This was the most horrendous book I have ever read. I have read many, many true crime books, but this book bothered me more than any book I have ever read. I was appalled by what people in a Satanic cult do, especially to children. When I wasn't reading the book I was thankful for normalcy and goodness, and almost didn't want to read anymore of such dark, evil things.
