The Believing Game by Eireann Corrigan
4.0
When I heard that there was a YA cult book, I was sold. There are hardly ever YA books about a cult because, well, it's an adult topic.
Eireann Corrigan did a really good job with the character development, plot line, and world building making you think that the leader of this "group" was a freaking creeper while still being able to see why these kids would get involved in a situation like that. I have always found cults fascinating, and this is a great book if you want to dive into a world like that but not have to hear all the gory, gruesome details.
HOWEVER, I thought the ending was kind of lame. I am pretty sure this is going to be a standalone novel because they left essentially no room to build off of this ending. Would have been a 5 star book except for the ending. I feel like the author got to the end and was like well, I am not really sure what to do to make the story stop.
