A Cult of One follows Genevieve, an aspiring officer from a family with a notorious history of criminal activity. As she embarks on a new path in life, Genevieve finds herself at odds with her family’s past as she strives to safeguard her city from the nefarious Internet Maniac. However, to bring down this criminal mastermind, Genevieve must rely on her brother, who is entrenched in the criminal underworld. As she endeavors to solve the case while staying on the righteous path, Genevieve grapples with the constant struggle between being a virtuous person and following in her family’s footsteps.

Author CH Morgan captivates the reader’s attention and maintains engagement from start to finish. From the outset, the book emanates a captivating blend of crime, family drama, and enigmatic mystery that makes it challenging to put down. Genevieve’s character is intricate as she is vulnerable but reluctant to show it to others due to being let down in the past. Her tough exterior as an MMA fighter serves as a means of relieving stress and protecting herself. Genevieve and her brother Bruno have a strained relationship owing to her family’s involvement in crime and her being a cop. This creates tension throughout the story since Genevieve desires to trust her family but is unable to do so. I relished reading from Genevieve’s perspective as it allowed me to comprehend her motivations and the reasoning behind her actions. The fight scenes were realistic, and I could vividly imagine Genevieve battling in the ring. I appreciated the unpredictability of the storyline, which kept me guessing about its direction.

I wholeheartedly recommend A Cult of One to aficionados of crime fiction, podcasts, or popular crime/police-related TV shows. This book offers a thrilling and captivating read that will leave you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Morgan’s plot is engaging, and the characters are dynamic, leaving an indelible impression on readers.
