Jess Richards recommends
The Gloaming (2018)
Kirsty Logan
"I was captivated...Magical beliefs and stories, unreliable narrators and tragic events are all woven together beautifully. Mara's family and their many losses, and Mara's relationship with Pearl are heartbreaking and compelling to read. The characters were beautifully flawed and complex, I couldn't stop turning the pages."
Stronger Than Skin (2017)
Stephen May
"A gripping tale with a well designed plot and great twists. A definite page-turner."
