Happy book birthday to these new releases! Check out this list today:
Six of Sorrow by. Amanda Linsmeier
Sixteen years ago, six girls were born on the same dayâand now, on their birthday, one of them is missing. From the author of Starlings comes a story about small-towns, friendships, and the terrifying things your parents don’t tell you, that’s perfect for fans of Yellowjackets.
For most of her life, Isabeau and her five best friends were inseparableâamazingly enough, the six girls even shared a birthday. Then a rift caused their friendships to fracture, and Iz lost everyone except Reuel, the only one who didnât abandon her.
Until now. The night of their sixteenth birthday, Isabeau leaves Reuel sitting on her front porch and heads homeâand in the morning, Reuel is missing. Sheâs gone for three days, and when she reappears, thereâs something wrong with her. Sheâs sick. Really sick. And she doesnât remember anything that happened while she was gone.
If thereâs any bright side to the situation, itâs that Reuelâs peculiar disappearance brings the six girls back together. Their sisterhood feels as strong as it was years ago, but when another one of them disappears, they all agree that they must have more in common than simply their birthday. They all feel it. Somethingâs been waiting for them, and that something has come to claim them one by one.
Deep in their bones, they knowâitâs just a matter of time until they theyâre all taken. And if they donât save themselves, no one will.
Sleep Like Death By. Kalynn Bayron
New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kalynn Bayron returns to fairytales with a lush, thrilling and original YA Snow White retelling that brings a new and exciting voice to this familiar tale. Perfect for fans of Cinderella Is Dead.
Only the truly desperate – and foolish – seek out the Knight, an ancient monster who twists wishes into curses. Eve knows this first-hand: one of her mothers was cursed by the Knight and trapped in the body of a songbird. With the unique abilities to communicate with animals and conjure weapons from nature, Eve has trained all her life to defeat him.
With more and more villagers harmed by the Knight’s corrupt deals, Eve believes she’s finally ready to face him. But when Queen Regina begins acting strangely – talking to seemingly no one, isolating herself, and lashing out at the slightest provocation – Eve must question if her powers are enough to save her family and her kingdom.
Tangled Up in You By. Christina Lauren
She has a dream. He has a plan. Together theyâll take a leap of faith.
Ren has never held an iPhone, googled the answer to a question, or followed a crush on social media. What she has done: Read a book or two, or three (okay, hundreds). Taught herself to paint. Built a working wind power system from scratch. But for all the books sheâs read, Ren has never found one thatâs taught a woman raised on a homestead and off the grid for most of her twenty-two years how to live in the real world. So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.
Fitz has the rest of his life mapped out: Graduate from Corona at the top of his class, get his criminal record wiped clean, and pass himself off as the rich, handsome player everyone thinks he is. Heâs a few short months from checking off step one of his plans when Ren Gylden, with her cascading blonde hair and encyclopedic brain, crashes into his life, and for the first time Fitzâs plan is in jeopardy.
But a simple assignment in their immunology seminar changes the course of both their lives, and suddenly theyâre thrown out of the frying pan and into the fire on a road trip that will lead them in the most unexpected directions. Out on the open road, the world somehow shifts, and the unlikely pair realize that, maybe, the key to the dreams they’ve both been chasing have been sitting next to them the whole time.
A Novel Love Story By. Ashley Poston
A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction⌠literally.
Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men donât leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why sheâs so set on going to her annual book club retreat this yearâshe needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gesturesâno matter what.
But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like itâs right out of a novelâŚ
Because it is.
This place canât be real, and yet⌠sheâs here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy storeâs honey taffy is always sweet, the local barâs burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. Itâs perfectâand perfectly frozen, trapped in the late authorâs last unfinished story.
Elsy is sure thatâs why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending.
Except there is a character in Eloraton that she canât placeâa grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book.
Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the townâs happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.
