 If this book was just about Travis and the cult I probably would've loved this book. But after his chapters the plot just became jumbled. The ending was very anticlimactic and left me wanting more.

I spent most of the book confused, and the twists and explanations felt like a reach but a very original plot and like-able main characters. “The Village (2004)” vibes.

The premise of the book was interesting, I really liked the beginning.  It kind of felt anticlimactic/like it didn’t deliver though? Like the answers were given but not in a satisfying way… The switch in narration sort of gave away one of the reveals (not all of it, but if you were paying attention it was fairly easy to spot). Also I wish Bee & Travis' abilities were more explored! It was a quick read though and nice to read on this rainy day!
