- Belief should be a conscious choice, not something you’re brainwashed into when you’re too young to understand or question it. Faith isn’t something you pass down like an heirloom.
- Why do we hate our girls so much that history echoes with their screams and the earth is pitted with their unmarked graves?
- You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but you can certainly judge a person by their books.
- The Old Testament is crap. It’s full of misogyny, torture and inconsistencies. Jesus preached about love. All love.
- Flo isn’t really a huge fan of social media. She doesn’t like how everyone pretends they have an amazing life or how they filter their faces a zillion times so they don’t even look human. It’s all false and fake.
- Your past is a part of you. It trails at your heels like a faithful old dog, refusing to leave your side. And sometimes, it bites your arse.
- Or perhaps all adults feel like that at times. Like we’re just playing at being grown-up, but inside we’re still children, shuffling around in oversized clothes, wishing someone would tell us that monsters don’t exist.
- Bad memories are like splinters. Sometimes painful, but you learn to live with them. The problem is, they always work their way to the surface eventually.
- Comfort always dispels rage more quickly than shouting does.
- Although we can never really ease trauma, our mind is good at repairing it, layering over it with new experiences, like fresh skin growing over an old wound. The scar remains. It just hurts less and becomes harder to see.
- Never have children, a friend once told me. Not if you want to finish a cup of coffee, get to see the end of a film or enjoy a full night’s sleep ever again.
- Faith, to an extent, is a placebo. If you believe it works, it works.
- I think we have the capacity for good and evil. But for some, one side is more prevalent than the other.
- You want to believe the world is black and white. But, as an adult, you realise that most people exist in the grey area in between. All stuck in the middle and bumbling through.
- Sometimes, trying to fill a silence just makes it heavier.
- And I remind myself that old age is not a disease but a destination.

Ik heb dit zooo snel uitgelezen, dat is al het eerste compliment naar het boek. Ik wilde er zo graag achter komen wat er nou allemaal was gebeurd. Toen kwam er een ‘plottwist’ en ik dacht van mhh die kon je wel zien aankomen. Maar daarna kwam de echte plottwist pas, en holy shit die was goed!! Zeker een aanrader als je van spannende boeken houdt!
This was very atmospheric and creepy and well-written. It wasn’t particularly fast but I was hooked the whole time. There were a lot of characters but they all felt very real and developed. The ending didn’t totally land for me but I still really liked it! Reccommend if you like creepy thrillers with religious overtones

WTF DID I JUST READ?!?!? This book started off a little slow but it was sooo good. It had some scenes that were really creepy and everyone was a suspect but I couldn't quite figure out who was the most suspicious. The ending was a bit predictable but I wasn't mad at it. I was really entertained by this book.
