Televangelist Jerome Write is the patriarch of a dysfunctional family and religious organization. So many secrets but at the bottom of them is greed. Alyssa Wright and Tobias “Toby” Tucker are newlyweds. She is a pediatrician with several houses and was drawn to Toby and his son, Luca. Shortly after they get married, they decide to leave California and go back to Texas to visit her wealthy family. Once there, the family expected them to become part of the ministry. What Toby did not know what Alyssa was due to come into her inheritance once she turned thirty but there was a stipulation. She must be married and have a child. Toby is afraid for Luca. He is so different, and the family is talking about sending him to camp to toughen him up.
Disaster strikes the family and then a terrible rainstorm moves in making the roads impassable. The phones and internet are down, and no one is going anywhere. They are trapped with an unknown evil. The family will do anything to protect the family business alive, including murder. The story was fast paced, the characters were developed, and it was written in the third person point of view. There was psychological intrigue and so many twists and turns that I was unsure who was the good guys.
