    Summary

    Natalie nods slowly.
    “So this… this is a cult. You’re all… ritualistic murderers?”
    Lottie scoffs.
    “Well,” she says. “We really prefer to think of them as intentional sacrifices.”

    Natalie enrolls in college to get away from home after her father dies, but she quickly becomes obsessed with a strange, cult-like group of English students on campus, led by Lottie Matthews.

    Inspired by The Secret History by Donna Tartt.
