Harlow Wintergreen has been named the new Matriarch of VisionCrest, the powerful religious organization previously led by her father. There’s just one problem. The real Harlow is trapped inside a Cambodian temple, and her double, the evil Isiris, is out in the world masquerading as her.
With VisionCrest at her command, Isiris moves all the pieces into position for her genocidal endgame. To stop her twin from unleashing a super-virus designed to eradicate civilization, Harlow must escape the temple and reunite with the Resistance. But in trying to save the people she loves, Harlow gets a taste of the power Isiris wields . . . and her battle against the horror takes on a new and dangerous dimension.

From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—This series installment gives readers a bloody and inventive second look at a world gone awry in the wake of a cult's international takeover. Harlow Wintergreen is a teenager torn between two loves and in hot pursuit of the evil, blood-thirsty goddess Isiris, who has hijacked her appearance and dreams. Now the real Harlow must track Isiris across a violent and virus-riddled world to save her friends and the rest of humanity before the apocalypse arrives and Isiris remakes the world in her own horrific image. Miller presents Harlow as an independent female protagonist through two temporally alternating narratives, one set "before" Harlow's push past the titular gate and one set "after." The effect is slightly jarring but in keeping with the overall atmosphere, expertly creating additional suspense. Although the story does prominently feature a love triangle, the protagonist's internal and external struggle with it is a refreshing departure from the genre's norm. Those who can tolerate torture scenes and a certain level of gore will enjoy this novel. Although this book isn't recommended for the squeamish, fans of The Walking Dead who wish for more world travel and cult conspiracies will likely be pleased. VERDICT A lush and grisly apocalyptic adventure across several continents and worlds.—Emily Grace Le May, Mt. Pleasant Library - Providence Community Library, RI

By Stephanie Ward 'The Crimson Gate' is an exciting sequel in a gripping young adult science fiction/dystopian series. It continues to follow our main character - Harlow - as she attempts to find and stop her evil twin before she wreaks chaos on the world. Harlow's double, Isiris, is acting as Harlow and was just named the Matriarch of VisionCrest - a very powerful religious group that her father had led. Isiris is taking advantage of her new position within the organization and plans to unleash a supervirus that will kill all the members of VisionCrest and erase all traces of the group's existence. Harlow must find a way to escape the temple she's being held captive in, and then she has to find the Resistance - all before Isiris' plans are acted out.Just like the first book in the series, this installment was a phenomenal mix of several different genres, specifically dystopias and thrillers. The plot picks up pretty much where the first book stopped, which made it easier for me to fall back inside the world the author created and to experience the story alongside Harlow. The story continued to be very original and hard to describe. Harlow continues to be a fantastic main character, even with her obvious flaws, but she also is a devoted friend and daughter who will fight for what she believes in and will do whatever it takes to make everything right. She's very smart, strong - both emotionally and physically, and she's willing to risk her own life for everyone - from the people of VisionCrest to the general population of her land. I found the rest of the characters to be well written, if not a bit predictable at times. Isiris proves to be a worthy adversary with strength, intelligence, and a plan of her own. Aside from these small predictabilities, the rest of the story was well written with tons of suspense and twists, which will keep readers on their toes. The author wrote with great attention to detail, vivid imagery, and a fast pace, which kept me eagerly reading to see what was going to happen next. Overall, this was a unique and fascinating sequel that fans of several genres will enjoy getting their hands on - highly recommended!Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A girl and something? A love square and a cult! By Dark Faerie Tales Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A girl and something? A love square and a cult!Opening Sentence: “Before.”The Review:The Crimson Gate picks up right after The Violet Hour ends, so on that note I would suggest you pick up the first book before reading The Crimson Gate. Otherwise, you will have no clue what is going on. Harlow was just a girl who heard voices, it turns out that voice was Isiris who is like a goddess, maybe, still unsure, but she is also a dead ringer for Harlow. So Isiris leaves Harlow trapped in the temple and takes Harlow’s place.Isiris then plans to destroy the world and kill everyone and it is up to Harlow to stop her. Harlow begins to work with Hayes and the Resistance to beat Isiris. Harlow shared a kiss with Hayes in book despite her love for Adam, hence why I said love square because in the Crimson Gate, Adam is with Isiris and Harlow is sort of with Hayes. It’s all a little confusing.I wanted to really like this book, but I found the first book confusing. This one wasn’t much better. A lot of interesting elements but no real clarity on what is going on, for example is Isiris a goddess or does she just have some kind of magic? Harlow gets a taste of this power in the book but why does she have Isiris’ power? Just more questions raised than are ever answered. Plus, the love square, although I did like Hayes quite a bit more than Adam, and by the end of this book I firmly wasn’t in the Adam camp.I am not sure why Isiris and Harlow looked so much alike either, Harlow referred to her as her doppelganger and the synopsis refers to them as twins, but that is never really explained. I think I would have enjoyed these books if everything was a lot clearer. If the world building was better and I could understand what was going on.Notable Scenes:“In my gut I knew it was something terrible and I was going to have no choice but to face it.”“I tried to imagine a way this could all play out to a happy ending.”“And after that I was going to get the hell out of here and go kick some doppelganging ass.”FTC Advisory: Flux Publishing provided me with a copy of The Crimson Gate. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
