That is, until their friends start being killed off one by one. Everyone seems to be holding a secret. Some more deadly them others.
First, I hated the format of this book. It annoyed me to death. Did every chapter have to start with scene markers? I didn't like any of the characters and there was no bonding with them. It was a bunch of teens running around a castle being idiots while their friends get murdered. ...more

If you are still here, I hope you have some tissues because Beyfuss is about to traumatize your life. Avery lives in a cult. In fact, Avery's family is the whole cult because Avery's daddy has apparent trust issues. I mean of course he is out of his mind because hello he is a cult leader. Some terrible things happen to Avery, and by the fourth chapter you will search Google for online therapists.
A fire erupts, giving way to an escape for Avery and her brother Cole. They try the homeless life for a hot minute until they get arrested. Then all kinds of hell breaks loose. Avery and Cole discover a horrible secret that will destroy their lives forever.
