Harry Hartog's review

I nearly didn’t read this one as it was marketed as like Jane Eyre (I will die on the hill that Rochester pretended his wife was insane so he could kill her off). But the cover is just so pretty and the premise so good that I had to give it a go. I’m so glad I did because I adored it with my entire heart. It’s a really gentle book which is probably a weird thing to say because it’s also rather creepy, but that’s the word I felt most whilst reading. But then the ending… I’ve never rushed to google so quickly to find out if this was a series or if I was destined to live with the pain of never knowing. It’s gothic and a bit dark academia and the romance is a delicious slow burn. I devoured it and it devoured me. - Megan, Inventory Manager



Description

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A sensual, gothic feast, full of forbidden romance and wild magic' Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon

'A richly atmospheric, darkly seductive masterclass in fantastical academia. The slow burn romance will leave you tingling' Ella McLeod, author of The Map That Led to You

'A magical Jane Eyre perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and A Discovery of Witches... I was utterly captivated from start to finish. There is a new queen of gothic fantasy and her name is Jennifer Delaney' Jen Sugden, author of High Vaultage

Be careful of the dark and those that call it friend.

Katherine Woodrow is fey, and all she wants is to graduate from the Institute of Magic. But when the prejudiced mortal council threaten her position at the institute, she is left with only one option: accept a Mage Partnership with the elusive Lord Blackthorn.

Emrys Blackthorn is a riddle Kat is fearful of solving. The mysterious, cursed war hero with his stormy eyes and unpredictable ways leaves Kat with more questions than answers. What she does know is that she is irresistibly drawn to him . . . no matter how forbidden it might be.

When a string of murders and fey disappearances herald the return of dark magic, Kat and Emrys are thrown into a world of ancient books that hide hideous monsters, dark fiends who play with nightmares and mortal men who wish nothing more than to see them both burn.

But what haunts them both are secrets even ghosts dare not whisper, while insidious shadows lick their teeth and sharpen their claws, waiting for the moment that all tales will come to light - even the monstrous ones.

A love letter to the Bronte sisters, Tales of a Monstrous Heart is a deliciously gothic dark fantasy romance filled with magic and monsters - perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Raven Kennedy, and Callie Hart.
