YA Authors
Sandy’s reads:- The Spook’s Apprentice series by Joseph Delaney. It’s set in a fictional Lancashire with excellent local knowledge of British fey and witchlore!
- The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness : I’ve already reviewed it, but it’s YA that pulls no emotional punches. Very intense and suspenseful. Not what you’d think you’d find in YA, which makes it very intriguing!
