    About this audiobook

    From New York Times bestselling author Alison McGhee comes a stunning and heartbreaking story of two teens who fight to reunite when one of them is caught in the web of a sinister cult.

    Micah and Sesame are true best friends. They safeguard each other’s secrets and entwine their dreams. Micah wants to save his parents from the cult leader who calls himself “the Prophet.” Sesame recently lost the last of her own family—her grandmother—and, to avoid foster care, plans to keep a low profile until she turns eighteen. Together, they never doubt they can build the futures they want.

    Until Micah disappears. The Prophet has taken Micah, his parents, and the rest of his followers underground. And trying to take on the Prophet in isolation, surrounded by his followers, proves to be a dangerous mistake that leaves Micah at the Prophet’s mercy and losing all hope.

    Sesame, left alone, is wracked with fear over what could be happening to Micah. Never before have the two of them been so far apart—or needed each other more. But their faith in each other never wavers, and that might just be enough to save them both.

      I usually don't like reading YA cuz they're still teenagers and all they do is whine, argue, and or complain about things they shouldn't be doing in the first place. But I got this one from the farmers market for free and I was like to me give it a chance and it didn't disappoint.

      One thing that really stuck with me in this book was that even though they were still teenagers they were smarter than some of the adults around them.

      The MFC was strong, independent, and followed her guts. The MMC was strong and he was smart but naive at times.

      Spoil Alert ⚠️ ?

      I thought that they would be at least one scene of intimacy because they always have just one in YA but we have two kisses and that's it. Also the kiss scene is her remembering their first kiss.

      If you are interested in romantic book, dark romance, or like to see any Intimacy in the books this is not for you.
