First on the list is Sharon Lynn Fischer’s latest Grimm Curiosities. The book is a blend of genres – fantasy, fiction, historical fiction, romance and more. Based in Victorian England in the 1850s, the story depicts how Lizzy Grimm inherits her fathers antique shop, Grimm Curiosites, along with all its ghostly secrets. Check out the book because we don’t want to give too much away.

The second must-have book this Christmas is Gabriel’s Moon, by William Boyd. Set in 1960s London, the protagonist Gabriel Dax is haunted by nightly memories of his childhood home burning down. Find out how this book written with a Cold War backdrop eventually delves into espionage. Touted to be his most exhilarating novel yet, William Boyd’s latest is a must for the collection for thrill-seeking bibliophiles. Get your copy now!
