This Vicious Hunger

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Wild and Wicked Things comes a dark gothic fantasy about intoxication, obsession and a desperate hunger for knowledge, whatever the cost.

A rich, Gothic fantasy of obsession, trauma, and lies that twist and knot like tangled roots. This Vicious Hunger is a feminist tale of women starved for love and autonomy, their screams of rage smothered by genteel smiles. A queer fairy tale of toxic romance that echoes with longing

This Vicious Hunger will consume you like a sweet poison . May deftly unfurls the dark, dangerous underbelly of science, obsession and desire through the lens of three morally grey women that will keep you turning the pages long into the night

This is the dark, romantic gothic fantasy of my dreams! The atmosphere is truly luscious, the intrigue takes root in you and won't let go, and the payoff is absolutely delicious. I devoured it

Readers of dark fantasy will enjoy this sapphic romance tinged with elements of horror

Brimming with romance and gilded with danger, Wild Wicked Things is a heady, lyrical gem of a book
