Welcome to Litsy!

The author was brought up in a cult environment, and much of the story felt plausible for this reason. This became a page-turner halfway through and landed in a realistic, slightly open-ended way, which makes sense given the circumstances. If you're down for bad-ass, female vigilante protagonists, this one's for you. Oh, and definitely a #revenge sub-theme in here for #JubilantJuly.

Reading this one as research for a cult plot I'm toying around with writing. A bit of a slow start with a little too much holding back on the reveals (I felt I needed them earlier to be truly hooked), but some deft plotting now that I'm a chunk of the way in. I'm digging the vigilante heroine and the cult insights, but not sold on the importance of the supporting cast yet (at page 150 so far.) #currentreads #currentlyreading

I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the first book in this series due to the child abuse I think. It may also be that I read The Informationist but listened to The Innocent. I might be done with this series.

Starting the audiobook sequel to The Informationist. Also trying out Libby as the Overdrive replacement.

Thriller Audio Book 2 OK, if I had read this one first I would not have continued. It felt like a first ever novel and that it may have been a form of semi autobiographical catharsis from being part of a cult. Overall, I disliked it but still like the main characters. if #3 is the same I won't finish. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/us/13ttstevens.html +

given what her author bio says about Ms Stevens's upbringing in a cult, the details that provide the backdrop for this book are chilling and troubling and heartbreaking.
the plot and pacing are again, excellent, and the character of Munroe continues to intrigue.
