A mother’s love turns monstrous when survival demands more than obedience.
The Book Eaters
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A mother’s love turns monstrous when survival demands more than obedience. In The Book Eaters, Devon breaks from her secretive clan to protect her son, whose hunger reaches far beyond stories. It blends gothic fantasy with maternal horror, family control, and a darkly imaginative premise that turns books, knowledge, and appetite into something intimate and terrifying.

About the book
Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries.
Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon—like all other book eater women—is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.
But real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger—not for books, but for human minds.

In 1662 Boston, Mary Deerfield’s fight for freedom from her cruel husband risks more than her reputation—it threatens her life.

About the book
Boston, 1662. Mary Deerfield is twenty-four-years-old. Her skin is porcelain, her eyes delft blue, and in England she might have had many suitors. But here in the New World, amid this community of saints, Mary is the second wife of Thomas Deerfield, a man as cruel as he is powerful. When Thomas, prone to drunken rage, drives a three-tined fork into the back of Mary's hand, she resolves that she must divorce him to save her life.
But in a world where every neighbor is watching for signs of the devil, a woman like Mary—a woman who harbors secret desires and finds it difficult to tolerate the brazen hypocrisy of so many men in the colony—soon becomes herself the object of suspicion and rumor. When tainted objects are discovered buried in Mary's garden, when a boy she has treated with herbs and simples dies, and when their servant girl runs screaming in fright from her home, Mary must fight to not only escape her marriage, but also the gallows.

In the rigid settlement of Bethel, Immanuelle Moore survives by obeying Holy Protocol—until a mistake draws her into the forbidden Darkwood.
The Year of the Witching
Dark Fantasy · Occult Horror
Our take
In the rigid settlement of Bethel, Immanuelle Moore survives by obeying Holy Protocol—until a mistake draws her into the forbidden Darkwood. There, she uncovers her mother’s secrets and the lingering power of slain witches. As truths about the Church emerge, Immanuelle realizes Bethel’s greatest danger lies within—and change may begin with her.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A young woman living in a rigid, puritanical society discovers dark powers within herself in this stunning, feminist fantasy debut.
In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet's word is law, Immanuelle Moore's very existence is blasphemy. Her mother’s union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement.
But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches. Their spirits are still lurking there, and they bestow a gift on Immanuelle: the journal of her dead mother, who Immanuelle is shocked to learn once sought sanctuary in the wood.
Fascinated by the secrets in the diary, Immanuelle finds herself struggling to understand how her mother could have consorted with the witches. But when she begins to learn grim truths about the Church and its history, she realizes the true threat to Bethel is its own darkness. And she starts to understand that if Bethel is to change, it must begin with her.

DAY ONE: THE NAME OF THE WIND
My name is Kvothe.
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.
You may have heard of me.
So begins a tale unequaled in fantasy literature—the story of a hero told in his own voice. It is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man’s search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Best for readers who like sprawling epic fantasy with military conflict, political maneuvering, a large cast, and complex magic.
Gardens of the Moon
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
The Malazan Empire is exhausted by war, but Empress Laseen turns her attention to Darujhistan, drawing Sergeant Whiskeyjack, the Bridgeburners, mage Tattersail, powerful sorcerers, and the gods into a widening conflict, with a 3.9-star average from more than 144,000 Goodreads ratings. Best for readers who like sprawling epic fantasy with military conflict, political maneuvering, a large cast, and complex magic.

About the book
Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson.
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.
For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze.
However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand...
Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

About the book
Queen Beauty and King Charming lived happily ever after. At least, until the birth of their daughter. Despite their invitations, none of the fairies show up to give the princess a name-blessing, something Beauty is determined her daughter should receive. Rashly, she decrees that her daughter will either have a name-blessing or no name at all. With that one decision, she unwittingly casts a dark shadow over the land.
Growing up, the princess shared her mother's dream of getting a name-blessing, but that's the only thing that they have in common. For everything else, there's the Lady in the Mirror. The Lady listens to her, and unlike her father, isn't afraid to criticise her mother, Beauty.
After many years of waiting, the fairies are finally coming, and the princess will do anything to get her name-blessing.
Anything.

About the book
A princess without legitimacy. A conqueror without a heart. One chance to save the people she cares about. No one cares about Princess Elizabeth. Her surly fellow nobles question her claim to the crown. Without a real apple to be found, she may only eat candy fruits that rot her teeth. And her parents offer her only saccharine pep talks. The mysterious Goblin Market calls out to her and she is faced with an unwholesome bargain with its dark Goblin Queen. The Nutcracker King is coming, accompanied by his tin soldier army. Elizabeth doesn’t know the limits of the tyrant’s ambitions for her kingdom – and maybe herself – but she knows she’ll do anything to protect her people, her claim to the throne and her father’s very life.
