Book Launch: Moonstone by Laura Purcell

The team were thrilled to attend the launch of MOONSTONE by Laura Purcell on Wednesday at Daunt Books Holland Park. Multiple Mushens Entertainment authors attended the event too and we were treated to drinks, nibbles, and MOONSTONE-themed bookmarks!

We were treated to a fantastic werewolf-pun-filled speech written by Laura’s Editor, Rachel Winterbottom, and read with aplomb by Fleur Clarke. Laura then made a moving speech describing MOONSTONE as the book that saved her life. And to the ME team’s delight, some of the guests partook in a group howl, which was the perfect celebratory activity for this particular book! Congratulations, Laura!

Don’t misbehave. Beware the moon. And never go out after dark …

Following a scandal at the Vauxhall pleasure gardens, Camille is sent to the woods to live with her reclusive godmother and her strange daughter, Lucy. Cast out from polite society, she must learn to live by her godmother’s strict rules.

Camille has never met anyone quite like Lucy before, and as they grow closer and cross forbidden boundaries, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious deaths, claw marks raking the doors, and the nights are pierced by the howls of a creature that sounds almost … otherworldly.

Should Camille be more afraid of what’s hiding in the woods – or her own heart?

From the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Companions, Moonstone is a haunting gothic romance with real bite.
