'WOW! If this isn't a book to brag about I don't know what is... I started The Favourite late last night. Never did I anticipate I would be closing the book at 3am left in complete shock... This book was insane! It was twisted, it was heart-breaking but it was so darn good! A must-read... I strongly encourage you to pre-order this book!' NetGalley Reviewer, 5 STARS
Jessica Mooney seems like any other student at her university. She's talented, driven, and looks set to be this year's 'favourite' in charismatic Professor Crane's Law and Literature class. But unlike the other students competing for his good opinion, Jessica isn't what she seems. She's carrying a dark secret.
Her sister is dead. Crane's to blame. And she's the only one who can bring him to justice.
Will Jessica be able to get the answers and justice she seeks, or will her search for revenge destroy her first?
Read what everyone is saying about The Favourite:
"'Juicy and dark... a standout dark academia thriller, with shades of Donna Tartt's modern classic The Secret History and Emerald Fennell's revenge fantasy film Promising Young Woman... Jessica is a firecracker of a protagonist... Thanks to Hennigan's strong voice and full embrace of the bumpy, twisty nature of retribution and revenge, The Favourite positively sings." BookPage

"Tense, claustrophobic and gripping, with prose to be savoured, Rosemary Hennigan is a talent to watch." Sam Blake, #1 bestselling author and Irish Times bestseller
"The Favourite is dark academia at its best. A page-turning, gripping novel that I absolutely devoured." Disha Bose, author of Irish Times bestseller Dirty Laundry
"An intoxicating and riveting tale of revenge, obsession and the abuse of power that drew me in from the first pages. I loved it." Nadine Matheson, bestselling author of The Jigsaw Man
