Fantasy – Scuffed Granny

The Lost Color of Namiri by Elisabeth Fowler

Do not mistake this for a fantasy book about big cats: it is much more. A tense tale with a strong message of tribal survival & resilience.

The first in a fantasy series that both warmed this reader but paradoxically, also left her a little cool, like a fallen moon

A truly original story which gives a “curse” cognitive function and personality as it tries to survive in the face of its enemies

More of the Fae realm and its troubles with a megalomaniac king, threats galore and, it has to be said, a fair amount of faerie smut

A great fantasy opener from Krystal Bailey, which promises much more, with tense action, great characters and a world easy to visualise

A book which is taking the bestseller lists by storm, which is actually a rather enjoyable fantasy read of faeries & humans, power & passion

A coming-of-age book about a boy with extraordinary abilities who embarks on a quest to find his father when he disappears

Action all the way with new hero, Jimmy Chartron in this highly enjoyable young adult fantasy, suitable for middle grade readers too

For me, bourbon conjures images of small chocolate biscuits but the Bourbon Kid is a far scarier prospect in this quirky detective horror thriller
