Devil's Creek
by Todd Keisling
I'm always going to pick up a book that has mentions of a cult in the blurb. It's just something I find so utterly fascinating but every time I do pick up these books, I'm always left disappointed and Devil's Creek was unfortunately no different.
Devil's Creek is set in Kentucky where there used to be a church that was home to a death cult ran by Jacob Masters. He believes in some nameless god and starts to get quite a lot of followers from the local town. In 1983, the church burned down after a mass suicide but some people did survive, including Jacob's 6 children and their grandparents. The main character we follow is one of these children - Jack Tremly. He is now an adult who returns to his hometown after his grandmother passes away. However, all he finds there now are more secrets and supernatural goings on.
We don't get a whole lot of information on the actual cult and what went on prior to 1983. Anything we do get is written very well and was super interesting, I just needed a bit more of it. Anything with Jack and his siblings in the present day is super boring. I really didn't care for it until the supernatural stuff started happening and even then it was very slow and you knew exactly how it was going to end.
Overall, this wasn't very scary/horror filled and it was really boring.
2 stars.
