An emotional rollercoaster of a book that brings vivid and layered characters into a magical realm. The world building and pace is intricate and fast, this is a book you will race through

Praise for The Plated Prisoner Series

This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned . . . These characters, this WORLD . . . it's everything. Raven has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics

Raven writes with a magic that comes to life on the page. Every single word gleams like gold

This is one of those series that started off phenomenal, and only gets better with every subsequent book.

Get ready to be enthralled from the first word, and begging for more by the last. Raven Kennedy crafts an astonishing world that's filled with captivating characters and a story you won't be able to put down

This series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best New Adult Fantasy books out there.

TEN GILDED STARS! Remarkably original . . .and the prose, people . . . gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

An emotional rollercoaster

What I've enjoyed so far about this series is how it's a metaphor about real, emotional issues

I devoured [the] first book and it ended on such a nice cliff-hanger that I am thirsting for the next one

Praise for Elizabeth Noble

Elizabeth Noble's unerring eye depicts family life in all its forms, good and bad, in a way we will all recognise. I loved this book

Witty, affectionate and unashamedly tear-jerking

A great writer. You'll be rooting for Noble's protagonists as soon as you meet them

An utterly absorbing multi-generational tale - the beautiful relatable writing we've come to expect from Elizabeth Noble, with a touch of summer magic...I adored it

A moving and warm-hearted novel about love in all its forms...Nobody weaves a complex web of stories with quite the same skill as Elizabeth Noble

Irresistible comfort read

Honest and beautifully written

Noble is the mistress of the tearjerking message of love

A moving and warm-hearted story of friendship and love . . . Elizabeth Noble writes wonderfully real and relatable characters and then puts their lives under the microscope, weaving their stories with tenderness and humanity

Other People's Husbands is a compelling, honest and uplifting tale which will have you hooked from first page to last

An artful game of distortion... Clever handling

A curious piece of autobiographical fiction

A wisecracking thriller hightailing between love and betrayal, with serious counter-espionage credentials thrown in... This is ultimately a book about writing, wordplay and knowingness

No contemporary novelist is more enthralled by what goes on inside the human skull than Ian McEwan... Sweet Tooth, which juxtaposes contrasting casts of mind, reminds you that, as well as intelligence, the intelligence service fascinates McEwan... Always excellent at conjuring up places and periods on the cusp of dramatic change... McEwan atmospherically resurrects the strife-ridden Britain of 1972 -73... Similarities and contrasts between the mentality and mind games of the secret service and those of the creative writer are increasingly brought to the fore. Doubling back and forth across genre boundaries, Sweet Tooth takes risks: narrative loiterings and twists whose purpose isn’t at first apparent, a payoff that is long delayed. But – ideally read more than once – this acute, witty novel is a winningly cunning addition to McEwan’s fictional surveys of intelligence

Must read... Intrigue, love and mutual betrayal by a master of the art

The great thing about McEwan is that, despite his success, he continues to work hard, producing ever more accessible and entertaining stories

Carefully researched

McEwan, as always, presents an engaging narrator... The plot is fantastic... McEwan plays with the readers expectations, and surpasses them all with a fabulous ending that makes me itch to re-read this superb novel all over again. Sweet Tooth marks another triumph for a brilliant British author

A pleasing, tricksy beast with a subsumed sense of metatextuality likely to be pleasing to his fans

Adroitly done...highly diverting

A triumphant shedding of genre limitations

This most cunning of authors entertains and manipulates his readers. Sweet Tooth is a masterclass in the art of fiction

Ian McEwan is getting better and better… Supremely tense, intellectually sharp, and honed as hell

McEwan’ssmoothly contrived thriller hightails between love and betrayal, with serious counter-espionage credentials thrown in

An expertly crafted thriller written with a bucketload of suspense and wit

As richly textured as anything Ian McEwan has written

Brilliantly cunning… It’s a story of love, betrayal and duplicity, with the most startling deception reserved for the final pages

Playful, clever, knowing and full of stories

Supremely tense, intellectually sharp, and honed as hell

Beyond virtuoso twists and turns, McEwan lays out the foreign landscape of 40 years ago – from smoky pubs to fuming punditry – with wry, affectionate panache

Tricksy, but satisfying

The sense of narrative purpose exerts its pull from the first
