(Faebound, book 1)
Saara El-Arifi
"This is a romantic fantasy of epic proportions, crackling with magic and passion. Your heart will beat like a drum."

You Could Be So Pretty (2023)
Holly Bourne
"Holly Bourne is a vital feminist voice of our generation - a voice resolved to break the dangerous silences around sexism. Her writing peels the varnish off patriarchy, celebrates the power of female solidarity and friendship, and bears witness to both the pain and the joy of being a woman in the modern world."

Mindbreaker (2023)
Kate Dylan
"Witty dialogue, compelling themes, tense action, a determined protagonist - Dylan has taken all these, soaked them in neon, and shaken them into a dystopian thriller that fizzes with energy and rebellion."
