Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood is an Ethiopian-inspired Jane Eyre fantasy retelling and oh did you already stop listening? We understand!

The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik is the sequel to the author’s A Deadly Education. This YA fantasy serves up everything from book one and then some.

Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo is a “sweltering, queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.“

Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat is.. you already stopped reading, didn’t you? The first non-graphic novel offering from the author of The Captive Prince series brings us an enemies-to-lovers queer YA fantasy and yup, we need it.

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao is probably one of the most anticipated books out today but that doesn’t mean much because this whole list is unreal. This book fuses Chinese history with mecha science and is also pitched as Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid’s Tale and, lastly, is amazing.

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune continues the anticipated trend with this new release which, despite the cover art, is not connected to The House in the Cerulean Sea. This offering features reapers and grief. Pack the tissues.

Into the Dying Light by Katy Rose Pool is the final instalment in the author’s The Age of Darkness series that promises shattered hearts, fallen cities, and gods on the rise. Can’t wait.

The Bronzed Beasts by Roshani Chokshi is another finale! We don’t want to know anything about this one but we imagine there’s mystery, romance, and more to come.

The Legacy by Elle Kennedy is a collection of four novellas set in the author’s Off-Campus world.

The Hollow Heart by Marie Rutkoski is the finale to the story started with The Midnight Lie and after that ending.. oh yeah, this is a need.

White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson was pitched as The Haunting of Hill House meets Get Out and, I mean, what more do you want. Also, that cover is stunning.

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff is “the first illustrated (!) volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga.“

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood is a fake dating romance between two scientists and is getting a lot of hype!

The Last Legacy by Adrienne Young is described as ‘a captivating standalone about family and blood ties, reinventing yourself, and controlling your own destiny’.

Portrait of a Scotsman is book three in Evie Dunmore’s A League of Extraordinary Women series. This one matches up Hattie, one of the suffragists, with a ruthless financier and an unexpected wedding? I peeked through my fingers at the summary so that could be wrong. Either way, we are keen!

The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is the follow up to The Inheritance Games and, per the first title, might involve a lot more games before this inheritance, and this legacy, reveals all. Looking for a Knives Out-like YA mystery? Look no further!

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun is a queer romance set against a Bachelor-like reality show setting that should definitely be on your radar.

Uncharted by Adriana Anders is the second in this romantic suspense series set in northern, cold regions. The second book did not disappoint Micky and this is a quick, engrossing read.

Bombshell kicks off a new series by Sarah MacLean which has ties to a few of her other works and is, unsurprisingly, “blazingly sexy, unapologetically feminist.” Yes please!

The Second Rebel by Linden A. Lewis picks up a changed set of characters from the end of The First Sister. This is fast-paced, a little complex but worth the investment.

The Women of Troy by Pat Barker follows up Briseis’ narrative now that Troy has fallen. If you liked The Silence of the Girls, this is a sequel you need.

Living Beyond Borders edited by Margarita Longoria is a collection of short stories, essays, poems and comics on what it’s like growing up Mexican American. Bonus points that this is edited by our friend Margie Longoria!

Battle Royal by Lucy Parker is the much anticipated start to a new series by a beloved author. We didn’t care what this was even about, we just wanted it; but knowing it’s an enemies-to-lovers/grumpy sunshine match-up set against a baking competition? Yes, all the yes.

Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko is the second in this West African fantasy duology. It promises to be exciting if Raybearer was anything to go by.

Codirection by Gregory Ashe is the fourth instalment in the author’s Borealis : Without a Compass series which features gay private investigators (or, rather, investigators who happen to be gay). One of us has been devouring the author’s backlist and is hyped to have done so in time for a new release.

Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis all starts with a snow-bound motorway and an collision of chemistry. Micky loved this and you’re just going to have to pick it up if you want the details (and you do).
