Kylie Ann Freeman, bookseller at Indigo Books Lyndall Clipstone is a brilliant new voice in YA and certainly one to keep watching for. Kay Frost, Brookline BooksmithĪn exquisitely crafted tale of love in all its brutality and how far we are willing to fight for it in defiance of death. With shades of Orpheus and Eurydice and a fresh twist on the classic love triangle, Forestfall is a worthy conclusion to the duology.
