Praise for Tales of a Monstrous Heart

'This is like Howl's Moving Castle and Jane Eyre had a little dark academia baby and I'm so here for it' - NetGalley Reviewer

'Everything was just on point. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. It is absolutely fantastic' - NetGalley Reviewer

'Delaney really knows how to create characters that are real and flawed, but you cannot not love them' - NetGalley Reviewer

'I was captivated from the very first chapter and I struggled to put it down. It's addictive in the best way. It had me questioning everything and left me wanting more' - NetGalley Reviewer

Reviews

TALES OF A MONSTROUS HEART is a sensual, gothic feast, full of forbidden romance and wild magic. Fey scholar Kat is a compelling heroine: intelligent, resourceful, and daring, with private wounds and deadly secrets. She meets her match in Emrys, the brooding lord of the manor and an expert in dark magic who hides secrets of his own. As Kat and Emrys struggle with rogue curses, magical blight, and the looming specter of war, they also battle their own suppressed desires. This slow-burn romance is set in a detailed and fascinating fantasy world, and Delaney spices her luscious prose with sharp commentary on class politics and the cyclical nature of violence. I loved this and can't wait for the next book! * Sarah Hawley *
With a cast of characters so fully realised I missed them long after the final page, Jennifer Delaney's debut is a richly atmospheric, darkly seductive masterclass in fantastical academia. The slow burn romance will leave you tingling * Ella McLeod, author of The Map That Led to You *
