I won this in a Storygraph giveaway and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. A strong storyline on ethics, morals, and sacrifices made for family.

Thoroughly creepy, and exceptionally horrifying. Also--a pretty convincing warning against company towns. And cults in general. Because no matter how many drinks of psychedelic-laced wine they give you, there WILL be a sacrifice, and someone is DEFINITELY going to die.

While Linda, our protagonist, could be a little daft about the things happening around her, I still thought this was entertaining. I'm really interested in seeing this polished up now that it's been released. 

Thank you to atriabooks for this arc giveaway

It took about 50 pages and I almost gave it up but then I just couldn’t put it down. Is this book amazing? No. But poop if it isn’t fun! ( considering it’s about a cult corporation)

This felt like what would happen if the world was ending and the Real Housewives of whatever, created a cult and tried to “save the world and/or community.” It was an interesting concept for a book. It did take me a little to get into.
