Fourteen contestants trapped in a castle in a fight to the death. Can they work out who is the murdering Werewolf in their midst before it's too late? You've seen #TheTraitors, you've seen the super moon, now it's time for Lie or Die: Blood Moon. Reality TV just got darker...

“Hero the Highway Girl” by @pennychrimes is pure #MiddleGradeMagic. Feisty heiress + pet wolf+ reluctant highwayman = Georgian chaos. Fast-paced, witty, wild. Full of daring escapes, brave choices & heart. Jack and Hero are truly fab characters and their interplay is a delight
