"The Compound by Robin Mahle is a suspenseful thriller following a woman 20 years after she escapes from a cult who reluctantly returns close to home for a location movie filming. <br/>The job pays well, and it’s her chance to move up in the industry. No one knows who she really is except for her Aunt who took her in at 13 yrs old and her Aunt didn’t want her to return to that horrible place. <br/>It’s been 20 years, she can handle being just outside where her entire family was brutally murdered for a few weeks. Right? Everyone from that time was either in jail or died so she has nothing to fear going back for a short time for a job. Little does she know that she hasn’t escaped the cult completely after all this time and strange things happen after she returns. <br/><br/>Is she going mad? <br/>Is there a copycat killer? <br/>Or <br/>Did someone from her past survive that horrific night, know who she is, and want revenge?<br/><br/>-Multiple POV<br/>-Cult survivor <br/>-Hidden Identity <br/>-Small town<br/>-PTSD<br/>-Copycat Murders<br/>-Flashbacks<br/>-Family Massacre<br/>-Trust no one<br/>-Haunting past<br/><br/>This book kept me guessing, and the culprit was a surprise as well as the ending. It was a quick read and overall I did enjoy it. <br/><br/>Netgalley and the publisher Joffe Books gave me an ARC of this book before its release in exchange for an honest review."

"The whole book was extremely great and crazy! It really surprised me when Eli found out that the other siblings were being used as a food source. Did you have a favorite part? "
