Will lure you in then cut to the kill Sarah Perry, Guardian

A richly atmospheric Gothic debut . . . Foxlowe may give up its secrets, in the end, but it never gives up its hold Irish Times

In hypnotic and compelling prose, Foxlowe weaves a darkly disturbing gothic spell Essie Fox

Mesmerising, gripping and beautifully written. It completely sweeps you up from beginning to end. I loved it' Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat

Wasserberg has a strong and distinctive voice and this is an excellent debut Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go

An extraordinary, astonishing story of a girl's longing for motherly love. Beautifully harrowing, and powerfully haunting, it is the most heartbreaking tale I have read this year Liz Nugent, author of Unravelling Oliver

I thoroughly enjoyed this vivid and claustrophobic coming-of-age debut Tasha Kavanagh, author of Things We Have in Common

Dissonant, haunting and superbly atmospheric. An immensely subtle and profoundly affecting debut Paraic ODonnell, author of The Maker of Swans
