Ah, I’m never going to be able to resist a cult story, but a cult story set in an abandoned creepy amusement park…oh yes, please.
I’ve read Shipp before, but not a lot and a really long time ago, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What it turned out to be is a fun, very well written, and trippy AF adventure with one woman, Phina, short for Seraphina, insinuating herself into a local cult i.e. community of like minds to find out what happened to her sister. The sister by all appearance and evidence has fallen and is now in a coma, so she can’t tell. And the cultish place where this occurred does seem initially suspicions. But these suspicions prove difficult to maintain once Phina actually gets involved with the community. Because at worst they are kooky and at best they are rather lovely, and surely, not murderers, are they? Then again, you never know with people. After all, if they were all as nice as they seemed, who’d be doing all the killing? And so, this trippy character-driven dram is actually a suspense/murder mystery to boot, which is pretty awesome. Plus, it’s fun and reads very quickly. So come, see what searching for purpose may dredge up. Read, enjoy, and be merry. Recommended. Thanks Netgalley.
