In May, I'll be taking up my spot on the blog tour for The Book of Koli, which is being released in mid-April. And obviously I love any excuse to unwrap and photograph a physical copy of a book - here is one of my coworkers assisting with the task.

Review: Monstrous Heart by Claire McKenna
I like a gothic novel. I've loved reading novels like Wakenhyrst, Melmoth and The Binding to name a few recent ones. I also love a classic gothic romance - mystery ex-wife, Jane Eyre/Rebecca vibes? Yes please. Fantasy magic systems based on blood? Sure. I just didn't expect this book to try to do all of those things, whilst not managing to follow through on all of these ideas well.
Review: The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
There were lots of things to like about this novel - it's as disconcerting as the midnight sun, shows the fear of men and the power of women and set in a fascinating period. It's a historical novel, but not quite as we know it.
