Cross My Heart
The lie was tiny and black like a stick of liquorice in her mouth. She didn't like liquorice and she didn't like lying but it was the only way… It is 1975 and nine-year-old Grace believes she has the ability to tell 'true lies' to get herself out of trouble. But when the feud between her mum and nan escalates into tragedy Grace finds she must tell the biggest lie yet -- and live with the consequences. For Alec Holm, 1975 is the year no one believes the truth and he finds himself convicted for a crime he didn't commit. But fate is making its own plans for Alec and Grace. Fifteen years later their two paths cross in the most unexpected of ways…
The Stopping Place
A librarian becomes obsessed with a coworker’s secrets in this compelling psychological thriller from “a highly original talent” (Beryl Bainbridge). Ruby Robinson drifts through life stacking shelves at the library—quiet, solitary, invisible. Invisibility makes it easier to notice things, though, and Ruby has always valued the importance of knowledge. She watches the world go by from her place amongst the bookshelves. The bored students, the domestic dramas, and her colleague Martha—vivacious, wild, enchanting. Drawn in by Martha’s light, Ruby finds herself watching, observing . . . which is how she spots the cracks in Martha’s shiny new relationship before anyone else. An unsettling feeling. A flinch. Forced to intervene, Ruby is drawn out of the shadows. But all actions have consequences, particularly for someone with a past she’d rather forget . . . The Stopping Place is a smart, suspenseful tale by an author who “reels you in, teases you and rewards you” (The Scotsman).
The Extra Large Medium
Annie Colville sees dead people, and in British television and scriptwriter Slavin's debut, the dead wear chocolate brown while inhabiting the "Waiting Room of Heaven World," which overlaps with the everyday "Living Room World" that the rest of us see. The ghosts reach out to Annie to enlist her in tidying up unfinished-and mundane as often as unconventional-business: which niece should get the Wedgwood teapot, which romantic path a lesbian daughter should follow.
Crooked Daylight
The Way sisters, Anna, Charlie and Emz, were raised in two worlds. Their mother's realm of reason, measurement and logic, and the world inhabited by their spectacularly unconventional grandmother, Hettie. While their mother worked, the sisters ran wild at Hettie's Cob Cottage, discovering forbidden Pike Lake, unknowable Havoc Wood, and what their grandmother referred to only as 'The Strengths'. But time passed, the sisters grew up, work and relationships and their mother's world won them over, and The Strengths lay forgotten... That is until Hettie passes away suddenly, leaving behind Cob Cottage and a whole lot of questions. Anna is busy trying very hard not to cry as she caters yet another wedding, Charlie is spending more time at the job she loves than with the boyfriend she's not quite sure about and Emz is dreaming up new ways to avoid school and the drama that comes with it, but can they deal with strange guests, unexpected danger and some long-forgotten memories?

Borrowed Moonlight
Boughs bent, limbs sprang. Havoc Wood had never seemed so alive. After a toxic Halloween wreaked havoc on the Wood, the Way sisters are left shaken. Thinking they had gained some control over their powers, now they aren't sure they're cut out to be the Gamekeepers. The sisters are scared, insecure, and in no position to handle the Old Magic hovering in every corner of Woodcastle. Ancient and electric, this new foe is always one step ahead, and The Ways must finally harness their Strengths... or risk losing one of their own. In this third instalment of The Witch Ways series, bets are hedged, bargains are made, magic is borrowed, and debts must be paid. PRAISE FOR HELEN SLAVIN '....Ultimately, Slavin has something more subversive up her sleeve than mere entertainment: in conjuring a world of ghosts... she wickedly skewers a society whose obsession with the afterlife shortchanges life itself.' - The New York Times 'a born writer... the ultimate needle in a haystack' - Susan Hill, author of The Woman in Black 'a highly original talent' - Beryl Bainbridge
