I am always looking for a good gothic horror book and hearing good things about Medlock by S. G. Hartnell
Medlock by S. G. Hartnell
Medlock is a modern Gothic horror novel that reimagines the classic tropes of haunted estates, buried secrets, and psychological decay through the eyes of a housekeeper in 1978. Set in the eerie confines of Marwood Manor, the story follows Mrs. Medlock, a loyal servant to a fading aristocratic family, as she navigates the crumbling grandeur of the estate and the sinister truths it conceals.

My turn on the blog tour
Helen Aitchison’s Broken Boundaries is a powerful and emotionally charged exploration of trauma, resilience, and the human capacity for healing. Told through a dual narrative, the novel unflinchingly tackles harrowing subjects

β€œPowerless” is the debut novel by Lauren Roberts and the first installment in The Powerless Trilogy. οΏΌ

Set in the kingdom of Ilya, the story follows Paedyn Gray, an Ordinaryβ€”someone without supernatural abilitiesβ€”who survives by posing as a Psychic to blend in with the magical Elite. οΏΌ

Her precarious existence takes a dramatic turn when she inadvertently saves Prince Kai Azer, the future Enforcer of the realm. οΏΌ

This act propels her into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition designed to showcase the Elites’ powers. οΏΌ

Without any abilities of her own, Paedyn must navigate the deadly challenges of the Trials while concealing her true identity.

As she grows closer to Prince Kai, she grapples with forbidden feelings and the constant threat of exposure.

The novel masterfully intertwines themes of survival, identity, and resistance, set against a backdrop of political intrigue and societal divides.

β€œPowerless” has been praised for its compelling characters and intricate world-building, making it a standout in the young adult romantasy genre. οΏΌ

Birdie Greenwing has been at a loose end ever since her beloved twin sister and husband passed away. Too proud and stubborn to admit she is lonely, Birdie's world has shrunk. But then some new neighbours move in to the house next door.

Jane has come to Brighton for a fresh start, away from her ferociously protective mother Min. While Jane finds it hard to stand up for herself, her daughter Frankie has no problem telling people what she does and doesn't want. Ada Kowalski has come to England to follow her dreams, but her new life is harder than she expected. When a series of incidents brings their lives crashing together, the three find that there is always more to a person than meets the eye.
