Darkly addictive with a blistering pace and puzzle-box structure Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters
A page-turning suspense debut about a woman infamous for escaping a cult as a teenager, who finds her future threatened when dangerous secrets come back to haunt herperfect for fans of Jessica Knoll and The Girls.
Everybody knows the story. Nobody knows the truth...
Lucy Golden is a true-crime icon, infamous for the murder she committed while escaping a California cult twenty years ago. But as everyone in Los Angeles knows, fame is fleeting, and Lucy and her story are always just one news cycle away from obscurity. Not to mention, she's fending off a stalker and moderating an icy feud between her acclaimed photographer mother and her scandalous rock star sister. Worst of all, online trolls are asking increasingly threatening questions about the legendary crime. Questions that could tear her life apart.
So when a hotshot documentarian makes her case the subject of his next film, Lucy sees a chance to silence any doubters once and for all. But as filming begins, she must return to the California desert and come face-to-face with a cast of players from her torrid history. Of course, the past is never what it seems, and long-buried secrets soon collide with present-day threats. Can Lucy stop her critics from digging up the truth before it's too late? And how far will she go to protect the story she's been tellingand sellingall along?
Told in a narrative split between the present day and Lucy's hit memoir about her fated summer in the cult, Paper Cut combines psychological suspense with coming-of-age Californian cult noir and a sharp examination of the true-crime phenomenon. As incisive as it is propulsive, this mesmerizing debut will keep readers hooked until the last page.

"There are no victims."
"Paper Cut" is a gripping debut about Lucy Golden, a woman famous for escaping a cult and writing a book about it. Two decades later, her story is fading until a documentary filmmaker decides to revisit it, uncovering secrets Lucy has kept buried. The novel switches between the present day and flashbacks from Lucy's time in the cult, gradually revealing what really happened. The writing is very good, I couldn't put the book down and I just wanted to uncover the truth behind the mystery. Lucy herself is a complex and often frustrating character. She's deeply affected by her past, still wrestling with the trauma of the cult, but yet, she's so self-absorbed making it really hard to like her. While the idea of this story is so good, I felt the book could have gone deeper. Many of the twists were predictable, which reduced the overall suspense. Also, it all felt so rushed. I couldn't fully process what had just happened before the story already moved on. Overall, "Paper Cut" is a thrilling story, with an interesting premise, and good writing. The exploration of fame, trauma, and self-deception works well, but I was left wanting more depth, especially about the cult. Still, the book kept me hooked, and I'm definitely curious to see what the author writes next.
