Selected by Barnes and Noble as a Top Indie Favorite

"What a stunning book to start off 2024 with! Reading Secrets Ever Green had me feeling like I had been transported into a secret fairytale! Knightly’s writing is so beautifully descriptive and colourful that I almost felt as though I was IN the story experiencing everything alongside the main character!" 

-Goodreads review

"I didn’t know what to expect from this story, but from the first page I found it hard to put down. The cozy, whimsical feeling permeates each page. I find the main character, Ivy, to be a fantastic study in someone who knows her own flaws but still has an air of confidence. I also loved York, her best friend, and how their friendship navigated through twists and turns throughout the book."

-Goodreads review

"All I can say is WOW. This book is so different than anything I’ve read. It’s got some similarities to Secret Garden and maybe a little bit of The Witch and the Wardrobe. The characters are rich and detailed and the world is fantastic. I loved Ivy’s point of view and observations and York was wonderful. I truly hope to see both of them in what comes next."

-Goodreads review

Mystical nature, abandoned castles, old journal entries, and easily one of my favorite reads in 2024.

"I have to say right up front, I loved how beautifully written the prose was in this book, how uniquely thoughtful the world was built, and how memorable the story was. If this doesn't turn out to be one of my favorite reads of 2024, I'll be shocked."
