There are few things I love more than a thriller with a cult. Give me a thriller with a podcast AND a cult…✨swoon✨
Random fact about me, the concept of a cult terrifies and intrigues me at the same time. I just want to know what’s going on in their heads. This book, while a work of fiction, did just that. We had the opportunity to interact with Claire, the only survivor, as she grapples with guilt and an air of suspicion in her small town.
We have all my fav’s- multiple POV’s, dual timelines, and unreliable narrators
Something to note: while the podcast is part of the story it is not a main driving force the way it is in other books.
I don’t have many cons for this read, but I will say it ended abruptly. I could have used a few more chapters.
Overall I enjoyed this and look forward to more from this author!
