I received this in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. Thank you to the author, Aleatha Romig, and the publisher, Thomas & Mercer, for this opportunity. 
 This three-person-perspective narrative juggled thrills, romance, crime, and suspense in a seamless and exciting blend. Sara Adams awakens after a mysterious accident, unable to remember her former life. Her husband, Jacob Adams is helping to reconcile her with her role in the religious sect they belong to, labelled The Light. Stella Montgomery is investigating the mysterious disappearances of young girls in the Detroit area. How are all three connected? 
 The particulars concerning the cult were unnerving to read about. The indoctrinated individuals made for frustrating (in the good sense) reading, as the reader was privileged with more information than many of the characters. But that is where Romig has us deceived! 
 This balanced a healthy amount of suspense inside a plot full of unguessable twists, which made for utterly compelling reading. And it culminated into one of the most finely executed and shocking conclusions I have ever read! Romig had me fooled, and I can't wait to read the next instalment of this duology to discern what other surprises this has to deliver.
