Rapture (2024)
Emily Maguire
"What an incredible book Rapture is. It has all the hallmarks of a great thriller - such tension - mixed with the quiet, confident beauty of Agnes' voice - her fury and her love."
thumb
Hungry Ghosts (2023)
Kevin Jared Hosein
"The biggest, most frightening, beautiful and alive novel I've read in as long as I can remember."
thumb
