Abby Mullen Thrillers #3
A Burning Obsession
In this conclusion of the Abby Mullen Thrillers by the New York Times bestselling author of A Killer’s Mind, a hostage negotiator has one last chance to stop a deadly threat from her past.
When a series of suspicious fires leaves multiple victims dead in their homes, NYPD hostage negotiator Abby Mullen knows in her bones that the terrors of her childhood have returned. As a young girl, she narrowly escaped a fire set by Moses Wilcox, a fanatical cult leader who’s been presumed dead for thirty years. These murders have his fingerprints all over them.
Meanwhile, razor-sharp criminal profiler Zoe Bentley is investigating the arsons—but she’s never seen an offender like this. Zoe needs insight from someone who understands the mind of a cult leader. Someone like Abby Mullen.
As the unlikely duo teams up on the case, it’s time for Abby to face the memories she’s always wanted to forget: the cult that defined her childhood, the fire that killed her family, and the man who engineered it all. The race is on to catch a killer—even if it means braving the fiery wreckage of Abby’s past.

Mike Omer knows how to build suspense, develop characters, add action and atmosphere, and keep readers on the edge of their seats. The third and final book in this series,
A Burning Obsession
, continues to feature Abby Mullen. She’s a lieutenant with the New York City hostage negotiation team, a mother of two children, divorced, and she experienced childhood trauma when she was seven. When a series of suspicious fires leaves victims dead in isolated homes, she believes an adult escaped the fires of her childhood and is once again a threat after 30 years. After a lot of research, she contacts the FBI and connects with criminal profiler Zoe Bentley and Agent Tatum Gray. Is Moses Wilcox back in action or are these unrelated fires? What could be their connection?
Abby’s character is well developed. Readers get insight into both her personal and professional lives as well as her strengths and vulnerabilities. They also get great insight into Zoe. Both are strong, successful, and determined women. However, Abby’s childhood has had an impact on her. Can she face her past? Zoe tends to clash with others in authority. She says what she thinks rather than what could be said to get cooperation. Other characters vary in depth, but provide support, conflict, or interest. The author combines concise, clear physical descriptions that are supplemented with demonstrations of their weaknesses.
An intriguing and memorable opening scene will immediately pull most readers into the story. That scene is vivid and painful to imagine. The suspense is built gradually as characters are introduced and readers begin to get a sense of what is to come. When the action started, this reader eagerly turned the pages with nervous anticipation. Who will survive? How will the situation be resolved? What an ending! Will you guess what happens?
This novel is a creative, complex, and well-paced tale with layers and twists that will keep a reader guessing. High stakes and an all-too-real situation kept me engaged throughout the story. There are some shocking and disturbing scenes as it unfolds. The people in the story came to life, and I was cheering on the police as they worked desperately toward a resolution. Themes include work relationships, family relationships, death, abuse, and much more.
Overall, this amazing thriller with intense moments and action kept me turning the pages. There was enough background in the novel that it worked well as a standalone. However, reading the previous books adds background and more insight into Abby’s character. Those who enjoy crime thrillers may want to check out this series. I’m looking forward to reading what Mike Omer writes next.

A Burning Obsession is considered the third in the Abby Mullen series, but it also includes Zoe Bentley and Tatum Gray.
It starts off with Moses Wilcox and his cult burning a man in his house alive. Abby shows up in Wyoming to investigate, at the sort of request of Gray. As Zoe was out of the room when the good Lord handed out tact, there’s a lot of humor as Abby watches Zoe deal with the local police force. In fact, I was surprised by the amount of humor in this book.
This is the third and final book in the series and this is a series best read in order. All the books involve Abby’s childhood history with a cult and the prior books give that background in detail.
The story is told from an omniscient POV which keeps the plot moving at a brisk pace. Omer presents an in depth look into cults and their ability to ensnare people.
The book has a hell of an ending (in both the figurative and literal sense).
My thanks to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advance copy of this book.

