Simply the highest quality a chick can get...Spellbound will have you hungrily turning page after page...So delicious you'll want to wolf it down in one go

Green whips up a sparkling morality tale that points the finger at bad boys and low-rent romance

Compulsively readable

Leopard at the Door expertly transports its reader to a richly-depicted world that is fraught both politically and personally. Danger constantly hums around Rachel Fullsmith as she navigates the complex, conflicting desires of men and women, native Kenyans and white colonists. It kept me turning pages well into the night!

Heartbreaking... the characters are brilliantly drawn. Loving this book and can't wait to get back to it

[A] captivating and thought-provoking story. . . McVeigh's beautiful prose and harrowing plot will quickly absorb readers, particularly those interested in 1950s Africa, by sensitively approaching themes of race, cultural evolution, and the humanness that unites us all.

McVeigh does a good job of charting Rachel's growth amidst political and personal turmoil, set against a backdrop of Kenya's wild beauty.

insanely brilliant

pacy, thrilling and very original. The plot is fabulous

A page-turning psychological thriller with a difference, this is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

An extremely good short novel about a teenage boy from Dublin… This is really very good indeed.

Their love affair, across divisions of class and age, is brilliantly, painfully told. Although Montpelier Parade is – amazingly – Geary’s debut novel, he already knows how to play with the reader’s feelings like a pro. He’s one to watch.

It’s written throughout in the second person, a device that sounds tricksy and ought to jar, but Geary’s deft way with words makes it work. Staggeringly good.

Wow, for a debut book, this blew me away. It is a beautiful, lyrical, almost poetic story of first love, the passion and heartbreak of loss and finding out who you are… The writing just made me sigh (in a good way) and I cannot wait to read Karl’s next book. As this is only a slim book, it will haunt the reader, and for me, it will always have a place in my heart. It is a book to treasure and to tell your friends and family about. It’s one to keep and one to reread, just because.

It’s a sensitively told love story and an evocative picture of rainy, gritty 1980s Dublin. Geary is a writer to keep an eye on.

Geary’s use of the second person is unfaltering and brilliantly sustained, it creates an intimacy and intensity that is utterly absorbing.

A quietly moving story of two lost souls in 1980s Dublin.

The Summer of Impossible Things is that rare thing: a deftly crafted, utterly compelling story written entirely from the heart. Hauntingly beautiful, heart-rending and unique, this is an instant classic. I sobbed my heart out and adored it!

GORGEOUS. It's so moving and romantic and I want to re-read it immediately
