I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really like stories about writers, regardless of genre. While I am an avid reader, I have very little skill when it comes to writing anything. And believe me, I’ve tried. So I have a lot of respect for…
I’m always fascinated by cults and I always grab any book that deals with this subject matter so that it might help me understand the mentality behind cults better.
