Born with a love of fantasy, and an out-of-control imagination, E.K. Frances has been creating stories all their life. Whether travelling the world, or walking the dog, their mind is always dreaming up a new adventure.

Dark, gritty, broken worlds; fast-moving plots, and morally grey characters; blurred lines between right and wrong, and plenty of twists. If you like the sound of that, you will enjoy E.K. Frances’ books.

Are you ready to embrace the darkness?

If I still can’t shift it, I just relax for a few days, read some books myself or watch some Netflix and then the ideas tend to start flowing again.(less)

Bit weird. The first half was hard work in places - lots of rambling and lack of background to what was going on. Whizzed through the second half which I really liked.

4.5 rounded up to 5.
