I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley from the author/published in exchange for an honest review.

When Caitlin runs away from her alcoholic father shortly after the death of her mentally ill mother, she goes to New York to be somewhere new and alone. When she meets Jake, everything falls into place until he brings her to his 'family' - a strange commune in the countryside, and she's immediately sucked into their strange reclusive way of living and listening to their charismatic leader.

This is a really well-written twisty turny thriller that I throughly enjoyed from start to finish. Caitlin is definitely a bit of a lost case from the start and as a reader I really felt for her and while at the same time I was slightly embarrassed by how desperate she was for friends, I also really wanted to her find someone and Jake was perfect.

So much in this book feels off but right at the same time. The camp is almost like a fitness camp for a majority of the book, and I mean who wouldn't want to go somewhere where you get thin and eat healthy. It didn't seem so bad until it did. I loved how much I just wanted Caitlin to get out of there but at the same time understood why she wanted to stay. I find the way cult leaders are written in books really interesting and I think Emma Didin nailed Don in this book. He's very fatherly and just wants to take care of everyone - why wouldn't you confide in him and want to listen to him.

I enjoyed the end but I maybe would have liked a bit more of a thrill. This had more of an uncomfortable feeling. I also would have liked more info on what happened to everyone else - especially Tyra and Mary/Robin.
