I loved this little book. Brilliant illustrations, and wonderfully awful stories that I read to myself with Foxx’s voice in my head. Tons of fun.

A weird gothic fantasy that feels like Frankenstein meets State of Sorrow. Court intrigue, murder and conspiracy all wound up together in a dissection of self-protective impulses in the face of trauma. Creative and gruesome.

A relentlessly dark dystopian horror. I love the way King crafts his characters, with every likeable and unlikeable aspect mashed together in a way that feels so genuine. This is just a heartbreaking novel, wonderfully paced. Loved it.

A thrilling romance novel, fast-paced and gripping. I adored the characters, particularly Ruby. Her predicament and her grief are so beautifully wound through the way she is portrayed. A very enjoyable novella. I couldn’t put it down!

Quotes by Josie Jaffrey (?)

“Exhaling heavily, I sank back down into the sofa and picked up the book again. When I'd read the same sentence five times, I decided I wasn't going to be able to lose myself in the story and returned it regretfully to the pile of books on the coffee table.”
