Okay, this book started out pretty good and held my interest, it had several unexpected twists and turns.Dana Barnes is a young woman who had checked into a facility for a short recovery dealing with depression.When she checks out she gets into the car with her boyfriend, Tyler, and they wind up at a motel, but the next morning Tyler is nowhere to be found. When she reports him missing Dana has a hard time convincing people that Tyler is real and the reader wonders if he is also because there is no dialogue including Tyler. She gets into a deeper mess when she shows up a commune where her sister lives with her husband, evidently the commune leader. The whole scene screams cult. Now for the but-the book turns into a low budget horror movie; the heroine has more crazy people after her than she can almost handle and everything becomes a blood bath. The woman is able to off more people with more weapons than you could imagine. It was, pardon the pun, overkill. A good book turned bad right at the end. I am giving a rating of three because the first three-fourths is actually interesting.