This book brings together Lieutenant Abby Mullen, a hostage negotiator with the NYPD, and Zoe Bentley, a criminal profiler consultant for the FBI. There has been a series of arsons in which somebody has died. Not just died, they were bound hand and foot and burned to death in these deliberately started blazes.
Abby has been following these deaths and thinks they are the work of her biological father - cult leader Moses Wilcox. After all they echo the blaze that killed most of his followers when she was just a child. Zoe is not convinced but it doesn’t take long until she realises that Abby is onto something and so they end up working together along with Zoe’s long suffering partner, Tatum.
Moses is now going by the name of Moses Williams but these fires have Wilcox’s fingerprints all over them. He has started a new cult and his fanatical followers are ready to die for him and believe his nonsense about a second baptism by fire.
When Delilah’s abusive husband is found burned to death and Delilah and her children appear to be missing it becomes a race against time to find and stop Williams/Wilcox for once and for all. Zoe must defer to Abby’s experience in hostage negotiation and cult behaviour but Abby must face the demons of her past. Wilcox appears to be certifiably insane but somehow has a stranglehold on his brainwashed followers.
This was a fast paced thriller as the cult moved around and always seemed to be one step ahead of the authorities. The finale was very tense and exciting and the outcome was not assured. Apparently this is the end of the Abby Mullen trilogy. I’ll be very keen to see what Mike Omer has for us next. Thanks to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the much appreciated arc which I reviewed voluntarily and honestly.

Zdecydowanie najlepsza, niepokojąca i najbardziej intrygująca część cyklu. Bardzo dobre zakończenie serii!

Big thanks to Thomas & Mercer and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of A Burning Obsession!!
In this third book of the series, NYPD hostage negotiator Abby Mullen investigates a series of suspicious fires that leaves multiple victims dead in their homes. She's teamed up with criminal profiler Zoe Bentley, as she is also forced to deal with the things she wants most to forget: The cult her parents were a part of when Abby was a child, and the insane man who was the leader of it.
The pace of A Burning Obsession was as relentless as it was fascinating. There were some parts that were on the gruesome side but the humorous parts of the story balanced them, in my opinion. I absolutely didn't want the book to end!
How I have loved this trilogy! It saddens me to know the time has come to say goodbye to Abby. She's a wonderful character.
Oh! I just found out Mr. Omer has written books featuring Zoe Bentley! I'm stoked!!

Not as gripping as the first two books in the Abby Mullen series but still a good read.
The previous books were cult-adjacent; this book is cult-centric. And I just don't like reading about cults.
No matter how much I've studied the phenomenon of people being recruited, love bombed, and then trapped, it's still hard for me to grasp how someone doesn't see the writing on the wall.
The plot meandered somewhat, and there wasn't enough tension. The ending was disappointing also. I feel like it left a big gaping hole where a door should have been.
Abby is awesome though, smart, savvy, and relatable.
I will definitely read another book/series by this author.

Mike Omer brings out a final novel in the Abby Mullen series, which has been impactful throughout its short run. There is much to solve and reveal, which Omer does in short order while keeping his protagonist on her toes. Adding some time with Zoe Bentley, Omer shows how he can mix his series protagonists together, while battling demons that Abby Mullen thought that she put to rest. A fiery end to the series will force Mullen to face her fears and Bentley to realise that she does not know it all. Mike Omer at his best, sure to impress series fans,.
A number of suspicious fires burn houses down and produce heated graves for victims, which is something that triggers NYPD hostage negotiator Abby Mullen. Having grown up in a cult where fire was the predominant means of asserting authority, Mullen knows the power the flame, and leader Moses Wilcox. Having long been thought dead, Wilcox has re-emerged and is leading his flock across the country, burning houses down in a form of ‘second baptism’ to show willingness to adopt the cause.
Sending one of its best to the crime scene, FBI criminal profiler Zoe Bentley is on hand to catch the killer through a series of psychological analyses. Bentley is sure she has a lock on the killer, but Mullen has the inside scoop and tries to insist that she knows Wilcox better than anyone. While the two women clash, they see their parallel desire to bring Wilcox to his knees and forge a truce, albeit a tentative one.
As Mullen confronts the past she kept long-buried and Bentley uses her textbook knowledge of all things criminal, both will have to complement one another if they want to catch Moses Wilcox once and for all. It will be an explosive end to things, but one could expect no less with Mike Omer in the writer’s seat. Series fans will surely rush to get their hands on this one, if only to see how Abby Mullen finds a sense of closure.
I discovered the work of Mike Omer by fluke, but have been excited to push through two of his stellar series. The writing is gripping and the themes prove addictive, as I tried to make sense of how two strong women, Bentley and Mullen, function in tandem while adding their own perspectives. He keeps the reader front and centre throughout the process, but never gives too much, hoping to shock and surprise the reader at every turn. There’s so much to take in with this book and fans of both Mullen and Bentley will be rushing to find solace in discovering how it all ends.
The Abby Mullen series requires a quick pace to get through all that there is a great deal to tackle. Mike Omer knows his audience and what makes them tick, presenting a piece that not only ties up loose ends but also adds new questions to the mix. Abby Mullen has to face some of her deeply buried childhood memories, which allows for some great development, but also helps contrast with the significantly professional Zoe Bentley who is out for her own pound of analytical flesh. These two women work well together, but also want to teach one another something, which adds a competitive edge to the piece. Strong plot twists and a race to the finish help the story and series achieve the greatness that Omer surely sought. I am not sure where things are headed for Omer or his two protagonists, but I am keenly aware that I will be there, impatiently waiting, to see what the coming years have to offer.
Kudos, Mr. Omer, for another success. You have me so curious and yet so ready to wait for your next stellar project.

