A Cult of a Different Kind - by Kate Shelton (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Beylynn never meant to join a cult--at least not the kind without incense or scripture. This one comes wrapped in pastel branding, protein shakes, and the promise of a Skinny, Happy Life(TM). As the rising star of the SHL Lifestyle MLM, she's cashing in while teaching other women that joy comes with a shrinking number on the scale.

But everything changes when Beylynn vanishes during an exclusive incentive trip.

Her disappearance is the company's worst nightmare: their glossy, influencer "boss babe" has either been murdered... or she's finally had enough and escaped. Either way, it's a PR disaster waiting to explode.

Behind the filtered photos and motivational mantras lies a world steeped in obsession--social media manipulation, dangerous ambition, illicit affairs, and money powerful enough to make people kill. SHL isn't a sisterhood; it's a cult built on control.

And if Beylynn wants to survive, she'll have to find a way out before the perfect life she sold becomes the one that destroys her.

About the Author

Growing up in a loud and chaotic family, the only thing Kate Shelton could do was to find some quiet behind a thick pair of glasses and the pages of a book.

A few years later, she earned a Master's of Creative Writing from the University of Denver. Kate now works in communications, but prefers thrilling characters, dark humor, and emojis to crisis comms.
Kate lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, with her husband and two (loud and wonderful) children.
