SWOONING FOR ALL THINGS BOOKISH.
The Bone Orchard by Sara A. Mueller
I loved the unique concept created in The Bone Orchard. Dark, full of political machinations and necromancy, Muellerโs debut is filled visually with decadent descriptions and intrigue.
Book Review: Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft
DOWN COMES THE NIGHT is a debut YA dark fantasy filled with magic, mystery, and a forbidden romance set in a winter-drenched landscape where two enemies are trapped inside a crumbling manor fighting for their survival as each night threatens their lives.
The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison
Set in an alternate Victorian London, THE ANGEL OF THE CROWS by Katherine Addison re-imagines classic Sherlock Holmes only this world is inhabited by angels, vampires, and werewolves. Here, a madman treads the streets at night named Jack the Ripper.
Ruthless Gods (Something Dark and Holy #2) by Emily A. Duncan
RUTHLESS GODS is dark, sinuous, and all the things Gothic that I love. Once again, the cleric, the prince, and the monstrous boy find their destinies irrevocably intertwined as mercurial gods and manipulative saints vie for power in this dramatic follow up to Wicked Saints.
