Killing Lily

For one woman, escaping a cult doesn’t mean the demons of her past are easily left behind, in this twisty psychological thriller of secrets and madness.

At Sunnyside, women serve in silence. Mae—an outspoken, rebellious outcast—has a penchant for getting in trouble. Her only ally is Lily, the perfect follower. When the cult’s new leader claims Lily as his bride, though, the facade of peace crumbles. Mysterious deaths haunt the commune, and Mae’s attempts to protect Lily only get her banished to the woods, leaving Lily vulnerable and without protection.

Faced with an agonizing choice, Mae makes a desperate decision the night before Lily’s wedding and escapes the cult. But the past clings to her like a shadow. Heartbroken and alone, Mae meets Charlotte, a true crime podcaster obsessed with uncovering the dark mysteries of Sunnyside. Charlotte offers Mae a chance to start over, but only if she’s willing to talk.

As Mae begins to reveal the cult’s sinister secrets, she comes dangerously close to admitting the truth about what happened the night she fled—something far more warped than anyone can possibly imagine. It’s only a matter of time before the past catches up to her and she’s forced to confront the nightmare she thought she left behind . . .

Killing Lily is a gripping psychological masterpiece perfect for fans of Tarryn Fisher and Emma Cline.
