Absolutely. Horrifying. Evil.
A gripping story of an evil cult masquerading as a church, the torture and abuse of young queer folk in the name of salvation, and
the power of love.
This book was A LOT and definitely not an easy read (mind your squicks), but it was all worth it.
The ending was simply poetic and very satisfying. 😏
This was my first read of this author, but I'll definitely be looking into their other horror novels as well.
