Welcome to Litsy!

This book took me on an undetermined adventure that seemed to have an ultimate ending looming as you continued to flip the pages. However, As I got to the ending, I found myself thinking “When will I be done this book”.
The author was trying to unpack and apply meaning to human pain and suffering, but I couldn‘t find the main characters‘ justification. Maybe that‘s just me.
I‘d love to know anyone else‘s thoughts on this book.

This might be a good book. I just know from the first few chapters that I wouldn't like it. I'm trying not to force myself to finish every book I pick up.

This space between kind and crazy is shorter than you make think. ☠️☠️☠️

I loved Darling Rose Gold so was excited to read this one! A little more confusing as several different POVs involved, but once I finished I figured it out! Cults, parent behaving badly, release of fear thru pain….creepy good!

This book was unlike any other thriller I've read before. I picked it up because I'm always up for a good cult book but I stayed because of the dynamic between the MC and her sister, and for the twisty plotline.plot line. I never knew where it was going to go and I wasn't disappointed.

I loved Darling Rose Gold so I can‘t wait to dive into this one

3⭐/5⭐

I spent a lot of the book confused as to who the flashbacks referred to!

Starting this on my Kindle

I really did not enjoy this. I was lured in by the premise: there‘s a cult, psychological thriller with twists. I wish I would have bailed when I wasn‘t enjoying it at the beginning but so many references to the “spectacular ending” made me want to see if it was worth it. It wasn‘t. I suppose I prefer my cult books to be nonfiction. I listened to the audiobook and found it dull. As sad as it was, the child abuse scenes were the most well-done.

Ooohh I liked this one a lot. There was a moment that was really triggering for me and I had to put it down for half a day, but i feel books should stir things in you, just take care of yourselves ❤️
A charismatic leader on a mission, a women looking for her sister on a private island resort, secrets being revealed. Yeah I liked it!

Hehe, love finding fun gems like this.

Also, this book is addictive…

This book was not what I thought it would be. There are multiple storylines that by the end become braided together. I enjoyed it because it was something different in the thriller genre. I can't recall reading anything like it before. The relationship that is given the most attention is that of sisters Kit & Natalie & how the relationship has strained under the weight of history & secrets. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Please tell me this one is going to give me something to talk about!! I am in such a slump for finding good books 😩.

I liked how the author played with ambiguity: Is the island a self-help getaway or a cult? Are characters actions altruistic or devious? Which parenting style is worse: controlling or checked out absentee? The story sucked me right in and had plenty of twists and turns.

I enjoyed this novel as a character study in how people become attracted to cults. It goes much deeper than that I just don't want to give away too much. The only part I felt was lacking was the ending. I thought there would be a conclusion but I was left wanting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Happy Tuesday! My favorite day of the week. For my day off, I'm starting this brand new thriller about two sisters one of which appears to have joined a cult. I'm very intrigued!

This was really very good. I liked it better than her previous novel. The characters are complicated and it takes a bit to find out how it all works together. You also don't find out exactly what the mystery is until pretty far in.
