Customer Reviews
Good
This is a good book. I’m dragged at times but it’s worth I to keep reading.
A woman on the run and a man who’s vowed to protect her.
The romance is a slow burn and the suspense is nail biting on the edge of your seat.
Cult stealing young girls
Located in Oregon, a cult selling prophesy, sex slaves, drugs, weapons, and belief in The Light. Not unlikely there imo. They get stymied in the end and everyone rescued!
Capital T for Trauma
Interesting plot with a controlling cult, charismatic cult leader, and strong heroine on the run with the help of her hero. Plot moves quickly.
I didn’t find the misogynistic hero very likable or the romance believable due to how the heroine’s years of intense trauma was glossed over, but different folks like different things.
CW: physical and mental abuse, graphic SA, dr*g abuse, homelessness, vomiting. HEA.
