She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay… Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.īut sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss.

However, as more time passes, Lib starts to doubt her own beliefs and realises that there is more to Anna’s case than meets the eye.ĭonoghue will probably always be best known for the Man Booker Prize shortlisted Room but many of her previous books are historical novels and I particularly enjoyed The Sealed Letter. She alternates her shifts with a local nun Sister Michael and considers every possible way food could have been secretly smuggled to Anna. While the community accepts this claim without questioning it and visitors travel from afar to witness the miracle, Lib is immediately sceptical and expects the medical surveillance to be over in a couple of days once the fraud has been exposed. She is sent to a rural village in Ireland to independently observe Anna O’Donnell, an eleven-year-old girl whose parents claim has not eaten any solid food for four months, subsisting purely on “manna from heaven” and a few teaspoons of water a day. ‘The Wonder’ by Emma Donoghue tells the story of Lib Wright, a widowed English nurse who trained under Florence Nightingale during the Crimean war.
