Only the Guilty Survive

Only the Guilty Survive by Kate Robards


Claire is the only survivor of a cult called the Flock.... There has always been an air of wonder around her.. How did she survive? Did she do something to the rest of the cult? What really happened to her friends and will remembering help her or hurt her?

Um... OK so I love the idea of a cult. I also understand the logic of having the past and present... Claire POV is the present but not in the past, which is a little weird as far as cohesion to the story but ok.. Let's move past that. Claire cannot remember what happened and how she survived. The story doesn't move very fast but there are some super interesting themes that kept me engaged enough to make the book decent.

I didn't like Claire, which is a huge thumbs down for me, even though I understand the author was going for an unreliable narrator, I find you still have to find a connection to the character and she irritated me a lot. I liked the past better than the present day and the twist was a little uninspiring but there was enough here to entertain anyone who likes a good cult book. 3.75 stars.
