Somehow I missed this Nora book.
Maybe I skipped it because it sounded scary. It is definitely written during the time of Satanic Panic. A small town with a secret society operating under the radar. Me. In high places cavorting in the woods makes seeking power from Satan. Well the leader is. The rest just like an excuse to use drugs and have group sex. Small minds and all that.
It is well written but the number of cigarettes all the characters smoked was distressing. Also the fact that the whole satanic thing was blown way out of proportion.
It’s not one I’ll read again but it was a decent story.
Not my favorite NR. It started a little slow for me but it was still good.