My Rating System: 2⭐️⭐️ ticked very few boxes BARELY THERE
Abby is back in the finale of the series and she has to put her negotiator skills to the ultimate test facing off against a deadly threat from her past.
A spate of suspicious fires across the country that are leaving people dead in their homes sparks the attention of Abby Mullen and she just knows that it has to be Moses Wilcox the ominous figure from her past. Meanwhile, Zoe Bentley and FBI Agent Gray are hot on the tale of the arsonist.
The fanatical cult leader Moses Wilcox has re-emerged and reborn as Moses Williams and he is quickly gathering a large cult following preaching about the second baptism.
Can Abby and Zoe work together to solve this case before more people’s lives are ruined?
Ok, so I was super pumped for this one to come out, I’ve been waiting for it. I’ve read all the other books (loved them), read the Zoe Bentley Series (loved them too), I’ve even read the Glenmore Park Series (pretty much loved those too). It hurts me to say this but I suppose there was bound to be a bad apple in the bunch and I am sad to say this is it for me. 😭🍎
First of all this book was SO LONG , ok I’ll deal with that if we have a super long book full of excitement and fun. No… that did not happen in this one. There were whole pages and even chapters that were what I personally consider filler. Completely irrelevant and nonsense that was never mentioned again or revisited or just didn’t add any value at all to the story. 😰
I mean there is a whole chapter about a meaningless characters dislike for a certain kind of drink, a chapter about an escaped pet … never to be revisited … so what!! 🤦♀️
So, I went on, let’s overlook the length and the extra pages - the story itself A CROSSOVER OMG … so pumped to see Abby and Zoe in the book together. First of all their vibe was all wrong for me… I expected butting heads but I did not love how they interacted it got slightly better by the end but overall it was lacking. 🤯
The premise of this story was missing something, it felt like it revisited the same topic over and over. There was a lot of repetition and a lot of mentioning Abby’s big ears and Zoe’s eyes and so on… it would have been easy for me to put this one down and DNF it was kind of boring… and I was disappointed to say the least. 🤷♀️
Yes people were being burnt alive… you might say to me what the hell else do you want… I want a story with grunt and body and characters that vibe together whether they like each other or not. I want to be excited to pick up my kindle every change I get… not think of every single thing that is annoying me about it. 😩
The ending - well there was a huge plot hole for me that was never explored and I just felt like for a story that is the final a series I was expecting something a bit more - not in the action but in the after. It just came to a grinding halt ok thats it see ya…. I won’t spoil it for you, as there will be many that will absolutely love this and thats great but for me it was pretty much a miss. 🛑
The positives were that I do love that there was a crossover, the series has been wrapped up which is nice to know not waiting for another and another outstaying its welcome, there was a little appearance from a fan favourite in the Zoe series (no spoilers). ✔️
I will be looking forward to the new series that Mike Omer has talked about I will not give up because of one crappy book. ⏭

Uznany za zmarłego Moses Wilcox znowu się wyłania, by przy użyciu swojego kościoła palić ludzi żywcem. Nietypowe podpalenie w Douglas w stanie Wyoming alarmują porucznik Abby Mullen z nowojorskiej policji. Jako dziecko należała do sekty Wilcoxa, była jedną z trzech dzieci, które ocalały z pożaru, w którym zginęło niemal 60 osób. Do poszukiwań podpalacza włączają się federalni z Zoe Bentley na czele.
Pierwsze dwa tomy tej serii bardzo mi się podobały. Były to jedne z nielicznych powieści, w których tematykę sekty uważam za wiarygodną. W tej powieści Moses nadal ukazuje się jako charyzmatyczny przywódca, który jest w stanie zrobić pranie mózgu. Do tego elementu się nie czepiam. Natomiast mam wrażenie, że śledztwo ucierpiało z powodu wprowadzenia znanej z innej serii Zoe. Bentley miała swoją trylogię, a ta miała należeć do Abby. Autor skupił się na ukazaniu różnic osobowościowych między kobietami i to mu się udało. Jednak śledztwo stało się monotematyczne. Znudziło mnie te ich ciągłe ganianie za Mosesem.
Ten tom uważam za najsłabszy na tle innych stworzonych przez autora historii.

