The End of the World is Bigger than Love

Set in a post-apocalyptic world and told by teenage identical twins Summer and Winter, in alternating chapters, the reader slowly unravels their story so far.

The world had relied on their mother for stories, as she was an incredible news reader and interviewer, and their father was a technological genius, whose inventions had changed the world. Their family was certainly in the spotlight...

But when their mother was publicly murdered and the images sent around the globe, Summer and Winter were secreted to their small island to live off the supplies that their father had hoarded.

Sometimes you don’t know what is real... but ultimately the voices of these girls in the face of such adversity, change and ‘The End of The World’ was truly uplifting. To tell you any more would give too much away, but the one thing I will say is you simply must read this!

The Dark Tide

Caldella is a world that is slowly being taken by the ever lurking Dark Tide. To prevent this, the Witch Queen must choose a sacrifice, and whoever she chooses as sacrifice must be someone whose loss causes pain, so that the tears shed for their loss might help keep the Dark Tide at bay.

Two years ago, Queen Natalia chose Thomas Lin as sacrifice but he charmed her and she gave herself instead. Now her sister, Queen Eva, has the throne and she chooses Thomas again to avenge her sister.

When Lina, who has always adored Thomas, offers herself in his place, the outcome could not have been anticipated. Can they quell the ever threatening Dark Tide?

This is a love story with a bit of a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ vibe.

Again Again

When Adelaide’s younger brother Toby suffers a near fatal overdose, her family’s life is turned upside down. Adelaide and her Dad move away to a new school to help with the family finances, and Adelaide finds herself with a summer of love and discovery - which path will she choose?

This is a multiverse book where Adelaide relives major moments in her life again and again, each time with different outcomes.

The first chapter or two this causes a little bit of confusion, but as the story evolves you will love Adelaide with her strengths and insecurities as well as her imaginative way of looking at the world. There is also a strong family theme as she struggles to get to know her brother again, as he tries to overcome his drug habit.

It is at times funny, incredibly sad, and extremely thought-provoking. Ultimately though it is filled with romance and with all the possibilities that the world can offer.
