Season of Fear (2025)
Emily Cooper
"Season of Fear is a vividly imagined page-turner with a thought-provoking take on gender inequality. This book is the perfect blend of horror and romance, with a gasp out loud twist: such a fun read!"

Traumaland (2025)
Josh Silver
"One of the best thrillers I've read. Heart-breaking, unflinching and stunningly dark, I absolutely inhaled this book and can't stop thinking about it."

The Changing Man (2023)
Tomi Oyemakinde
"The Changing Man is clever, atmospheric, and horrifying in all the best ways. Tomi Oyemakinde deftly weaves a compelling story of isolation, fear, and ultimately friendship. This book will stick with you long after you've read the explosive final pages. I can't wait to read more from this brilliant, and terrifying, new voice in YA fiction!"
