my guessing what might be truth or lies. It was a very unique book and well worth a Sunday afternoon of reading.

Finished this book in a few hours. I was soooo into the story and then a dumb character decision at the end knocked off a star for me.

This book was written to be a page turner, and it was, but the writing itself was not very good and there was little character development...primarily because we're in a super natural world of mind control where characters are more than what they appear.
The book starts off with a private investigator seeking out a missing children's book author, then we end up in a place called Pastoral, which is an off the grid community where things get real wacky real fast. I would not recommend this book based on the writing alone, but I could see this story getting turned into a television series.

Not quite sure how I'd rate this since I wasn't too happy with how it ended, but story-wise, I think it wrapped up quite nicely. Reading the book wasn't really about the supposed revelations since they were both easy to get wind of early on. You'd be able to know the second plot twist in Part One, and the first plot twist in Part Two. I think the reading experience was more about trying to understand how they happened.

The best book I have read in a LONG TIME. When I tell you I was literally captivated, I finished it in just over one day. I truly did not predict in any way the twists and turns, which is so rare. Mysterious, captivating, happy, sad, & also a love story at its core…. Somehow this book is ALL of that. The author did such an amazing job here.
