Gaslight

By: Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Sara Shepard

Narrated by: Julia Atwood

From Sundance Award–winning filmmaker and podcast creator Miles Joris-Peyrafitte and #1 New York Times bestselling author Sara Shepard, Gaslight is a tense thriller that dredges the inner workings of cults, the susceptibility of young minds, and the fragility of both friendship and marriage.

Rebecca is living a peaceful life in Nevada with her husband, Tom, and their two young children. Her past is in the past and she does a good job of keeping it there, until her old friend, Danny, shows up on the doorstep one morning, throwing her sweet family life into turmoil. Danny is nothing but a reminder of what Rebecca fled all those years ago, and all the secrets she’s keeping from Tom. She tries her hardest to manage the situation and figure out what Danny wants, but all Rebecca seems to find are layers upon layers of deception.

That deception has a lot to do with ISB, the cult Danny has been part of for ten years: a group of spiritual seekers living deep in the woods, cut off from their families and friends, led by a charismatic leader who’s a master at manipulation and mind control. Is Danny here because she’s trying to break free from the cult? Or is she on a recruiting mission? It’s hard for Rebecca to know when Danny’s telling the truth and when she’s lying, but one thing’s for sure: her presence might just blow up Rebecca’s life. As she scrambles to figure out Danny’s intentions, Rebecca begins to lose sight of the people she loves most—and the danger closing in on them all.

Amazing book !

Loved this book. I listened to the podcast, and it was good, but the book was incredible!! Would definitely recommend!

Must read

Devoured this book! Extremely engaging with plot twists that were completely unpredictable. An absolutely must read. Also really enjoyed the narrator.

Wait it out

I liked the premise of the story but the narrator was dragging a little in the beginning. I stopped and went back to it a couple of times but glad I did. Good read

Different Story Line

Good book. Although, I thought it was a little drawn out. It was good to listen to a book with a new story line that I’ve never read before.

Solid Storytelling & Suspense

Great character development and a tantalizing reveal about who is gaslighting who. Loved Tom. The end had me stressed out - I didn’t want to hear certain parts (because ouch) but I couldn’t bear to not listen … now that’s a sign of good story telling and narration. This was great collaboration. More please :)
