We Other
A gripping fantasy for young adults and anyone who enjoys a journey into a twilight world of good and tantalising evil. Acclaimed author Sue Bentley is a master story teller whose books for younger readers have sold more than two million copies and have been translated into over thirty languages.
Family secrets, changelings, and fairies you never want to meet on a dark night.
Jess Morgan’s life has always been chaotic. When a startling new reality cannot be denied, it’s clear that everything she believed about herself is a lie. She is linked to a world where humans – ‘hot-bloods’ – are disposable entertainment. Life on a run-down estate – her single mum’s alcoholism and violent boyfriend – become the least of Jess’s worries.
‘Sue Bentley’s dark, sensual, magical story will catch you in the gut, move your heart and set your imagination on fire. It’s unmissable.’ Thea Bennett, Radio Times.
‘This is a book to really immerse yourself in. By the end you won’t be able to help feeling that you know Jess, and that you have spent time in the world of Faery yourself.’ Helen Walters – Writing Magazine Columnist.

- A fast moving, well-knit plot with a wealth of intriguing characters from sensuous, cruel fairies to an alcoholic mother tied to a violent boy-friend.
- Written in two very different and engaging styles for two different realities— a gritty council estate and a world of dark, cruel and mysterious forces set in a rich, twilight landscape.
- A blend of the familiar—awkward teenagers who feel adrift in a world of inadequate adults —and the fantastic with an elemental focus on strong emotions—love, jealousy and revenge.
- Sue Bentley has developed her engaging and fluent style of the best selling Magic Kitten and Puppy series into a vibrant and strong prose style attractive to older readers.
