I must say Heather Graham is a new author to me so I was excited to get to read this new book. 

Book Description

On the edge of the Everglades, an eerie crime scene sets off an investigation that sends two agents deep into a world of corrupted faith, greed, and deadly secrets.

A ritualistic murder on the side of a remote road brings in the Florida state police. Special Agent Amy Larson has never seen worse, and there are indications that this killing could be just the beginning. The crime draws the attention of the FBI in the form of Special Agent Hunter Forrest, a man with insider knowledge of how violent cults operate, and a man who might never be able to escape his own past.

The rural community is devastated by the death in their midst, but people know more than they are saying. As Amy and Hunter join forces, every lead takes them further into the twisted beliefs of a dangerous group that will stop at nothing to see their will done.

Doomsday preppers and small-town secrets collide in this sultry, twisty page-turning thriller.

My thoughts

This book was gripping. As someone who loves a good thriller or even a good crime drama now and again this book was hitting many laters with me. 

We have the physiological layer of what people can do to a person's mind when in a cult. We had gritty gruesome murders and we even had a small bit of romance.

Mix with that a dark and seedy atmosphere and it was the perfect setting for this book.

Once I started reading it I could not put it down. It held me captivated and I was willing to stay a captive. With each page I turned I felt myself being pulled in deeper into the dark and eerie place. 

It was truly a bone-chilling book to read.
