My pick for favourite book of May for #12Booksof2024

This novella from Mel Torrefranca's 'Belladonna' series about the students of Nightshade Academy is practically perfect. The second full-length book in the series is due out May 2025.

Pickpick

Following the events of 'Nightshade Academy', this novella travels back in time to when boarding school tutor Dr Blimmery Owding was a pupil at the academy. After his uncle wrote a seditious book, Blimmery joined Nightshade Academy to revive his family's fortunes. There he befriends roommate, Wick, whilst competing for the five coveted spots against his fellow candidates including Maelin & Taig.

OutsmartYourShelf Taig seems to dislike Blimmery for being a 'city boy', but although they are never close friends, there is a friendship of sorts (or maybe even more) between Maelin & Blimmery. After graduation, their paths continue to converge until Maelin crosses a line which has fatal consequences. Blimmery & Taig put aside their differences to launch a rescue bid, but will they succeed? 8mo
OutsmartYourShelf Mel Torrefranca does it again! This novella set several decades before the events of the first book in the series is nothing short of wonderful. The perfect mix of action, friendship, loyalty, courage, & betrayal in under 200 pages. Both Maelin & Blimmery draw you into the story & even though you know the outcome, it doesn't lose its poignancy. 8mo
OutsmartYourShelf If you haven't read the first book in the series yet, personally I would advise reading it before this novella as it gives you all the background information needed to really become invested. 5🌟

My thanks to the author, & publishers Lost Island Press, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
