Gaslight

Quotes

“Ripped from the headlines, Gaslight delves into the insidious world of cult indoctrination and the exploitation of young women, and how the past can suddenly reappear to threaten everything. A page-turning thriller with a powerful message about misplaced loyalty and the fragility of youth. A powerful read!” Wendy Walker, bestselling author of What Remains

“Sara Shepard remains the queen of high-stakes, high-octane, compulsively readable suspense.” Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“A gripping thriller in which a woman once controlled by fear confronts her past.” Foreword Reviews

“Gaslight is a gripping thriller that explores the internal dynamics of cults, the fragility of relationships, and the vulnerability of young minds.” Brit + Co

“If you’re one of those people who reads books about cults and is always like, ‘I wish there were more details about how the cult works and what happens behind the scenes,’ then you will appreciate this book.” Emily Martin, Book Riot’s All the Books podcast

“A timely, tense, compelling thriller that stands out for its exploration of the inner workings of cults, the susceptibility of young minds, and the fragility of friendship and marriage…A must-read for fans of cult stories, thrillers, complex characters, or even friendships turned sour (think Pretty Little Liars).” Booklist (starred review)

“What a story! It was riveting right from the start. I could not, would not put the book down for anything! I had to keep reading. I had to know what would happen next. I even found myself thinking about the book’s title, the image on the cover, and the way the story played out long after I put the book down. Gaslight is just a great story. I would happily recommend Gaslight to anyone and everyone looking for their next great read—you won’t want to miss out on this one!”    A Bookish Way of Life

“This is a creepy, tense, thriller of a novel.” PBS Books

“Gaslight is a powerful examination of the ways in which shame can keep people trapped, even as predators exploit the vulnerable while pretending to care deeply about their well-being. Miles Joris-Peyrafitte and Sara Shepard do an excellent job of exposing the inner workings of cults, riffing off of the details of several real-life sects that have made headlines in recent years. Most moving, though, are their dissections of female friendships, especially the ones made in adolescence that have a hard streak of competition running through them.” Criminal Element
