The Poison Garden: A Novel | 
pickThe book is about life in a cult preparing its members for the apocalypse and what happens when those who grew up in the cult are confronted with the outside world - what started out as a group of people training for survival turns into manipulation, power struggles, rape and murder. I liked the different perspectives and timelines, especially Romy‘s viewpoint. Interesting premise, dark and sad but also thought-provoking.Marwood is a good writer.
so-soStory of an apocalyptic cult and the survivor. Narrative style shows the talent of the author, but sometimes I found the switching timeline/POV elements hard to follow. I didn‘t find this suspenseful or thrilling, more interesting and dark. It‘s slow paced and the ending was a bit less than desired but I would suggest it as a #dark, #emotional, and sad read for fans of reads ft psychology, cults, abnormal settings/plots etc 3/5 #thriller #suspense
so-soI did enjoy this, but I think it gets a so-so as the ending didn‘t finish everything off but gave the impression that karma would come around as it were. I like my books to get everything tied up. But I do like Alex Marwood‘s books and the story of this as a cult which falls apart and how a few of the survivors dealt with it was very clever and creepy.
pickThis was an arc I got from a friend‘s bookstore. I have no idea if it is out yet.
This was an excellent thriller with cults, poison, and betrayal. We are the Dead and they are the Arc. The world shall end and they will be ready.
This is Grace and me enjoying the weather outside. My current view of the garage. I love my old house and garage. The house is to my left. You can just see a corner of it. I am currently reading the tagged book. I am home for at least three weeks and I intend to enjoy the time off! #keeplitsypositive
pickY'all I could not put this book down. I literally stayed up until five this morning because I *had* to finish it.
While investigating a mysterious odor the police discover more than a hundred dead bodies, the former members of an apocalypse cult that no one knew existed until it no longer did. This book follows the lives of three survivors, siblings Romy, Eden and Ilo and their lives both inside the cult and after.
pickI have a morbid fascination with cults, so I was thrilled when I won a copy of this ARC in #goodreadsgiveaways. It started a little choppy but once I got going it was very good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Won this in a #Goodreadsgiveaway and it just arrived. Cults are involved so it sounds right up my alley!
Comes out 1/7/2020
