Featured Book

Chloe Hughes has always dreamed of becoming a bestselling novelist. At university, she edges closer to her dream when she meets the enigmatic Clara Holland, a prominent influencer. At last, Chloe has something to write about.

While they originally bond over their shared initials, they quickly forge a deeper friendship, with Chloe giving up her rented flat to live with Clara at her parents’ empty, grand summer estate, and spending long afternoons taking sensational photos of Clara for her profiles and writing Clara’s memoir.

However, as Clara’s fame skyrockets, she starts behaving strangely. She hosts increasingly wilder parties, complete with bonfire rituals and moonlit river baptisms, and opens up her home to other girls desperate to live like her. As Clara’s troubling behaviour continues, rumours start circling from her past and the media begins to close in.

Then a girl goes missing. And if Chloe can’t escape from under Clara’s sinister influence, she may be next.
