Keep Him Close (2020)
Emily Koch
"Intriguing, heart-breaking...a mystery novel with a beautiful character study at its heart."
Survival Instincts (2020)
Jen Waite
"A beautifully written, masterfully paced thriller with kick-ass female characters who have to face insidious, and sadly plausible, abuse. Every woman with a mother or a daughter will recognize something of themselves in this book."
Somewhere in the Dark (2020)
R J Jacobs
"A superb story, it is such wonderfully told, gripping, edge-of-your seat stuff. I really rooted for Jessie. The ending was truly moving, too. This book deserves to fly off the shelves!"
It Will Just Be Us (2020)
Jo Kaplan
"A truly chilling novel with an ending that will take your breath away. Mad Catherine's house is (literally) the stuff of nightmares, and in Julian, Jo has created one of the most frightening characters I've come across since Gabe from Pet Semetary. I couldn't read it too late at night, and I had to cover up my mirrors! Also very glad I live in a modern house nowhere near a swamp."
The Night of the Flood (2020)
Zoë Somerville
"Evocative, glorious and tragic all at once ... The writing is superb."
Good Neighbours (2021)
Sarah Langan
"A brilliant story. I was completely absorbed by the world Sarah Langan created. The interspersing of the media excerpts was inspired and my interest was piqued and then my assumptions were blown away by the end. I even felt a little sorry for the monster that is Rhea. Clever, arresting and thought-provoking, Good Neighbors gripped hold of me like the best kind of thriller."
Sorry Isn't Good Enough (2022)
Jane Bailey
"Sorry Isn't Good Enough was gripping and surprising, and at turns chilling and heartbreaking. Stephanie's story will stay with me for a long time."
They Drown Our Daughters (2022)
Katrina Monroe
"An atmospheric, absorbing, multi-generational novel which explores the way historical events can impact the present. I'm always fully on board for anything that shines a light on the intense and difficult bonds between mothers and daughters, so this hit the mark for me! I was at turns terrified by the air of ghostly myth and compelled by the excellent prose. A brilliant achievement!"
