The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly

The Bookworm says... Yes! The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes was pretty good! The Kevinian cult has taken everything from Minnow, and in rebellion, her hands. Now that the Prophet has been murdered and their settlement in the woods burned to the ground, Minnow is locked behind bars. Set in a compromise with an FBI agent, if Minnow can help him find the murderer of the Prophet, he will recommend her for parole. She can have her freedom if she can free herself from the secrets of her past. 

While sometimes gory and horrifying, this book was generally very thought provoking. There's no denying that the plot is twisted and wrong, but it is written in such a way that it doesn't matter. I thought the book had been spoiled for me by a sticky note found inside, but it turned out even whoever read this before me didn't predict the ending correctly. Very well written, The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly will have you shivering with anticipation. 

"It is amazing that, though I am small and I gifted and barely educated, even I can appreciate the scale of the universe."
