Kell Woods recommends

The Changeling Queen (2025)
Kimberly Bea
"Rich with folklore, magic, mystery and a strange, dark beauty all its own, this lovely novel is as intoxicating as the Fae themselves. Opening its pages was like stepping through the veil into a long- ago time, when magic was rife and Faery was that much closer. Just beautiful."

A Far Better Thing (2025)
H G Parry
"This book had me at 'fairy revenge set against the French Revolution' and it did not disappoint! An elegant blend of magic, history and fairy lore that taps deep into what it means to be human--and the love and loss that entails."

The Crimson Road (2025)
A G Slatter
"I adored returning to Angela Slatter's Sourdough world once more in The Crimson Road. Violet's journey to the mysterious Darklands revealed some delightfully familiar faces, as well as some truly frightening new ones. Angela Slatter spins a tale filled with adventure, danger, loyalty, love and family secrets - readers will love sinking their teeth into this one!"
