Books like The Puppeteer

Every string leads back to him. Kathryn Ann Kingsley makes The Puppeteer a story of being watched by someone she loathes, staged in a fantasy world that feels like a nightmare theatre. Lightless, and hot in the quiet moments. Controlling hands, a rigged stage and a heroine who fights the strings. Read it at night if you are brave enough.
