Not for the faint of heart. Everything you don’t want to be possible exists in this story, but it shines a light on how deeply rooted misogyny and sexism are in our culture. Unfortunately, looking at current events proves that while this is technically a work of fiction, there’s enough evil in the world to make it wholly believable.

This book was very hard for me to read. PLEASE PLEASE look up trigger warnings for this book to make sure you can handle its content. The imagery is very graphic in my opinion.

I think the author did a great job with the subject matter. It is well written.

It is so hard to believe thing like this exist in our world but the truth is, they do. It is  scary thought to know how easy it is to keep something this awful hidden in the shadows, how far it can really reach, and how many people that you would least expect to be involved in something like this. This is all I am going to say because I don't want to give anything away for those who chose to read the book.

This book was not at all what I was expecting, but in the best way. I went into it expecting a "run of the mill" cult thriller and ended up with a dark, twisty critique of the power of classism, misogyny, and religious extremism. 

Some of the diologue was a bit cringe and didn't feel like the way these people would actually talk, but besides that the plot, story, twists, were all great and unexpected. Could not put it down!
