The Children of Red Peak

Once again pure magic from this author! Couldn't put it down all I wanted was to find out the truth at the end! A powerful story for anyone with past troubles with religion and talks about the dichotomy of love the church family atmosphere while hating what it can do. Even though the dial is like all the way up to 11 I found the characters to have relatable problems and flaws. Overall a wonderful experience , super creepy and atmospheric that keeps you guessing all the way through! Must must read!

I am BITTER. At the beginning, I really thought this was gonna be a new favorite. I loved the cult and the descriptions, how it was looking at trauma and religion. I was stoked. But then, it took such a nosedive. We focused on two characters I didn't care about at all the whole time when all I wanted to hear from was David and Angela. We heard so much about Deacon's band that I didn't care about and Beth and Deacon's romance that I also didn't care about. The story also spoiled everything that happened with the cult so all of the flashbacks weren't surprising or scary because I knew what would happen. I also predicted the ending so early on and it's an ending I absolutely hate; it's a “The Deep” by Nick Cutter type of ending that was just so disappointing and terrible. UGHHHH
