I went into this expecting a Friday the 13th level queer camp horror. What I got instead was an escape from a cult with so much religious trauma, it was hard not to relate to. This book was fantastic and a thrilling ride to the end. Highly recommend.

A great summer read and the perfect book to get me back into reading horror. Loved the dip into theology and the ending was very apt.

Thoroughly disturbing and intriguing. The writing was really good and had a distinct voice. The family dynamic and conversations were so real I had to stop a few times. I didn’t know much about the plot when I went into the audiobook, but it immediately hooked me in.The audiobook is definitely the way to go, it really brings everything to life. 

Even before it was revealed the MC is indeed autistic I was identifying with her and wondering if she was neurodivergent. I really enjoy her friendship with Saul despite their differences and her conflicting feelings for her family, it’s all portrayed really well.  The descriptions of the demons and videos were so well written it made my stomach twist, but admittedly I don’t read many books with written descriptions of things like that so others may not think the same.
