My Throat an Open Grave (2024)
Tori Bovalino
"Raw, brutal and heartbreaking in turn, Bovalino masterfully weaves deliciously sinister horror with unflinching, complex themes. I am in awe."

Faebound (2024)
(Faebound, book 1)
Saara El-Arifi
"Ambitious, brutal, seductive, Faebound is a masterclass in story-telling, enthralling and entirely unique. I raced through every page."

Mindwalker (2022)
Kate Dylan
"Deftly balancing break-neck action with reflections on consent, mortality, and what legacy we choose to leave behind, Mindwalker is here to grab you by the throat and pitch you head first into the thrill ride of a lifetime. Buckle up, kids, Sil Sarrah is a heroine for the ages."
