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

The story of Eleanor, her loves and losses, in the context of her time at the holiday home her grandfather built, The Paper Palace

A novel which is a mixture of fairytale, historical fiction and thriller, which explores immortality and the ambitions of man to acquire it

A search for a missing girl takes our heroine, Andie Yates back to Bayswater where she grew up and which holds good and bad memories for her

A novel of two tales, beautifully told, which weaves the weight of loss, youthful idealism and the limitations of old age together

An honest, sometimes excruciatingly so, collection of personal essays, which is also incredibly witty and made this reader laugh out loud
