The Children of Red Peak

I am BITTER. At the beginning, I really thought this was gonna be a new favorite. I loved the cult and the descriptions, how it was looking at trauma and religion. I was stoked. But then, it took such a nosedive. We focused on two characters I didn't care about at all the whole time when all I wanted to hear from was David and Angela. We heard so much about Deacon's band that I didn't care about and Beth and Deacon's romance that I also didn't care about. The story also spoiled everything that happened with the cult so all of the flashbacks weren't surprising or scary because I knew what would happen. I also predicted the ending so early on and it's an ending I absolutely hate; it's a “The Deep” by Nick Cutter type of ending that was just so disappointing and terrible. UGHHHH
