Silver Moon: A Wolves of Wolf’s Point Novel
Recommended by
kevin
What a fun read! Menopausal werewolves, a town to protect, and a love to be found.
Becca didn't think the change was THAT literal. But that's what you get in Wolf's Point, I suppose. The name must come from somewhere...
A great concept, and lovely, warm, fast-paced writing.
Looking forward to reading Book 2!
The Witches of Greasy Creek
Recommended by
kevin
What a fantastic book!
A brilliant story and introduction to Appalachian communities.
Kate is an unlikely, but enthusiastic protagonist who has had enough of being messed about, and is out to learn from her grandmother, a witch.
Lots of fun, really tense and exciting. Another occult thriller with heart that you just won't want to put down!

Ever wanted to just walk on out of your life? Ever been walked out on?
This one's for you.
It's batshit brilliant. Just get it read!
Jaran
Recommended by
kevin
A beautiful, contemplative journey.
It's hard to slot Jaran into a genre. It's been called "anthropological science fiction", and that kind of fits. But it doesn't cover the ideas of wonder, nature, culture and love, found with a new people on a new world.
If you liked Rosemarie Kirstein's Steerswoman series, Jaran let's you explore and fall in love with another way of life all over again.

An average issue, with lots of shorter pieces of fiction and only a few longer ones. The stories that I found more interesting are those by Fawaz Al-Matrouk, Ai Jiang, Julie Le Blanc, Taemumu Richardson, Shreya Ila Anasuya and John Wiswell.

A Bagful of Dragon
Recommended by
kevin
I proofread this book for the author, thinking it wouldn't be my kind of thing, but I LOVED IT! Loads of fun, really creepy in parts and full of magic and danger.
Set in Leeds, it includes references to actual magical practices and Yorkshire's thriving magic sub-culture.
A great, fast-paced story with a strong 'Do It Herself' female lead. Can't wait to proof read the sequel.
