Leife Shallcross recommends
The Last Hour Between Worlds (2024)
(Echo Archives, book 1)
Melissa Caruso
"This book is for those who dream of going to the ball inside the Goblin King's crystal bubble, but struggle with work-life balance and finding a good babysitter. A jewelled swirl of dangerous magic, fabulous outfits and reluctant heroism, Caruso's The Last Hour Between Worlds is fiendishly well-plotted, utterly enchanting and... surprisingly relatable."
Nocturne (2023)
Alyssa Wees
"Darkly beautiful and threaded through with an undercurrent of magic and madness, Nocturne is a captivating tale replete with layers of illusion, where true enchantment hides beneath the manufactured witchery and gossamer splendor of the ballet."
