Promising Young Women
'O'Donoghue's writing is deeply relatable and darkly comic . . . It'll have you nodding with familiarity, thinking, laughing - and crying - as you race towards the end' GraziaJane is an adrift twenty-something by day, and a world-weary agony aunt by night. Then, at an office party, she takes on another role: the Other Woman. As Jane's affair with her much older, married boss, takes off, she discovers that sex and power go hand-in-hand, and that it's hard to keep your head when you're someone else's dirty little secret. And soon her friendships, her sanity and her life are put into jeopardy... . 'Manages to capture exactly how it feels to be a twentysomething woman in London while also containing a gleefully dark and gothic streak. It's an absolute gamechanger' The Pool'Properly, properly funny' Alexandra Heminsley, BBC Radio 2 (Sara Cox Show)'Like Nora Ephron's Heartburn or even Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones Diary, Promising Young Women positively thrums with relatability and honesty ... there is a brilliant sharpness underneath what may seem like a glossy surface' Irish Independent

Every Gift a Curse
Magic-sensitive Maeve wants to save the innocent from a dangerous cult. But how much can she delve into darkness without becoming what she fears? The exciting conclusion to the Gifts series.Big things are happening for Maeve and her tight-knit coven in Kilbeg, Ireland. Fiona lands a role on a TV show, Roe’s band is poised to hit it big-time, and Lily has a new punk style and passion for tattooing. Then there’s Maeve, whose magic is growing stronger and more frightening. She finds herself increasingly lashing out, doing and saying cruel things without knowing why. When her recurring dreams begin to involve her physically manifesting in other places, Maeve realizes the power she wields might not be entirely under her control. She turns to enemy-turned-maybe-friend Aaron for help, which means pushing her other friends away. But when the two learn that the religious cult the Children of Brigid is kidnapping vulnerable teenagers in preparation for a dangerous ritual, Maeve must risk letting an older magic consume her. She’ll need all the protection—and love—she can get from her scattered coven. (lib)
