Iris Carden Why Iris loves this book

This is one of those books that prove to me that indie published books can, and often are, every bit as good as traditionally published books.
This fantasy story is about a woman forced by circumstance into a strange place, where she has to use strength and skills she never suspected she had. It’s a timeless story about discovering strength, finding community, and standing against the intolerable.

What is this book about?

When curious nomad Anna hears about Whisperwood, a town that's not on any maps, that nobody goes to, and nobody comes from, she sees an opportunity to hide from her violent witch-hunting ex.

But not everything is peaceful in the isolated community. A vanishing town, a gruesome funeral rite, an emergency field surgery-these surprises and more test Anna's resolve.

Prevented from leaving the frontier settlement by folk magic she doesn't understand, Anna lends helping hands everywhere she can, but quickly finds that investigating the forest too closely could end up being the last thing she does.

Iris Carden Why Iris loves this book

I read this novel in under a day. Palaeontology should be a fairly safe occupation, but not for Jurassic Gemma. For her it involves suspense and danger, and threats apparently from all sides.

By John J. Delaney ,
