I don’t know what it is about this author, but I love her. Every book I’ve read from her so far ends and the endings are never happy. Brother 10/10 in fucked up. This was long winded at time but it did not disappoint

I feel like I would have loved this book a lot more if not for the repetitiveness and general spoon fed plot. This is my first fiction book dealing with cults and I was honestly really into it. Ania is quickly becoming an author I’d recommend to anyone wanting to get into horror.
