What readers are saying about FEMLANDIA
'I felt immediately pulled in and intriguedI cannot wait to see what is going to come next from this author'
'It was completely gripping and I couldn't put it down; absolutely thought provoking'
A chilling and layered read which I couldn't put down. A true modern horror which exposes the dangers of a world without gender equity and ends with a horrifying sense of circularity.
I couldnt stop reading. There were many shocking twists throughout the book and I loved how it flicked between characters and timelines!