Все-таки самого замечательного маньячилу можно затаскать и переиспользовать до такой степени, что станет уже неинтересно.
С удивлением узнала из послесловия, что писать диалоги переговорщицы ему помогал специалист. Неужели они действительно так тупо и топорно это делают?

NYPD Lieutenant Abby Mullen is back. A month on from the harrowing events in Damaged Intentions. She is determined to hunt down Cult leader Moses Wilcox. Who also happens to be her biological father and her hunt leads her across the country to a series of fires in small towns where victims are left to burn alive and young women are disappearing nearby.
But out on a limb and far from her jurisdiction Abby needs help and finds herself teaming up with profiler Zoe Bentley. Who also happens to be hunting Moses.
However, the pair soon realise they're in a race against time. As a young mother and her two children have been reported missing by her husband who is burnt alive just hours later.
And with a sense of mounting danger, fantastic pacing and a gripping confrontation between Abby and Moses.This was a terrific read. That I stayed up well into the night to finish. As I just couldn't put it down.
I would happily recommend A Burning Obsession and the Abby Mullen Thrillers to all.

My 8th consecutive 3 * rating 😟. I had hoped this book would break this 3* streak, as I had rated the first 2 books in Abby Mullen series as 5 *. Unfortunately it didn't.
This didn't match my expectation from a Mike Omer book. I didn't feel invested in the story. It was also very low on humour, it felt like the author just wanted to fulfil his commitment to deliver the 3rd in the trilogy on time.
Zoe's character was annoying. She is the civilian consultant and not even a FBI agent still she bosses around saying who should be around in a crime scene. She was really not needed as a profiler in the story. It could have been anyone else.
This book needed some editing. I think some scenes were mixed up - the quick escape of a large number of cult members didn't make sense.
The last part was exciting. Mullen's negotiation skill was effectively implemented not only by Mullen but by others as well.
I wish Mike Omer writes more in the Glenmore Park series , I don't mind Zoe and Mullen as minor characters but don't want their own any more.
Thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for the ARC

I love Mike Omer's writing style. It connects with me because he flows the story very well. He doesn't try to overpower the story with strong words, rather he keeps it uncomplicated. This book offered up enough conflict and egregiousness to keep you entertained while finalizing some outstanding issues and blending in some satisfying outcomes. He is comparable to Robert Dugoni whose writings, I value.

I absolutely love this series! Book 3 and I'm hoping it's not over.
Abby is a crisis/hostage negotiator for NYPD. She's really good under pressure (knowledge is her oxygen) and she has an amazing ability to read people, talk them down, sympathize what they are going through and lead them to do what she wants them to do. She's good at it because training and determination, sure.
But she was also raised in a cult. And one of her last memories of the leader is the day he burned the whole congregation down.
I've been with Abby for 3 books now - 2 books really establishing who she is, what she can do, but also giving us the background of where she comes from and about the previous cult and leader. And here is, what I assume, is the final installment. The final showdown for Abby to come to terms with both her childhood, her previous upbringing and all her fears and regrets. It's a great conclusion, one that had me holding my breath and flipping pages. I wasn't 100% sure how it would all end. I loved finding out more about cults in general, as they researched this one, and Zoe's perspective of who runs them and some of their quirks. This was a great conclusion, one I was looking forward to but also sad if it means it's the end of the series.

An excellent ending to a fantastic series. The last of this trilogy wraps up Abby Mullen’s childhood cult horrors by finally bringing the readers face to face with Moses Wilcox. There’s plenty of negotiating, detective work and an inferno of a climax that makes for a great read.
Abby Mullen has finally traveled down a pattern of arsons that she believes has to do with her old cult leader - Moses Wilcox. However getting local law enforcement to get on board is harder than expected. Luckily Zoe and Tatum (characters from another series crossing over here) come along and help facilitate this. As Abby gets closer and closer to capturing Moses, he becomes even more desperate for the burning glory he is seeking.
Some of the best scenes are between Abby and Zoe. Two smart women figuring out how a psychopath works is a lot of fun to read. My one nitpick in this is that Moses doesn’t realize that Abby is following him anywhere so the chase feels a bit one sided. It was never clear what he wanted to do with her or why he goes from chasing her to running away from her. But if you ignore that plot hole a bit, the rest of it comes together really well. I’ll definitely miss these characters and hopefully will see them cross over elsewhere.

