Spotlight: New books
The Shadow Key (AF STO) by Susan Stokes-Chapman is new to our fiction shelves.
After a grave mistake, Henry Talbot is forced to take an unappealing position as a village doctor in remote Wales where belief in myth and magic is rife. His predecessor died in mysterious circumstances, and Henry starts to notice an arcane symbol appearing in odd places.
When he meets the lady of the manor, Linette Tresilian, he finds her vexingly unhelpful at first. She seems to know little about the shelves of occult books he notices in her family’s library. But Linette has suspicions of her own about what’s happened in the village and, together, their investigations will bind their destinies in ways neither thought possible.
For the spicy romance fans, we have A Curse of Blood and Wolves (AFR MCT) by Melissa McTernan.
When Ruby feels the eyes of a stranger in the woods, she knows she should be scared, that she should run away, but she can’t. Instead, she feels a thrill, feels drawn to this stranger who follows ger in the woods. Yearns for his eyes on her every night as she walks home, hoping to hear the crunch of leaves under his feet that signals he’s there. Will he ever reveal himself?
From author Jane Tara comes Tilda is Visible (AFA TAR).
When Tilda Finch is diagnosed with invisibility, she’s not overly surprised – she’s felt invisible for years. She has a good life and a successful business selling inspirational quotes on merchandise. But she’s never really recovered from her divorce. Or, if she’s honest, her childhood. Tilda’s past has taken a toll and she’s lost sight of herself. Now, with the possibility of completely disappearing, she must face the trauma of her past and rewrite the way she perceives the world, and herself.
