This book was part glamorous, rule-breaking, sweet youthful freedom and part heartfelt commentary on how complicated family can be.
‘Bitterthorn’ is a dream-like book that feels like it belongs alongside the classic novels and fairy tales of old.
A chilling, twisted Young Adult fairy tale about 3 strange sisters uncovering the mystery of their past which might be best left forgotten.
This sounded great to me! And it was. A must-read if you like historical queer books with lyrical writing.
This is a tale that lingers, leaving readers with a sense of awe and a longing for more from this talented author.
I devoured this luscious fantasy. The sinister, vampire-riddled world is a perfect setting for our Peaky Blinders-esque found family.
Themes of betrayal, redemption, and the power of choice are expertly woven into the narrative, elevating it beyond a mere fantasy tale.
Alongside her new friends Aisleen and Glad, they navigate friendships, relationships and the trials and tribulations of a new work force.
I was hooked from the electric first chapter! A bright, easy romp through a sweltering summer in 1980s New York.
A stunning novel set in an ambiguous alternative 1920s, full of alchemy, underdogs and an endearing slow-burn romance.
On finishing this book, I have the sudden urge to start a fight in a tavern in my best swashbuckling outfit.
When ghosts go missing, Charlie is forced to team up with a ragtag band of ghosts and the mysterious (and dreamy!) Sam Harrow.
With a supernatural detective on her tail and enemies on all sides, Vanja must navigate new threats and try to come out alive.
The allure of the celestial magic system tugged me in and melded beautifully with the dark academia setting to hold me captive.
This book guides young readers through the process of growing up and becoming you, all while being an overall good story.
It doesn’t take itself too seriously and, like the best horror films, it ends abruptly and bizarrely, with potential for a sequel.
A captivating tale set in a fantasy world of 1920s glamour, magic and prohibition; with beautiful and mysterious characters.
One of my favourite fantasy books (and series) in a long time, ACOTAR combines a phenomenal story with masterful characterisation.
A charming gay love story that plays on a few timeless romance tropes. This book is wholesome and cosy, but it also has tough subjects.
