Terrific! Not at all what I expected. Mia has been living for the past few years in Edenton, a small community of people that is 'ruled' by a preacher who has been luring people into his fanatical followers. Edenton is suppose to be a new start, help people and provide a safe sense of security and r...
I would like to thank the author for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Doing so does not sway my opinion in any way.When I first started reading so many different cults and religions popped into my mind; the compound on the HBO series Big Love, Branch Davidians, str...
I received this book for free from Book Nerd Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. My Initial Reaction… Escape from Eden immediately sucked me in and held my attention until the very end. The characters were very well wri...
I just can't and more than that I really don't want to. The writing is not bad and the story though awful at the moment has a lot of potential. I'm just not in the right "head space" to read this right now. *DNF so no rating.

And life is generally peaceful, so she dreams but doesn't act. But that's until something awful happens, a...
