Venus Fly Trap

Emma Medrano is such a talent. A gripping story I literally couldn’t put down. Wonderfully authentic characters in an increasingly dark, twisted fantasy. So looking forward to what Medrano does next

Intense and compelling , with a dash of dark humour. I devoured it

A sharp probing novel

A toxic psychological thriller that will sink its teeth into you , Venus Fly Trap oozes with sass and seduction

Praise for Nothing Serious

Always emotionally intelligent and thought-provoking. Raw and compelling

Sharp, sublime, and achingly hopeful. Nothing Serious takes an honest and heartfelt look at loneliness and longing, friendship and survival. I loved it

A thought-provoking, quietly devastating novel about loneliness and what people will do to belong

A searing exploration into the shape of loneliness and how far we'll go to create connections
