The Knight and the Moth is the first installment of a new romantasy series by Rachel Gillig and when this book initially came out I could not stop hearing about how amazing it was.

Honeyeater, the 2025 urban gothic novel from Brisbane writer Kathleen Jennings, takes this muddy, eddying menace and infuses it with a heady, floral dizziness. It is an exploration of familial obligations, tangled memories and ghosts that won’t stay dead.
