THE DAMNED by Renée Ahdieh is the much-anticipated sequel to last year’s THE BEAUTIFUL which is said to be the headliner of the new resurgence in vampire stories. We know there are lots of readers excited for this one today!

GIRL, SERPENT, THORN by Melissa Bashardoust has a unique world arising out of Persian mythology, this release with the gorgeous cover is a fantasy standalone, which is always something we want

BOYFRIEND MATERIAL by Alexis Hall has an adorable cover and a fake dating plot between two opposites. We’ll have a review up on the blog tomorrow!



The blurb for BURN OUR BODIES DOWN by Rory Power goes “a new twisty thriller about a girl whose past has always been a mystery–until she decides to return to her mother’s hometown . . . where history has a tendency to repeat itself.” We’re into it!

THE SHELF by Helly Acton is part reality TV hell but with an insider view that really gets you on board with the story. If you enjoy character growth, this contemporary should be on your radar.

Alice Oseman has a full novel release this week with LOVELESS. Ace-aro readers have been highly anticipating this title set in a university age-range.

We are both excited and afraid to experience it.
