Kell Woods recommends

A Forest, Darkly (2026)
A G Slatter
"'Witches in trouble oft find their way to dark forests - and this is one of the darkest.'With these words, A Forest Darkly gripped me with green, leafy hands, pulling me from the safety of the path and into the great, dark forest that is the stage of Angela Slatter's latest tale... A tale of found family, fairy tale and folklore, and the enduring power of women, A Forest Darkly is earthy, strange and utterly enthralling. I was completely lost in it, in the best of ways."

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."
