This book is inspired by a Charles Mason type cult/murder and reads like a YA novel. The story is about a young girl who has lack luster parents and falls into this cult looking for acceptance and love. I wanted to devour this book like a crazy thriller but ended up reading about how much this girl hated herself and was desperate for validation with no character development.
