Courtney Smyth recommends
Eat the Ones You Love (2025)
Sarah Maria Griffin
"Sarah Maria Griffin's prose is intoxicatingly verdant - I found myself dying to get back to reading any time life forced me to put it down. Griffin's voice holds your hand through the pages with compelling surety. It's a palpable, skilfully executed horror where you can't see the florist for the trees until it's too late. This one lingers and I loved it."
To Steal from Thieves (2025)
(Thieves & Kings, book 1)
M K Lobb
"A fresh take on clockpunk London. Lobb takes us on a pulse-pounding tour of a criminal underworld filled with dark magic, desperation, and desire. To Steal from Thieves is a fantasy heist that will have you questioning if you're team Kane or team Zaria right to the very end. Fans of Six of Crows and These Violent Delights will be all over this!"
The Hollow and the Haunted (2024)
(Hollow and the Haunted, book 1)
Camilla Raines
"Propulsive, perilous, endearing, and full of heart - Raines has written your new favourite comfort read."
