bookshelves: arcs, 2022, nonfiction

Cults are fascinating to me because of the mystery that surrounds them. I loved the deep dive approach with each cult that the author brought forward. I learned what created the mystery and how the leader kept his/her followers invested.

I feel like I knew things because of the culture like “drinking the Koolaid� or “Helter Skelter� but I never knew the context until now. I also appreciated the humanity that was give to the victims, known and unknown. I was invested in the story and how it was told.

My only complaint is a personal preference. I am not a fan of long chapters and each cult was one chapter without division. It didn’t take away from the quality of the material but it did impact my enjoyment.

I received an arc via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
