Blurb (from back cover): "His name is Cyrus. He's the leader of a mysterious cult that he holds in thrill with his dark charisma and even darker powers.

"Jack Harper is his newest convert and favored acolyte, After rescuing her from homelessness, Cyrus is teaching her all his darkest secrets-how to kill, how to steal, how to control others.

"But his greatest secret is contained in a small box that holds untold power.  Jack makes it her mission to find out what's inside the box, and in doing so sets off a supernatural bottle of wits with Cyrus. The price of failure will be her soul, while the prize for victory will be her freedom."

Opinion: If you don't like kids or animals being brutalized, then don't pick up this book. And it's more kids being brutalized than animals. It was easy to forget that the main character is a female kid because of the things that she does and witnesses. Read this for the Reader Views awards.
