Well. That was quick, wasn’t it? If, like us, you’re still wondering what happened to the last twelve months, may we suggest the best way to ease into a new year is by enjoying a good book – or three…
Bronte posted a drunken rant that went horrifically viral, and now she needs a place to lie low. Jobless, friendless and broke, she volunteers as a carer on an isolated rural property. Award-winning author Catherine Jinks delivers a thrilling tale of online stalking, a splintered community and the danger of conspiracy theorists.
‘The story maintains a palpable sense of unease throughout, interspersed with moments of wry humour…Offers an engaging read – with well-drawn characters – that will appeal to readers of Shelley Burr, Garry Disher and Jane Harper.’ Books+Publishing
The Spirit Circle
by Tara Calaby
In Melbourne at the end of the 19th century, with Spiritualism all the rage, a young woman attempts to connect with her dead mother. But are the seances she attends genuine portals to the afterlife, a harmless con or the workings of a dangerous cult?
‘Thrilling sapphic historical fiction…A poignant exploration of love, grief, sexuality and perseverance.’ Books+Publishing
