Six Wild Crowns (2025) (Queens of Elben, book 1) Holly Race "A thoroughly delectable fantasy that celebrates sisterhood and courageous truth while exposing the active maliciousness of patriarchy. The Tudor period is reconstructed into a deftly woven fantasy fraught with all the court politics, betrayals and closely guarded secrets of the era. The wives of Henry VII are resplendent, shrewdly navigating a world intent on controlling them and ready to destroy it all in defense of the ties that bind them. This is an intricate, powerful and utterly spectacular book. No one is ready for it."
Heir of Storms (2025) (Storm Weaver, book 1) Lauryn Hamilton Murray "Heir of Storms is everything I've been craving in a YA fantasy, executed with impeccable skill and tremendous heart. An original spin on timeless tropes, between its thrilling trials, delicious romance and addictive cast of characters, this is the must-read book of the year."
Our Infinite Fates (2025) Laura Steven "A beautifully tender book about the power and vulnerability of loving deeply. Our Infinite Fates is an iridescent ode to love, life and humanity. An absolute triumph."
Mondays Are Murder (2025) Ravena Guron "Mondays Are Murder is clever, witty and so much fun. Careening from twist to twist, I was on the edge of my seat and as desperate to uncover Monday as the brilliant band of sleuths were. From a masterful thriller author - at this point, if Ravena Guron writes it, I'm first in line to read it."
Cruel Is the Light (2025) (Cruel Is the Light, book 1) Sophie Clark "Set in a world as resplendent as it is brutal, with a taut, searing romance thrumming with can't-catch-your breath tension. Cruel is the Light is a masterclass in romantasy and a thoroughly scorching debut."
Some Like it Cold (2024) Elle McNicoll "Some Like It Cold is a heartfelt romance that is sweeping in its scope and tender in its emotional depth. McNicoll has crafted a powerful ode to love in all its forms: of community, of home and of ourselves - as well as the genre of romance itself. A clever, poignant and healing love story."
Four Eids and a Funeral (2024) Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé and Adiba Jaigirdar "Bursting with joy, humour and so much love - for romance, for community, for home and the people who make us - Four Eids and a Funeral is a beautiful and poignant rom-com. I would do anything for Tiwa and Said and their enemies to lovers romance is fraught with tension, complexity and yearning - not to mention a very excellent cat."
Orphia and Eurydicius (2024) Elyse John "A cleverly conceived and lyrically crafted reimagining. John deftly weaves a compelling and insightful narrative that interrogates not only patriarchy but the gendered dynamics of love, romance and the role of artist and muse. It is a story about the importance of having a voice, and a delightful subversion of myth."
Rosie Hewlett "So delightfully devastating! A deeply humanising, visceral portrayal of one of myth's most controversial figures, Rosie Hewlett's Medea explores the polarising possibilities of humanity, from our capacity for pain and heartbreak to our potential for vengeance and retribution."
Fathomfolk (2024) (Drowned World, book 1) Eliza Chan "A richly envisioned world and finely crafted tale, Fathomfolk is a luxurious and thrilling story full of political intrigue, heart-wrenching characters and edge-of-your seat tension. A glittering and magical novel from a glorious new voice in fantasy."
Voyage of the Damned (2024) Frances White "Frances White has crafted a brilliantly clever tale full of heart-warming characters, riveting twists and a gloriously conceived world. A poignant, quirky and utterly delightful read. I felt EVERYTHING while reading Voyage of the Damned."
The Manor House Governess (2023) C A Castle "A sublime and tenderly-written novel that is at once an interrogation of and love letter to the literary classics."
Savage Beasts (2023) Rani Selvarajah "Savage Beasts is a powerful, exquisitely crafted story with astutely drawn parallels to myth. It is as sharply clever as it is utterly gripping."
Good Girls Die Last (2023) Natali Simmonds "Blisteringly powerful, devastatingly timely and utterly gripping - Good Girls Die Last is as empowering as it is thrilling. A sunkissed nightmare of a book. I loved it!"
