The Temple of the Last Days. The brutal cult with a history of murder, sex and occult dealings destroyed itself during one night of ritualistic violence decades ago. Or so they thought...
Kyle Freeman is an indie film-maker with no money and few options, so when he lands a commission to make a documentary about The Temple of the Last Days he jumps at the chance. Little does he know that his investigation into the cult's bloody history will lead him into the darkest places he's ever been.
As they travel from the London and France to Arizona tracing the path of the cult, uncanny events, out-of-body experiences, ghastly artefacts and visits by the merciless 'old friends' plague Kyle and his one-man crew. They soon discover the power of the cult's terrible legacy, and that it may be too late for them to escape...

I loved Last Days which has been on my radar for ages. There's something I find fascinating about cult's. I've read a few books that feature cults, most of which tend to fall into the darker side of fiction. Like his other books, Last Days is a long novel, well-written with compelling characters and plenty happens to hold your attention. The book is very dark at times, especially in the final chapters when Kyle and Dan gradually discover the true horrors at the heart of the madness of Sister Katherine and her deranged followers. This is well worth a read.
