[Cultivated 01] • Charlie

Do people in cults know they’re being brainwashed?

I’m about to find out as I’m traveling to Ireland to go undercover in a real cult where a psychopath is manipulating otherwise smart people to isolate themselves from their family and friends. As an American, it wouldn’t have concerned me what the Irish do, except that one of his followers is Charles, a brilliant guy I met at college, and whose grandfather has asked for my help.

With degrees in both anthropology and psychology, twenty-seven-year-old Liv is convinced that she can easily resist the danger of being sucked into Connor O’Brien’s cult, but she’s nervous about seeing Charles again. He’s the reserved, mysterious, and unattainable guy that she had a major crush on in college.

Charles is the heir to one of the largest business dynasties in the US and that made him a target for the narcissistic and cunning O’Brien. Does Liv have what it takes to open Charles’ eyes and make him go up against a true narcissist who will use every means to control people? And what happens when her undercover assignment turns into a life or death situation for the entire cult?

Charlie is the first installment in Elin Peer’s contemporary romance series Cultivated, which offers suspense and drama. Like all her books, this one has a fast pace, lots of great dialogue, and it leaves you wanting more.
