”'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
”'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
