In The Clearing by J.P. Pomare

4.0

In The Clearing has everything a good thriller needs to have: an interesting storyline (this one is about a cult kidnapping kids), unreliable characters, multiple pov's and lot of twists. That being said, it made me - the world's slowest reader - so intrigued that Ive finished it in two days!

But it did make me wonder how many weird people lives in this world. The cults fascinate and scare the shit out of me at the same time. And apparently the premise of this book was based on a real cult that operated in Australia from 1960' till 1980's, so it made it more real and more scary overall.
