Synopsis: 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.
