freedom-house-ebook_2The Cult Called Freedom House, the first in the Sophia Rey series and debut novel by Stephanie Evelyn, out now

Everyone but Sophia and Cyrus were going to die. They were all goners well before they knew it. And they certainly thought whatever was happening, they were helping others and saving the world doing it. Samantha was only fourteen and looking for what every fourteen-year-old looks for— freedom. She wanted to be as far away from her substance-riddled mother and abusive home as possible, but she never asked for anything like this. It always starts with just one person and one fucked up idea. This is the story about Samantha and the cult called Freedom House. A psychological horror thriller, this book will frustrate you, scare you, disturb you, and at times, it will make you want to be ill. Are you ready to learn what’s going on behind the doors of Freedom House? This first novel by Stephanie Evelyn is receiving rave reviews from magazines and websites alike. Laurel Hightower (Whispers in the Dark) says: “A deeply disturbing premise, uniquely presented, cunningly plotted, and with chilling detail. A progression and ramp up that’s all too plausible – this one’s going to stick with me. Not for the faint of heart.” Grab your copy today, here.
