Reviews / Votes
'Wilson delivers solid suspense while exploring the rich if familiar theme of social media's ability to warp reality. Fans of the author's debut will enjoy themselves.'Publishers Weekly Praise for The Goldens: '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 '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 '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 'Deliciously dark and incredibly cool ... An unputdownable novel' The Bookseller '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 '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 'An outrageously good thriller' The Sun 'A dark, compelling teen thriller with hints of Saltburn' MetroMore details
