Sound the NEW BOOK klaxon! I’m delighted to share that I have a new YA thriller, Love You to Death, publishing on 13 April 2023.

You can pre-order from your preferred book store here. Here’s the synopsis:

A dark, twisty YA thriller exploring obsession, stalking and toxic love that keeps you guessing to the very end

Someone is obsessed with Mia Hawkins.

She’s felt their gaze on the back of her neck. She’s heard their footsteps, walking home in the dark. She’s glimpsed a shadowy figure and the flash of a camera.

Mia doesn’t know Jade. But Jade knows everything about Mia. In fact, she’s turned herself into Mia’s doppelganger, from her long brown hair to the minute details of her outfits. She’s so convincing that when Jade’s body is found by the cliffs, everyone believes it’s Mia.

But Mia can’t work out why anyone would imitate her – or why they’d end up dead. As life as she knows it is decimated, she is left with no idea who to trust . . . or if she will be the next one to die.

I’m thrilled to share that I have a new book upcoming! GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT is the second book in the Tales at Midnight series of fairytale retellings, following on from ALL THE BETTER TO SEE YOU. This time it’s Hansel and Gretel. Expect dark twistiness – what really happened in the witch’s cottage?

Here’s the book’s blurb:

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder meets I May Destroy You, this dark YA thriller will have your heart in your mouth from the very first page! Tragedy hits a teenage New Year’s party . . .

When Alana’s best friend is found drowned in a pool, the forensic reports discover date-rape drug GHB in her blood. GHB from a drink Alana knows was meant for her. Despite the swirling rumours, the suspected group of boys seem untouchable. To investigate, Alana allows herself to be pulled into their glittering orbit. But among shifting alliances, changing alibis and buried secrets, can she pinpoint which of the boys is responsible before she becomes their next target?
