Anathema

by Keri Lane | Buy this book

The writing is superb, one of the best I found in the last year. Worldbuilding is fun and not too complicated, but enough to keep you engaged. Story a bit dark, spooky and perfect for lover or gothic stories.

Adele92 (Chester-le-Street)

I love reading all genres and will give anything a go. I’ve just finished mystery novel The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley and would like to join a book club to find some new reading material and also get the chance to discuss books after reading them.

Chris (Durham)

Haven't read much new in a while but trying to broaden my horizons a bit now. Previous themes/authors include Martin Amis, John Grisham, Terry Pratchett for fun, and various random bits and bobs and modern european history, currently on a departure with a greek text about pythagoras and a history of women in mathematics, heading on towards babylon or tibet for my next read.
