    4.12 The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

    It took me a while to get on the Ali Hazelwood train, but this Kylo Ren/Rey fan fiction inspired romance was the perfect introduction. It's got all of the will they won't they, banter, and just a little spice. Plus a strong FMC in STEM! Do you have a favorite Ali Hazelwood book?

    4.11 Heir of Storms by Lauryn Hamilton Murray

    I'm calling it now. I think Heir of Storms is going to be the next big fantasy series. With a sequel coming out later this year, the world building, political intrigue, and characters learning their own strength, this has all of the makings of a fabulous fantasy series.

    4.8 The Floating Admiral by The Detective Club

    This is the most murder mysteries of mysteries. Not only is there a murder, but also, the authors don't know what each other has planned or is going to write. The writing process is almost more intriguing than the mystery itself and you won't want to put this down.

    4.7 The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent

    This is the sequel to The Serpent and the Wings of Night (Ep. 4.5) It starts off a little slow, but give it 75 pages and you will be hooked. The world building and intrigue continues with tons of action and twists and turns. Plus more will they, won't they to keep you entertained. Even better, when you finish, if you aren't ready to say goodbye to the world, there are two more books about side characters that you can dive into next.

    4.6 The Turnglass by Gareth Rubin

    I'm not going to lie, I probably would have picked up this book to read no matter the genre just because the two stories back to back was so interesting and cool. Of course, it then turns out to be a murder mystery and I was hooked. Whether you like it or not, I can tell you that you will never read another book like this. It kind of reminds me of Stuart Turton in that it will constantly surprise you and half the time, you have no idea what is happening...even when you think you do. I can't wait for y'all to check out this book and tell me what you think!

    4.5 The Serpent and the Wings of Night
    Jul 29 2025
    4.5 The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

    This is one of those books that I went into expecting to like. It's fantasy with a strong female main character, a Hunger Games vibes competition, will they won't they, political dynamics, and enemies to lovers. It had everything I look for in a fantasy book. And let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Don't let the vampire premise throw you off. This is a well developed fantasy world featuring vampires, but also a lot more.
