If you’re like me, you will be incredibly frustrated through-out this book. That is what makes this story so damn terrifying, it means the average person can be pulled into something so twisted and toxic. Emily doesn’t have a strange or uncommon upbringing – yes, she is lonely and depressed but it’s something that many of us go through at some point in our lives. She comes from a decent family, but has a damaged relationship with her father since her mother died. Our main character, Emily is incredibly relatable. I also loved that at the beginning of many of the sections there are little descriptions on the step-by-step process of what people like the ones in The Kingdom do to secure that their members are fully in and giving up more and more of their lives to the church, the deeper they go. What I really liked about Those Who Prey is that it starts at the beginning with an intelligent young adult girl at the beginning and you see exactly how she is sucked in and manipulated into becoming part or something that from the outside seems ludacris and toxic. Most of the YA books that I’ve read that have centered around cults, usually start with the main character already in the cult. It doesn’t take long at all before Emily is full on committed to all her new friends, her budding romance with one of the members and, of course, The Kingdom. They quickly invite her to a Bible study and from there she is invited to be a study partner with one of the girls from the religious sect referred to as The Kingdom. Emily has become really isolated since moving away to school and when she is invited to this instant friend group, she is eager to please and keep her friends happy. Those Who Prey centers around a young girl (Emily) who is in her first year at University, away from home and not really fitting in when she is approached by a young guy (Josh) that brings her into his friend group. I had a feeling I would love this book and I am excited to say, I was right and this is likely to hit my top ten for 2020. I had Those Who Prey on my radar for awhile now, the second I heard about it, I put it on my most anticipated list for 2020. We’ve got a book about cults people! Yes, I know it’s highly disturbing material, but I am always drawn to books on cults – they are incredibly equal parts fascinating and horrifying to me.
