Follow where this novel leads and you will be lost in a bewitching spell, a book of magic about books of magic, and the people who reel from reading them. Go beyond the magic and you're left with a heartbreaking tale of family where truth blurs with lies, and blood isn't thick enough. A bold, new novel from an extraordinary new voice.

Ink Blood Sister Scribe is so many things at once: an adventure, a puzzle, a twisty thriller, and a tender romance. It's a magical book about the magic of books; I adored it.

A twisty and thrilling fantasy in which both the magic and the characters have real complexity, real shadows. If, like me, you're a fan of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo, pick up this book at once.

This edge-of-your-seat fantasy thriller sees two estranged sisters tasked with guarding their family's collection of rare and dangerous magical books. To survive, they have to unravel the secrets their parents kept hidden.

The best kind of books do not simply expand our world, they let in light from new ones. Törz's spellbinding Ink Blood Sister Scribe embodies that completely. Chilling and charming in equal parts, Törz's debut is a love letter to stories everywhere.

Ink Blood Sister Scribe is itself a magical book, brimming with all the elements that make a story sing - an engrossing plot, characters that steal your heart and make you laugh out loud, and a compelling energy that reveals a true storyteller at work. What a gorgeously satisfying read.

Downright irresistible. . . . keeps the surprises and twists coming. . . . Through it all, Törzs stays grounded in her characters' emotional lives, including their tangled family relationships but also their love for the books in their care. By the end you'll gladly follow these people anywhere.

Astonishing and pristine, the kind of debut I love to be devastated by, already so assured and sophisticated that it's difficult to imagine where the author can go from here. . . . It's simply a delight from start to finish.

Never less than wholly entertaining

Has the spooky, crooked-angled, danger-around-every-corner feeling of a Carol Reid film. It reminded me often of The Third Man and that is no mean feat

Page turning, twisty and gripping . Characters that you really care about and that are raw and real. A great read!

Utterly gripping!

'Stylish, intense and brilliantly twisty. This is a terrific summer thriller.'

'I loved The Dive - a twisty, gripping, unputdownable thriller set in a stunning but sinister location.'

'Imagine Lucy Foley's The Guest List transported to a pristine tropical island occupied by travellers, where everyone is running away from something, and nothing and no-one is quite as it seems. The claustrophobic world of beach-bums, influencers and long-term ex-pats, each with their own agenda, is the perfect environment for a fast-paced closed-room thriller that demands to be read in one sitting - prepare to be submerged from the first page and not resurface until that unsettling final line.'

'Reading The Dive gave me the same wanderlust chills I got when I first read The Beach - Sara Ochs' stunning debut combines an exotic location to die for (literally), a host of itinerant characters with multiple secrets to hide and plenty of locked-room thrills. This is one sun-soaked, escapist thriller you won't want to miss!'

'A perfect debut thriller. The definition of an up-all-night page-turner.'

Dive in - a perfect sunlounger read.

This breathless thriller keeps you hooked.

A strikingly assured and accomplished debut. Sara Ochs clearly has a fine understanding of the conventions and possibilities of the psychological thriller. She has devised an intricate and satisfying puzzle here.

Set on a beautiful Thai island, danger is always lurking just below the surface in this brilliantly thrilling murder mystery.

A ripping tale that neither shies away from big questions nor interesting answers
