It had such a rich magical world, such intriguing and layered characters and such a brutal plot-line. Threadneedle was one of my favorite 2021 novels. When I'm not reading strange magical books and working on my next book, I like to eat good food, watch movies, dance around the kitchen, write poetry and wander the woods, which I believe is the most magical place on earth. I have now moved back West, to Bristol, with my husband and son. It resulted in my debut novel Threadneedle, the first in my Language of Magic series. A world where magic gleams both light and very, very dark. A world where libraries made of books breathe dusty pages beneath the city and witch clubs serve up magical cocktails and vintage shops sell memories. I split my days between freelance work and roaming London, writing in cafés and libraries and any hideouts I could find, eating far too much cake and imagining a magical world hidden within today's London. I quit my job and wrote a book about magic. I worked as a journalist for various publications and at a creative agency, before finally doing what I'd always wanted to do. I grew up in the Wye Valley area of Wales and moved to London in my twenties.

As usual, Ransom was his charming old self and had me swooning and (s)creaming haha□ Not to mention the fact that Willow became even more badass and grew into herself throughout the story. I was so happy that we got to see a different side to Vic as well. The character development - especially for Mal - in this book was top tier. I had been dying to pick up after where the first book had left off - so much so that I woke up at the ass crack of dawn to get an ARC□ (SO WORTH IT THO!) Ngl, but I gobbled this shit up in a little over 12 hours because it was so fucking good. Miss Eva Ashwood ate and left no crumbs yet again.
