(2023)
(The third book in the Netherweird Chronicles series)
A novel by

 
 
“My cat’s learned how to use the remote control, vampires keep ambushing me and I just kicked one of the most famous kings in history in his soft and squidgy bits. So much for resting in peace.”

Lilith O’Reilly might be dead, but that hasn’t stopped life throwing problems at her. An entire city is living rent-free in her head, and her favourite mermaid is hoarding things she probably shouldn’t in the dark depths of the Mersey.

And then there’s Liam. He might be the first man in a long time to stir Lil’s undead veins, but is Mr Tall, Dark and Gruesome really all he seems?

Lilith’s got some serious decisions to make if she’s going to survive the afterlife without losing what’s left of her undead mind. Unseen forces want her gone for good—and it’s a race to see who gets to her first.

The third book of The Netherweird Chronicles, LARK RISING is a fast and funny urban fantasy about friendship, familiars, and what really lives on—and below—the streets of one of the world’s most unique cities.

“As if Caimh McDonnell and Ben Aaronovitch had a book baby and abandoned it on the banks of the Mersey.”

Praise for The Netherweird Chronicles:

“Not a single dull character among them…even the cat is cool.”

“Phenomenal…A romp through the beautiful city, encompassing its unique people and historic buildings, sites sounds and smells, the author captures and evokes the weight of historical zeitgeist and as we scousers would say... blends it.”

“If the sequels are as good as this, have something to look forward to. Does for Liverpool what Ben Aaronovitch does for London.”

“Love this series. Lilith is wonderful. In fact, it's all wonderful: the characters, setting, plot and pace.”

“I love, love, love this book! The main character is believable and well rounded, the writing is brilliant and the world building genuinely believable […] the best urban fantasy book I have read in years”

“The lazy, obvious summing up would be 'Scouse Rivers of London' but this book stands on its own merits. Great world-building, engaging characters and a fast, twisty plot”

“A great premise and interesting cast of characters. Fans of a slow burn style of urban fantasy will love it”

“…great pacing, fun and likeable characters with a great sense of humour. It’s backed up with good world building and a solid foundation of historical fact intermingled with folklore.”

“…this book knocked my socks off!!”
