Hollowpox by Jessica Townsend

 

"The dual figureheads of Nevermoor's holiday season, Saint Nicholas and the Yule Queen, were in an Ages-long war over best embodied the spirit of the season."

Waiting for the next instalment of a Morrigan Crow novel seems interminable and yet dear reader I made it and it was worth the wait. I realise that having left my thirties behind, I'm perhaps not the target audience for these fantastic novels and yet I dearly love them. A new threat to wonderful world of Nevermoor is an insidious plague - how appropriate for 2020 - rather than coming from bats this one turns lovely Wunimals into rabid creatures and no-one is safe anymore.
Naturally Morrigan and friends will face off with the evil creatures behind this frightful plague and this reader ecstatically embraced the journey. Sometimes evil wears a smiling face and this volume delves into the notions of power struggles and unlikely allies.
What more can I say? Nothing much other than I want more please!!

5 out of 5 - I never tire of Nevermoor.
