They'd love to have you for dinner

Sasha Savage is in love with Jack Greenway - a handsome, charming, clever... vegetarian. Which would be acceptable if it weren't for the fact that Sasha's family are very much 'carnivorous', with strong views to boot. Behind the respectable family façade all is not as it seems. Sasha's father Titus rules his clan with an iron fist, and although her mother Angelica never has a hair out of place, her credit card bills are shocking and her culinary skills are getting more... 'adventurous' by the day. As for Sasha's demonic brother Ivan? Well, after accidentally decapitating a supermodel in their family bathroom his golden boy image is looking wobbly. To the outsider the Savages might look like the perfect family, but there is more to them than meets the eye. When the too-curious private detective Vernon English starts to dig for darker truths, this tight knit family starts to unravel - as does their sinister and predatory taste in human beings...

“Darkly funny”

A humourous story, written about a family of cannibals - sorry 'evolved eaters' - could go horribly wrong. But the humour is pitched just right in this, though it is dark humour, after all, people are being... More

“The Savages”

As a children's bookseller, I read a lot of teen novels, so I get very excited when something this unusual comes along! And I certainly wasn't disappointed.

The Savages are your average family: a father who... More

“Absolutly brilliant!”

I can not emphasise how brilliant this book is! With interesting thoughts on food and a complex yet brilliant family dynamic, it is just as insightful as it is compelling. I think the best way to describe it would be... More
