The attempted twist ending felt bizarre, unearned, and not built up to at all. The book didn't punish the actions of the parents or their church friends, instead forcing an external and confusing villain into the picture abruptly. Just really disappointing, as the story had good bones, but the "twist" felt like the author desperately wanted to be writing a different story than the one he actually was.
