May was full of contemporary romances, namely the Kings of Sin series by Ana Huang and the Playing for Keeps series by Becka Mack. A re-read of Sarah J. Maas’ ACOTAR series was also a feature this month, along with a couple of other books. Take a peek!

There’s no better time to stock up on some sizzling reads to accompany you on your summer adventures. June 2024 brings a fresh wave of new releases. From gripping thrillers to heartwarming romances, here are some of the most anticipated book releases of the month.
April brought us an array of worlds, from realms marked by divine trials to the ballrooms of Regency London. Among them, “Worthy of Fate” by A.N. Caudle stood out as our favorite read of the month, while “Romancing Mister Bridgerton” by Julia Quinn was a nice re-read in anticipation of Bridgerton Season 3!
With the arrival of May, the air is filled with the promise of warmer days, blooming flowers, and, of course, a fresh batch of books! As we leave our book caves to soak up some much-needed vitamin D (if you’re anything like me) and embrace the beauty of spring, let’s take a closer look at some of the most anticipated book releases of May 2024.
In Worthy of Fate by A.N. Caudle, Kya faces a perilous trial for the unwanted chance at great power, while Ryker, her fated mate, grapples with dark forces threatening his nation. With addictive tension and immersive world-building, this fantasy romance promises an unforgettable experience. A gem of a debut!
In Awakening the Dark Throne by Jessica Ann Disciacca, Genevieve Autumn navigates a perilous world of elven politics and her own hidden powers. Despite rich descriptions and intricate court dynamics, rushed romance and underdeveloped plotlines leave the story feeling disjointed. With a promising premise, the book earns 2.5 stars, leaving readers longing for more coherence.
In March 2024, we were treated to a fantastical array of novels across genres. Day Leitao’s “A Cursed Son” mesmerized as a romantasy, blending enemies-to-lovers intrigue with dreamy connections while Ingrid Seymour’s “House of the Raven” unfolded an epic fantasy of vengeance and twists. These offerings, among others, offered magic, love, and intrigue.
In Genevieve Graham’s The Secret Keeper, Dot and Dash Wilson, twin sisters with contrasting passions, find themselves thrust into World War II’s turmoil. Their journey, intricately woven against Canada’s backdrop, illuminates the often-overlooked roles of female heroes. Graham’s expert storytelling evokes a myriad of emotions, leaving an indelible mark on readers’ hearts.
As we bid adieu to March and embrace the blossoms of April, book dragons everywhere eagerly anticipate the literary treasures awaiting them on the shelves. With April just around the corner, it’s time to highlight some of the most anticipated book releases of the month.
