This is my second Darian North novel and I'm off to find my third. She has the magic for sucking the reader in from the first word to the last. Daniel Behr has a great life. He has a good job as a draftsman at an architectural firm, a wife he cherishes and a five year old daughter who means the world to him. The story follows his life as it falls apart and has to be rebuilt again. It starts when he goes to pick up his wife at a weekend retreat and not only is she not there, he can't find her anywhere. It's a fabulous story. (

This was an excellent look into cults and the life of the "drones" who belong to them. I say "drones" because they are brainwashed into following an individual no matter how crazy that person's beliefs are. This the story of how one woman was abducted and what her husband, Daniel, went through including his daughter being stolen from him and his entry into the cult to try and get his daughter back. It also tells of how charismatic Noah, the leader of The Ark was and how he lulled Daniel into almost a sense of wellbeing himself.

Very realistic and scary in that this type of thing does happen. (
