Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.
Stella Montgomery investigates the news on the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella investigates—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.
As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price…
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
OMG My heart is beating like mad outta my chest. AHHH. I need people. I need a support group. I need to TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK!! Now all of you people who love Aleatha’s dark stuff…this isn’t really dark and not the DARK DARK like her other books. As I told my scaredy pants bestie, this is a book you can read. This book is a mystery and suspense. I kept turning the pages to know “Why?” or “Who?” and then it was “but are they bad?” or even “ but why are they doing it?” This book kept me going. When I THOUGHT I had stuff figured out…BOOM I was wrong and then the new twist made me read even harder and faster. BOOM another bombshell and I kinda thought maybe I know where this will be headed but wow was I so off base and ugh….SEE Support group is needed. People you need to know what is my head and it needs to come out…..do you know how hard this review is going to be!!????? Spoiler Free it shall be but OMG PEOPLE!!! BUY THE BOOK and then PLEASE for the love of Father Gabriel and The Light, talk to me!!!
I FLoved the book and how we had multiple POV’s because honestly you need them. I loved reading Sara’s struggle to understand why if she is a member of The Light then why is her memory gone? Then reading Stella’s parts of the story and her desperate need to find her best friend who disappeared out of nowhere.
The story flows sooooo well and you learn which characters to be weary. You also learn quickly who is good and who is not good. Who to trust and who to conceal your truths from.
