Rezensionen
'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, this is a cuttingly deep exploration of tender girlhood and toxic obsession ... but I would still follow Clara Holland to the ends of the earth. Nobody is ready for this book' Laura Steven, author of Our Infinite Fates

'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

'A hedonistic exploration of when fascination becomes obsession, The Goldens is a deftly plotted tale of toxic friendships, wild revelry and the tipping point of social-media darling to cult leader. A real page turner, I devoured it. 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

'Lauren Wilson has delivered a sparkling debut - hidden inside this glittery party favour is a razor blade' Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town

'A seductive tale of effervescent glamor, toxic friendship and the fragile line between devotion and worship - irresistible' Kate Alice Marshall, author of Rules for Vanishing

'A mesmerising dive into the power girls hold over each other. I was spellbound by the beauty and decadence of Clara's world, even as darkness encroached - and while Clara's cult may be deadly, I highly recommend becoming one of this book's loyal followers' Olivia Worley, author of People to Follow

'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
