Unspeakable Things (2026)
Elizabeth Hand
"Elizabeth Hand takes the gothic novel - trembling heroines, foggy moors, rambling mansions, a powerful man who holds all the keys - and hands the weapons to the women instead. A sapphic folie a deux, set against a backdrop of postwar bohemian decadence and culminating in an epic ball where every mask hides another mask, Unspeakable Things is propulsive and heart-stopping: a story about desire as a weapon and gender as a game. Shirley Jackson's visceral dread meets Daphne du Maurier's dark, sexy twists. I rooted for Tamsin and Olivia while being a little terrified of them - and of the power of their attraction to each other, the kind of love that destroys everything in its path."
Lucky (2021)
Marissa Stapley
"An honestly moving and propulsive book about the art of the con, Lucky has the pathos of Paper Moon and the bite of The Grifters shot through with real heart and humour. Even though she’s one charming criminal, you’ll root for Luciana ‘Lucky’ Armstrong—a vibrant, sexy, full-blooded character—to get what she (really) deserves in life, which is for her luck to never run out."
Waiting for a Star to Fall (2020)
Kerry Clare
"Girl falls hard for charismatic, older man. It's heady and intoxicating. Then he turns out not to be who she thought he was. Like, at all. This is a thrillingly sexy book about that first big, bad love, and the pain of seeing someone for who they really are. Kerry Clare writes about the dark heart of women with a deceptively light touch, one that belies a complexity just below the surface. A diverting and compassionate read."
