I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 Hauntingly beautiful. People love to ask of cults: How? How could someone get roped into something like that? How could someone commit a horrendous crime in the name of a group? This book does an amazing job of exploring the mindset of someone who has no where to go, so they turn to a messiah. Clearly based off the Manson murders, this book didn't feel too contrived or cliche. This book is terrifying and brilliant.
