What to expect
A thrilling and intoxicating tale of envy, revenge and the price of perfection, from the acclaimed author of THE GOLDENS
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER …
For reluctant online sensation Crystal, university is her chance to escape the clutches of her controlling vlogger family. She finally has evidence to destroy her mother's picture-perfect online image. What she needs now is someone she can trust to help her expose the truth and burn it all down.
Crystal opens up to Alyssa, a fellow journalism student, and the two begin to form a friendship. But Alyssa is a secret superfan of Crystal’s family’s vlog – with an agenda of her own. Alyssa isn’t ready to say goodbye to her perfect surrogate family just yet … and she’ll do anything to be welcomed into the fold.
Critics Review
n Praise for The Goldens:n
n‘One of the best debuts I’ve ever read – The Goldens is the influencer-starts-a-murder-cult story I never knew I needed. Dark, seductive and ruthlessly compelling’ Laura Steven, author of Our Infinite Fates
n‘The Goldens is a thoroughly insidious thriller, set in a glittering, decadent world that will lure you in just as surely as the cast’s characters fall to the influence of their intoxicating, charismatic leader’ Bea Fitzgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen
n‘With creeping dread building to a nerve-shredding finale, The Goldens is sprinkled with the glamorous, the glittering and the gothic’ H. F. Askwith, author of A Dark Inheritance
n'Deliciously dark and incredibly cool … An unputdownable novel' The Bookseller
n‘A deftly plotted tale of toxic friendships, wild revelry and the tipping point of social-media darling to cult leader. If Serena van der Woodsen had the personality of Rebecca de Winter and decided to start a teen cult, The Goldens would be the result’ Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass and Blade
n‘An unputdownable book fuelled by ride or die, toxic friendships and an irresistibly coquettish cult led by a social media influencer. The Goldens is feverish, sultry and tense – trust me, it’s unlike anything you’ve ever read’ Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