Nie zawiodłam się! Bardzo fajne wykorzystanie ognia, zarówno jako symbol wszystkiego, jak i ostateczne zakończenie sporu pomiędzy Abby i jej przeszłością. Cudownie też było zobaczyć połączone siły Abby i Zoe, którą znamy z pierwszej trylogii! Do tego wzmianka o Marvinie sprawiła, że wyszczerzyłam się jak głupia. Minęło tyle czasu, a ja wciąż twierdzę, że koleś powinien dostać własną książkę :). Nie mogę się już doczekać, aż znowu wsiąknę w wykreowany przez Omera świat!

The third (and I think final) book in this series, and definitely the weakest. If you read the author’s comments at the end, he says he had a hard time with this, and it really shows. The pacing feels off, it’s longer than it needs to be (lots of extraneous side plots that wouldn’t be missed), and ultimately, the story was kind of boring, which is sad, the first two books were quite good. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the crossover, didn’t love Zoe at all. So far, this sounds like I disliked this much more than I did, the mystery was good and the ending satisfying, it just needed an editor with a heavy hand and a big red pencil.

I am totally obsessed with Mike Omer ever since first reading one of his books. OMG! He is an amazing mystery/thriller author and I can't sing his praises enough.
A Burning Obsession’ is the third and final book in the Abbey Mullen series and I thought the way it ended was spot on! The series is in large part about a cult and Abbey's involvement in it as a young child. She had a heavy burden on her shoulders believing she was responsible for the death of others. I was 101% fully invested in this series and this last installment! FBI agent Zoe Bentley and Tatum Gray come together to help find the leader of the cult and evil-minded Moses Wilcox. The three formed a good team and I was thoroughly invested in their investigations into the cult and the truth of Abbey's time in it.
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishing company for giving me an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion which I have given.

Mike Omer really knows how to write a torturous suspense sequence. This one does not let any of the characters (or you) rest for even a second. I secretly loved how dastardly the villain is in the text (and series), and I’m equally impressed by the author’s choice to also keep a little part of him human. I think Omer probably had a lot of fun using religious rhetoric to fuel the fire of righteousness, redemption, and wholly (holy) wrongness (yes, all puns are intended).
While Abbie gets a little respite with Mr. Carver, I think Omer missed the opportunity to fan the flames between Zoe & Abbie. Clearly, they had a spark—let’s call it nerd chemistry—that could have been interesting. I hope he writes Zoe’s story next.
This was a decent conclusion to the series (unless, of course, he writes more). Some compelling characters who harness their own past traumas to prevent new ones from manifesting. A clever, tightly wound tale.

I really wanted to like A Burning Obsession by Mike Omer more than I did, but from the first chapter, I could not get invested in the story or the characters. The book was too long and very repetitive.
A Burning Obsession is the third installment of the Abby Mullens series and my least favorite of the series. The book wasn't bad, it was just too long and repetitive for me and didn't hold my attention.
I would rate this a 3 out of 5 stars.

A Burning Obsession is book three in the Abby Mullens Thrillers series. This is book two for me, but I am planning on reading book one so I will have read the whole series. I really believe when you read a series each book builds upon the previous and this is no exception. It can be read as a stand-alone, there are plenty of memories and back history carried over, but for me starting at the beginning is the best way to read a series.
Abby is a crisis/hostage negotiator for NYPD. Abby is calm in pressure situations, able to make others calm when listening to her. The more knowledge she has the better she is able to diffuse the situation.
NYPD Lieutenant Abby Mullen is determined to find Cult leader Moses Wilcox. She follows leads across the country to a series of fires in small towns where victims are left to burn alive and young women are disappearing nearby. Abby is sure that Moses is behind all of these events, but her help is not wanted. Abby is positive she is on to something and keeps following the clues until they finally believe her.
Abby joins forces with profiler Zoe Bentley. Who also happens to be hunting Moses. Each has their own profile of Moses and disagree that the other is incorrect. Abby's information of Moses is more person since he is her father. Much of what she knows is based on a child's view and so she can't see other things that Zoe is able to. Their partnership is interesting to watch as they slowly let their barriers down and work together, they will get a whole and correct profile to lead them to Moses before another person dies.
This is a fascinating and riveting story that keeps the pressure building until the conclusion. I like the story of Abby as she tries to find Moses but also the peace she is looking for from her past. It is easy to say how can they believe this stuff, but when you are raised in a cult or another way of life that is all you know. So, most don't question their belief system. You don't know what you don't know until your beliefs are questioned. The ending was really rewarding, for me it felt as if Abby was able to find her peace and finally break free.

