Publisher Description

From the author of the acclaimed In My Dreams I Hold a Knife comes a pitch-black thriller about a woman determined to destroy a powerful cult and avenge the deaths of the women taken in by it, no matter the cost.

While in college in upstate New York, Shay Evans and her best friends met a captivating man who seduced them with a web of lies about the way the world works, bringing them under his thrall. By senior year, Shay and her friend Laurel were the only ones who managed to escape.

Now, eight years later, Shay’s built a new life in a tony Texas suburb. But when she hears the horrifying news of Laurel’s death―delivered, of all ways, by her favorite true-crime podcast crusader―she begins to suspect that the past she thought she buried is still very much alive, and the predators more dangerous than ever.

Recruiting the help of the podcast host, Shay goes back to the place she vowed never to return to in search of answers. As she follows the threads of her friend’s life, she’s pulled into a dark, seductive world, where wealth and privilege shield brutal philosophies that feel all too familiar.

When Shay’s obsession with uncovering the truth becomes so consuming she can no longer separate her desire for justice from darker desires newly reawakened, she must confront the depths of her own complicity and conditioning. But in a world built for men to rule it—both inside the cult and outside of it—is justice even possible, and if so, how far will Shay go to get it?

Better than expected

This was a pretty solid thriller. Very, very culty and a good fiction for those who love true crime. I got major NXIVM vibes and the author even mentions that cult at the end of the book.

Not good at all

This is combination of Fifty Shades, Jeffery Epstein and Keith Raniere of NXIVM. Predictable outcome and rushed. Just not good.

Love how I paused my podcast for a podcast lol

I decided to pause my podcasts for an audiobook and chose this book for the dialogue voice. I love the coincidence that I’m back in a podcast. This is a great story for the twists and mystery gripping me along.
