I rarely quit books, but this one I did.  I got close to the halfway point and wasn't connecting with Anna and in a surprise even to myself didn't care to find out where her story would go.  

Anna is sixteen and from my reading had a sudden onset of depression and her parents can't seem to find the thing that will help her.  In walks neighbors who belong to a religious cult and Anna thinks that this could be the thing to help, but does it?

I thought this book would be right up my alley as I like to read books that look at religion from all angles - I was a religious studies minor, but even reading to and beyond that introduction, I still wasn't invested in Anna enough to continue on.

No longer interested in reading as I clear through old galleys.

Teenage angst and the religious cult doesn't mix well. 

Depressed teenager Anna discovers a religious cult immersed in rapture and soaks in its teachings and her own visions. 

Sounds interesting? Yes, but it is not. It is sa psychedelic, angst-filled ride, but this ride has no aim, almost no interesting plot and a very little literary "fuel" to keep your interest. 

I would go for 1 star, but there are few interesting thoughts and I liked the character of no-nonsense teacher Ms Thadeous.

Thank you for the chance to review this book, however I could not seem to connect with it, probably just my mood. So I will not be reviewing it beyond this little note to you.  Thank you again
