A central question within this novel is: can they successfully subvert Kai’s ambitions and help create a more equal and transparent world? Stephen has successfully written a multiplicity of compelling and recognisable voices, with the character Tam being my personal favourite. (4/7)

Interesting afternoon reading & thinking about how my new novel, We Are Not Anonymous, stands up against UK gov new AI Action Plan. Not bad as it turns out. Of course, the novel was written before the action plan so maybe the plan is a response to the novel! Or, maybe the zeitgeist gets everywhere 😉

EBOOK The Dark Within Them by Isabelle Kenyon | flyonthewallpress
Downloads as an .epub and a PDF Read a preview here In this gripping psychological thriller, faith-healer Amber thinks she's found peace in Lehi, the small Mormon town she's moved her family to. But when a death affects her family, her safe haven shatters. As the tight-knit community closes ranks to protect its secrets at all costs, Amber's world unravels. With her beliefs shaken and nothing feeling certain anymore, she's faced with an impossible choice: take a leap of faith to protect her loved ones, or risk losing everything by exposing the truth. "Luring you in with promises of happily ever after, Kenyon quickly removes any feelings of comfort..." - The Northern Bookworm But how far is too far when it comes to protecting those you love? A TIGHT-KNIT MORMON COMMUNITY. BODIES BURIED IN THE GARDEN. ONE FAMILY DIVIDED. ‘intense and compelling…an enormously talented writer’ - Shabnom Khanom 'a honed and beautiful writing style…not your usual psychological thriller’ - Debz Hobbs-Wyatt 'A must-read for fans of Paula Hawkins or M. T. Edvarsson... A gripping, pacy thriller.' - Northern Soul Magazine 'Isolated and without even her faith to call on, Amber is left to determine how much darkness is really within her.' - The Northern Bookworm 'Kenyon’s book explores themes of faith, motherhood and marriage with nuance. At the same time, the plot propels the reader forward with the claustrophobic tension of recent grip-lit classics like The Girl on the Train.' - Crime Culture Magazine About the Author: Isabelle Kenyon is a Manchester writer and the author of 5 chapbooks including Growing Pains (Indigo Dreams). She has had work and articles published internationally and newspapers such as The Somerville Times and The Bookseller.
