Do not be dis-MAY-ed! This month may be teasing us with infrequent bursts of sunlight, but we have a lovely selection of new releases to get us through the sunless days. Below are a few releases I cannot wait to get my hands on:
Just JJ’s top pick:
Title: Book of Night
Author: Holly Black
Genre: Fantasy, Mystery
First impression: A new release from one of my favourite authors!! I cannot decide if I should dance, sing or shout!
In a world where shadows can be used to store the parts of you that you want to keep hidden, some can alter these shadows for entertainment and even power. Con artist Charlie Hall knows better than to get in the path of those involved in this work. Yet, despite her best attempts to live a relatively simple life, the return of a terrible figure from her past throws Charlie’s life into a whirlwind of secrets and murder. To survive, she must contend with a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, shadow thieves, and her own sister.
