But Noah, like Scarlett's nonbiological parents, was able to take a step back and question everything he ever knew. It would go against everything you've ever been taught and not many people would be willing to have their minds changed like that.

Coming out of the cult for Noah would be like if someone explained to you one day that two plus three was actually seven. We believe what we're taught and although it may be easy for outsiders to think that human sacrifice is horrific and has no effect on our lives, human sacrifice was a very common thing at one point in time across many different cultures. And the fact that Noah was able to turn away from everything he ever knew for her must have been so hard.

Also, Noah and Scarlett were just so cute, which is exactly how I felt about Summer and Lewis so I guess I just really like the couples Natasha Preston is able to come up with. I tend to forget that cults are actually real and not something that used to be or just something for a good TV storyline. The fact that it was a cult was astounding to me. I knew early on that Noah needed Scarlett for something and that she was going to be sacrificed, but my mind instantly went to the supernatural, like vampires or something.

My Review: This book was absolutely riveting.
