Praise for Gated and Astray
âA tense psychological thriller that will leave you gasping for breath as you race to the very last page.â âGretchen McNeil, author of Ten
âAn awesome, creepy book that reminds me of my favorite cult films.â âHelloGiggles.com
* âParker doesnât pull punches, indicating a level of brutality that will appropriately disturb even as it successfully conveys Lylaâs complete entrapment in the Community. Compelling and not that distant from real-world cults that have ended in tragedy.â âKirkus Reviews, Starred
âA complex, intriguing tale rooted in real-world events.â âPublishers Weekly
âA good choice for reluctant readers. After the last page is turned, the question will linger: âCould I ever be deceived like this?â â âSchool Library Journal
âA well-rounded and thorough look into cults while still remaining entertaining throughout. I look forward to reading more of Parkerâs works in the future.â âExaminer.com
