The Night Burns Bright

Very Intersting

Lucien and his mother are in a cult. But seeing the cult through Lucien's eyes is different. He is still a child and this is the only life he has ever known. We as readers know where this eventually will lead. We want to see him get out. But, how can he still obeys his mother and elders. But there is that golden age between 12 and 13 when you start to question authority.
Very well written and very hard to put down. I almost put the book down in the first few pages because I really did not like how Lucien was being treated and thought this book was going in a different direction. Glad I decided to stick it out. Since this was an Amazon first read there were not many reviews so I needed to decide for myself. The book is fascinating, sad, suspenseful and engrossing all at the same time. This is not a mystery but a very good work of fiction
