I love a book with cosy vibes. I love being able to settle into a story and get a real feeling for the setting. The only problem being that most of them are set in the States. Not a problem. I enjoy those as much as any other book.
In Silence and Shadows broke the mould for me by being set in a little village in Yorkshire. Think rolling green hills, warm coffee shops, and the best of God's Own Country. You crack open this one and you can almost hear the kettle boiling and the tea being brewed! (Best brew in the country for those who've yet to try it!)
In Silence and Shadows also manages to mash up “cosy tale set in a village” with “dark fantasy set in a village”. Again, I'm a sucker for real world fantasy books. Think Neverwhere, Rivers of London, and The Stranger Times. I love reading books set in places that I've lived or visited and being able to accurately pick out landmarks based on a single sentence.
Evie is an esteemed TV presenter with a secret that she's unwilling to tell the world. Along with her brother, Atlas, and her two kids, they live on a farm that has, to many villagers, a sinister past. Evie is desperately trying to erase the rumours and turn the farm into something more positive and beneficial to the community all while battling her own demons and powers. But some villagers have other ideas, ideas that they've held for many, many years...
The book starts out in your cosy little village, getting you all relaxed and settled before hitting you with the action. If you like witches, modern day stories, warring factions, small English villages, beautiful countryside, tales as that have passed through generations, and a hint of Hot Fuzz (“The greater good...”), then In Silence and Shadows is for you.
