Haven't raced through a book like this in a while! Enjoyed the before/after narrative structure, and I really liked the main character.
Fascinating world building but the characters’ voices are unrealistically articulate for teenagers who grew up in an isolated cult.
really well written, bittersweet and harrowing and suspenseful in the best way

Quite an interesting fictional story of a girl who lived in a cult, after the cult has had a situation similar to Waco.
!!!!! too many feels still for a review. Amazing cult YA!!!
Young adult novel about a disturbing life in a cult commune. Well written, interesting perspectives, but again, it gives an insight to horrible cults.
Absolutely loved it. From the very first page, where Moonbeam describes some of the events in the base, I was sucked into the story and found it hard to stop! I just NEEDED to know what had happened.
Moonbeam is such a remarkable, strong young woman. The things she and her brothers and sisters have witnessed and lived through are horrifying. I won’t say anything about the events, because I don’t want any spoilers. Just trust me when I say, it’s worth reading.
The book was written in the past and present. The past explaining everything that happened at the base, from Moombeam’s point of view, and the present taking part in a facility that is trying to help survivors deal with the traumatising events they witnessed. It is the perfect mix.

This story is inspired by the real events of David Koresh and what happened in Waco Texas. I personally am fascinated by cults and how members believe in something so strongly that they will give up anything for that belief.
The story surrounds the cult Holy Church of the Lords Legion. The chapters are broken into before and after with the main character Moonbeam recalling events in her therapy sessions.
I really enjoyed the story and was thankful for the ending.
