RECOMMENDED: A mesmerizing, lyrical read that kept me up all night. So if that’s your thing pick it up.

In the woods is a glass coffin. It rests on the ground, and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives….

Hazel and her brother, Ben, live in Fairfold, where humans and the Folk exist side by side. Since they were children, Hazel and Ben have been telling each other stories about the boy in the glass coffin, that he is a prince and they are valiant knights, pretending their prince would be different from the other faeries, the ones who made cruel bargains, lurked in the shadows of trees, and doomed tourists. But as Hazel grows up, she puts aside those stories. Hazel knows the horned boy will never wake.

Until one day, he does….

As the world turns upside down, Hazel has to become the knight she once pretended to be.

The Darkest Part of the Forest is bestselling author Holly Black’s triumphant return to the opulent, enchanting faerie tales that launched her YA career.

*The UK price was still very reasonable when I checked: £2.99

Far off the edge of human existence, beside a dying star lies a nameless ship abandoned and hidden, lost for a millennium. But there are secrets there, terrible secrets that would change the fate of humanity, and eventually someone will come looking.

Refugee, criminal and linguist Sean Wren is made an offer he knows he can’t refuse: life in prison, “voluntary” military service – or salvaging data in a long-dead language from an abandoned ship filled with traps and monsters, just days before it’s destroyed in a supernova. Data connected to the Philosopher’s Stone experiments, into unlocking the secrets of immortality.

And he’s not the only one looking for the derelict ship. The Ministers, mysterious undying aliens that have ruled over humanity for centuries, want the data – as does The Republic, humanity’s last free government. And time is running out.

In the bowels of the derelict ship, surrounded by horrors and dead men, Sean slowly uncovers the truth of what happened on the ship, in its final days… and the terrible secret it’s hiding.

A complete romantic YA fantasy series.
An otherworldly messenger. A deadly competition. A destiny she never saw coming.

Lana always thought she was fairly unremarkable—just a mediocre illuminator witch and decent enough student. But when a scavenger hunt around Dublin pulls her into the treacherous realm of Faerie, she learns the truth: she’s anything but ordinary.

A descendant of a powerful fae bloodline, Lana is thrust into the Successional, a ruthless battle or magic, wits, and strength.

The prize? The key to her family’s powerful legacy.

The catch? Her rivals are cunning and far more deadly than she could have imagined.

Guided by a brooding fae warrior, Lana must navigate a world of deceit, alliances, and dark wonder. But as the Successional unfolds, she realizes there is something more than survival at stake. More than even the love she craves. The fate of Faerie teeters on a dagger’s edge.

Can Lana harness her magic and courage in time to win it all? Or will she lose everything she’s ever dreamed of?

Perfect for fans of dark fae worlds, bodyguard romance, and shocking twists, this is a journey you’ll never forget.
