Runner 13 (2025)

"Tense, exhilarating and deeply immersive, I raced through this epic ultramarathon thriller. So good on character, with a layered plot and vivid desert setting-I loved it as a runner, a reader, and a full-of-admiration writer."

Kill Creatures (2025)
Rory Power
"A YA thriller master class featuring a compelling antihero, vicious teenage girls . . . and an emotional gut punch of a twist . . . Rory Power is at her very best."
