Natasha Pulley is one of those author’s whose books always leave you thinking ‘how on earth did they come up with that?’ – and in the best possible way.

This reimagining of the story of Dionysus – the ancient Greek God of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and wild frenzy – is thoroughly entertaining and written in Natasha’s typical gripping style.

The second in the Shadow of the Leviathan series, A Drop of Corruption sees investigator Ana Dolabra and her assistant Din sent once again to investigate what seems another impossible crime.

As witty and entertaining as the fist book – The Tainted Cup – a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Another retelling – this time of Ireland’s mythic goddess of War.

In her own voice, The Morrigan tells her story which spans thousands of years from her arrival amongst a tribe of gods to Irish shores, through countless rulers battling for power, and a rage that never dies.

Suzanne Collins’ second prequel to the original Hunger Games Trilogy – the 50th Hunger Games, the second quarter-quell, Haymitch’s Games.

Bringing together so many elements from the original trilogy to provide the wider context, Sunrise on the Reaping is just as gripping as the original trilogy with Suzanne Collins’ writing style drawing you into Haymitch’s story from the start.
