Creed begins with the story of Dee and her boyfriend (Luke) and his brother (Mike) taking a surprise trip for Luke. However, their car dies on the outskirts of a small town called Purity Springs, in what seems to be a completely abandoned area. However, they soon discover the city is comprised of Elijah, the prophet of the town, his loyal followers, and his rebellious son Joseph. The three are soon captured by Joseph in an effort to help rescue his sister Eden from the town's clutches. What follows is a series of manipulation and horror none of them could have imagined. The ending of the book left much to be desired, as the novel concludes in a few short pages. The book had a very interesting plot, but sometimes it felt too rushed while other times it dragged on. I think if there had been a more sound conclusion I would give this a higher rating, but I'll leave it at three stars. I would recommend this book to those horror fans who enjoy fast-paced twists and turns at every corner. Just don't expect all the loose ends to be tied by the end of the story.
