My thanks to NetGalley and True Light Publications Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Title for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

When I heard about this book, I was very interesting in reading it. The author had experienced a cult that was pretending to be Christian and this book was explaining what had happened.

Ok, this book needs a LOT of editing. The author is a letter writer. She apparently copies her letters to others and sends them to a lot of people. She shares these letters, repeatedly, with the reader. She also shares transcripts of conversations and diary entries. They are all repetitive and take away from the story. This is just my opinion, but it may have been better to have the letters, diary entries and transcripts that weren't overly pertinent to the story in the back of the book as an appendix, with a note to connect the part of the book with that part of the appendix.

It is a VERY big accusation to say that a Bible study group is not worshipping God, but is in fact a cult being led by the devil. So one would think that there would be evidence to back up this claim. There is, at 14% and 23% of the way into the book. The rest is mostly rambling letters and diary entries.

Now, I do not doubt that the claim is true. What was said at 14% and 23% of the book came through, despite being surrounded by very verbose letters. However I think this book would be easier to read if the evidence was produced sooner and in chronological order.

I got to 26% and it got too meta for me. From what I could gather, she was reproducing a letter to someone, in which she had copied other letters for that person. So I was reading a letter being quoted, that was in turn quoting other letters and I just had to call it quits. It was too much for me. I couldn't tell where she was addressing the reader and where she was addressing the recipient of the letter.

I get it. This was a cult, they weren't following God, the author is full of the Holy Spirit and she loves the people in the group/cult and wants them to repent and be saved so they won't go to hell.

I was hoping for more explanation of how lies were being masqueraded as truth, for a timeline of her being drawn in. What I got was a jumbled mess, with the truth popping out here and there.

This was just not for me. I do not doubt the veracity of what the author went through or the truth of the group not being what it was claiming to be, but I just can't get behind the way in which this book was written. With a good and patient editor, this book would be four stars or more. As it is now, 1 star and I can't recommend it to anyone.

The letters in this collection is dark and sometimes harsh. It is not exactly the book for me as I was only able to get through a quarter through before I felt dragged down and depressed. I have no idea what happens in the middle or towards the end. I felt this book was long and drawn out way more than necessary. Thank you for the opportunity.
