The Children of Red Peak by Craig DiLouie

The Children of Red Peak are the only survivors of the religious cult that disappeared 15 years ago. David, Deacon, Beth and Angela survived a childhood that started in a lush farm, surrounded by love, but ended in the desert, covered in blood - but no bodies. What happened at Red Peak?

This is a story about PTSD, survivors guilt and trauma. This is also the story of a cult. This is ALSO the story of broken people, looking for answers. All the 'children' have grown up and reunite at a funeral. They struggle with the reconnection with each other and the reminders of their former life. They also struggle with the missing memories and pieces of what happened.

Craig DiLouie had me from page 1 of this books. Cults terrify and excite me and this was an engrossing take. It's about beginnings and endings and everlasting love.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.
