This was a totally interesting read, and I still can't pinpoint why. The topic was about a group of religious zealots (or cult) who live in their own en cove. For most of the world, being able to peer into this world is a little like voyeurism. Add into that concept rambunctios teenage girls who are trying to find themselves while they go into town and you will find yourself not being able to even put the book down. Or at the least, pouting when you do have to put it down. This is kind of like a coming of age novel for the main character, but I would read this as an adult, not as a teen. A good book overall and worth every minute you put into it! 5 Stars!

....................I just realized that this story continues, so this is Book 1 of Eve's journey (the character), and I can't wait to go on in the series!
