Sangu Mandanna was four years old when she was chased by an elephant, wrote her first story about it, and decided this was what she wanted to do with her life. Seventeen years later, she read Frankenstein. It sent her into a writing frenzy that became The Lost Girl, a novel about death and love and the tie that binds the two together. Sangu lives in England with her husband and son.

Sangu Mandanna recommends

Love At First Fright (2025)
Nadia El-Fassi
"Best Hex Ever is a hard act to follow, but Love at First Fright does it so well! Wonderfully warm, deliciously sexy, and beautifully inclusive - I loved this every bit as much as the first."

The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy (2025)
(Dearly Beloathed, book 1)
Brigitte Knightley
"Sworn enemies, underhanded shenanigans, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem. Whether you're Team Aurienne (she of the incandescent brilliance) or Team Osric (he of the magnificent cheekbones) or just Team Would You Two Just Kiss Already, I promise you'll love this."

An Ancient Witch's Guide to Modern Dating (2025)
Cecilia Edward
"Warm, delightful and full of magic (and cats!), a book hasn't made me laugh this much in ages!"
