I don’t mind having to suspend my disbelief for books, but this twist was so ridiculous and over the top it honestly ruined the book for me. This would have been so much better if we had just gotten Travis’s story instead.

 If this book was just about Travis and the cult I probably would've loved this book. But after his chapters the plot just became jumbled. The ending was very anticlimactic and left me wanting more.

5.0

The last few chapters picked up the pace to the point I stayed up late reading. I was so drawn into the story I felt the fear of the characters as the story came to an end.

After the first 100 pages, I couldn't put it down. I just wanted to have the answers. Such an intriguing plot.
