The Threshing Floor
Steph Nelson
She'll do anything to save her child. Even join a cult. When single mom Dalice learns her toddler, Cash, needs a heart transplant, she gets desperate. There are no guarantees he’ll receive a donor heart in time. And even if he does, she can’t afford the expensive procedure. Then Dalice meets Shane. He’s part of a mysterious group whose leader claims to be able to heal any disease or injury. Dalice is skeptical at first, and the ritual she witnesses makes her uneasy. But when a broken arm gets healed before her eyes, she can’t deny the truth, and she wants the same miracle for Cash. As her son’s life hangs in the balance, Dalice must decide how far she’s willing to go to save him. Because the miracles in the secret group come at a steep price. A price that might be too high for even the most devoted mother.

0Rating: 5+ stars! I loved this book.
This is the second book I’ve read by the author and I was lucky enough to get the ARC through NetGalley. As any true-crime girlie would say, I love to read anything about cults — fictional or not. It was so interesting reading and understanding how someone can get so blinded by the idea of a “faith healer”, especially when one’s son has a heart problem.
I throughly enjoyed how relatable and interesting the characters were and I feel like Nelson knocked the cult aspect out of the park. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.
I will say to check trigger warnings beforehand but otherwise I highly recommend this book to any fellow true-crime girlies or people that enjoy thrillers!
0I was a huge fan of "The Final Scene," Steph Nelson's last release. This one had a strong plot, likeable characters, but fell short with editing and tone in certain parts. If you like thrillers with culty aspects, this is a good KU read.
