MY THOUGHTS●●●
You can tell that this book is well researched...it felt so realistic. An absolute triumph of a story. At the end of the book, there is an afterward where the author explains why she wrote this story and how she once lived in a cult-like community herself...maybe not exactly like the one depicted in this book...but I believe it was a basis for her story...and it shows.

This book is a short quick read/listen that never gets bogged down with too many details...I flew through it and I was finished before I knew it. I dug the setting of an abandoned theme park for the community...so very urbex. The narration really pulled this story together for me...Melissa Moran was wonderful. She really channeled that cult feeling and nailed the voice of Piper.
