What a page turner! I was hooked right from the start. You think you know what‘s going on, then it gets turned on you as you hear a different version of something. Really well done. I wish it ended just slightly differently, it was a bit too abrupt at the end. But otherwise great.

It only took me seven years to get around to reading this book but I am so glad I did. Lee Miller was better known for being a model and her associations with artists when she became the first American female war correspondent in 1944. This collection of her writings and photographs for Vogue from was compiled by her son who had no idea of his mother‘s war reporting until finding her papers well after her death. #24in2024

Texreader What a great photo!! I love that women were war correspondents. Absolutely incredible that her son didn‘t know about it! 3mo
Jas16 @Texreader He said that growing up she never talked about the war. I cannot imagine finding out something so huge when she is not around to ask about it. Her reporting was really wonderful too. 3mo

I don't watch or listen to dramatized real crime shows. This book is about a real crime show, with entire chapters describing the setup and film directions of the show. I find it boring. Just not my thing.

Pretty decent. The story was really good but The documentary stuff kinda got long. But it was a good twist and turn book. The ending surprised me for sure. Was not at all what I was expecting when I picked up the book.

He had been committed, absorbed and unthinking. Intentionally, because the story was so good. So good he felt like he‘d been damaged by it, permanently.

As a lover of horror, I‘m a little ashamed to say this my first Adam Neville read. Even though I think this could have been trimmed down slightly (it‘s 530 pgs), I enjoyed this one. Kyle, a struggling film documentarian, thinks his problems may have been solved when he is asked to shoot a documentary about the 1970s notorious cult, Temple of the Last Days. The film schedule is tight and strange things occur as Kyle and his ⬇️

Bookzombie cameraman travel around the world to shoot locations and interviews. Cults are creepy to me even when well lit, so there was a lot of creepiness in this book for me. #Booked2022 #aboutacult #almostachunksterchallenge 3y

I enjoyed this book. A week later and I am still thinking about it. There were some creepy parts and I will never look at stains on the wall in the same way. I love books about cults and this cult is truly terrifying.
The book did feel overlong. The character Max seemed to have long explanations that could have been shorter. The supernatural aspect of this was disturbing. How can you fight an otherworldly demon?

TheLibrarian Stacked! I also enjoy reading books about cults and I love your planter! 3y