4.5 star story…A Burning Obsession is an appropriate title..Abby is Obsessed to find Moses, Zoe is obsessed with her narrow minded profile..Moses was obsessed with his cult, and I was obsessed in finding out what happened next. Story telling is spot on, so why not a 5 star some events in the story pertaining to Abby weakened her character to me, ****minor spoiler****Abby took time off work stating that she was helping her child cope with the school incident from one month prior, but in reality she was traveling all over tracking Moses. Another point was the Abby is NYPD negotiator, what is she doing traipsing all over someone else jurisdiction without being asked to…But other than that it’s a very good story sucks you in, gets you all riled up hoping the cult and leaders gets caught. One minute you feeling sorry for Delilah, next you want to shake the change out of her pockets. Disliked Zoe at beginning of book but by midway she was more likable, she took a lot to warm up to. Tatum was barely involved it was mostly Zoe and Abby. Would definitely read this author again…I received this book under netgalley ARC, this review is my own personal thoughts.

Book three of the Abby Mullen series, and the final one, unfortunately. You COULD read this book as a standalone but I would strongly recommend reading them in order.
Abby joins forces with Zoe in this book, and the two of them are a study in contrasts. I really like Abby, she is real and flawed but hard working and dedicated. I didn't have as much of an emotional bond with Zoe, but some of their interactions made me laugh out loud, even though the subject of this book was very serious indeed.
Does Abby finally get to lay her past to rest? Moses has certainly been a busy boy and some of the things he has been up to, made me cringe.
I am not that familiar with all things cults, but I like the author's descriptions of how an ordinary person finds themselves drawn to a community like that and how the cult works to break them down and have them become more pliant. Scary as.
Great book, although it wasn't as "I can't possibly handle more suspense here" like the other two, until the very end, that is, which I almost read through my splayed fingers!
4.5 stars from me.
Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer.

This was my first time reading Mike Omer's book, and I'm not disappointed. The characters, the plot, the tensions were good. Once I noticed I was holding my breath while reading, didn't want to skip any details.
Abby Muller and Zoe Bentley were so opposite characters, but I loved them both. Abby had so many in her past, and many years later, she is still fighting with the past. Even if it has a special form of Moses Wilcox. Abby so kind, so understandable. And Zoe, who is strict and sharp, emotionless, made a perfect team.
Mike Omer give us a chance to be inside a religious cult, to feel the manipulative way it's organized. Easy to sow the seeds in broken souls, promising safety and care. But in depths it's always a manipulative and maniac obsession.
Do I regret not having read the author earlier? Definitely yes.
Do I become a fan after reading a one book? Definitely yes.
Do I reschedule my tbr list to read all of Mike Omer's books? Definitely yes.

Świetne podsumowanie serii, w satysfakcjonujący sposób domykające wątek fanatycznej sekty, tak paskudnej i działającej na nerwy. To następna książka Mike'a Omera, od której nie mogłam się oderwać.
Podobał mi się powrót bohaterów pierwszej trylogii, a więc Zoe i Tatuma. 🥰 Fajnie było zobaczyć interakcję dwóch głównych postaci, które z początku mocno się nie dogadywały. Cieszę się również, że został tutaj wspomniany dziadek Marvin, za którym tak tęskniłam. 🖤
Ps. Najstraszniejszym fragmentem tej książki była ucieczka tarantuli z terrarium i próba jej odnalezienia w domu Abby. 😰😫🕷️ Ta scena naprawdę wzbudziła mój niepokój.

I really enjoyed this book! I felt like there weren't really many slow parts and I found myself wanting to finish up work or my chores so that I could get back to this story and find out what happened! There were also relatively short chapters which is always a plus!
I haven't read many cult focused books so I struggled there seeing how the cult misused Biblical scripture to fit their agenda (as cults do). However, I felt emotionally connected to the characters. I hurt for them, worried about them and for their safety, cheered them on, and angered over the events happening.

Abby and Zoe joined forces to track down the cult leader, Moses. I'm not familiar with the cult, but the author, Mike Omer, does an excellent job of explaining how it works. It has suspense and drama and is a page turner from beginning to end. This is supposed to be the last book in the Abby Muller series, but I hope the author comes up with the fourth one.
