4.5/5 My first forey into religious horror and ut was such a good book for it. The book may start slow but its taking you on a journey through Augustus' life and all that he has been through and it makes you root for him and his happiness. I loved Nathaniel and the way their relationship develops as well. The religious/cult aspects were something new to me and something where going in I wasn't sure how I could relate cause I wasn't raised particularly religious. Even so I could understand the struggles and feel for the character. I thought I understood what was real but the end remained a rollercoaster of emotions and left me staring at a wall. In a good way. Such a strong debut and a big recommendation from me if you're looking into different horror sub-genres.

This is a masterpiece I would recommend without hesitation!!

Every single one of those five stars is deserved. I am completely in awe… I was excited. I was thrilled. I was completely absorbed. It was eerie, unnerving, sweet, it was gripping, and it had me sending excerpts to my sister, giggling like a little girl, kicking my feet in delight, gasping for air, and even taking pictures of passages I couldn’t stop marveling at because they were haunting me. The writing style was absolutely phenomenal. At times lyrical, at times completely natural in dialogue, so human, so effortless to read. And then there were moments that were almost poetic, absolutely breathtaking. The story itself is wonderfully complex. I could genuinely empathize with each character, understand their motivations, and follow every nuance of their development. Each leap was intentional, seamless, and crucial to the story. I didn’t know what would happen next, and I waited, almost in suspense, until the very end, which is rare for me. AND THE ENDING??? Well I cannot really say anything besides that this was phenomenal. This is a masterpiece I would recommend without hesitation, and one I’ll be thinking about for a long time!!
