Reviews

One of the best debuts Ive 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

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, its unlike anything youve ever read Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
