Into the Light by Aleatha Romig
4.0
I have to admit..when I first saw this book up for request on Netgalley I thought it was a sexy times book.
It's more of a thriller and it's freaking good! 4.5 stars from bitchy me good.
Sara wakes up in a hospital and realizes she can't see and has no memories of her life at all. She is told by the staff and a guy who says he is her husband that she had an accident and is recovering. But husband boy? Jacob..he tells her to not embarrass him...then he proceeds to lie when questioned by the 'sister' and 'brothers' that come to see Sarah.
Sara may just need to go back to sleep.
Sara is told that Jacob and herself are part of what is called "The Light"..led by Father Gabriel.
The Light is acult refuge in which women are taken care of by their husbands. Umm that means the fuckers tell them when to even take a pee.
The husbands and Sara finds this out the hard way, may have to 'correct' their wives for either questioning or embarrassing them in anyway.
But of course..they love them. *gag*
Sara is pretty beat up and it's believable to see where she doesn't know her past, so she ends up going back to the compound with Jacob. She learns that she is supposed to greet him at the door when he returns home everyday.
Jacob does have two sides though and Sara starts to have some smexy time feelings for him. (Lay off the girl-she honestly believes she belongs here)..plus the compound is in the far north Alaska and they make sure she knows about polar bears.
There is another storyline going at the same time as Sara's story is unfolding. Stella is an investigative reporter who's best friend Mindy has gone missing. Once she starts looking into the disappearance she realizes that everything ties back to "The Light"...
Think you have it figured out? YOU ARE SO WRONG!! This book totally messes with your head.
Now I need the second book. I hate frigging cliffhanger serial books and here I am begging for the next one. I need to get ahold of myself.

I'm picking my friend Chelsea's review to put in this slot. She hits the nail on the head with this book and she uses words instead of pick-tures.
