Tuesday Book Releases: 7 Books You Should Look Out for This Week

Hey Booksworms!

Welcome back to my blog. This is the first installment in a new feature I am doing weekly that will showcase 7 (or so) YA books that I am super pumped about being released this week. I have my monthly post of ALL the releases for that said month, but with this feature I want to highlight the ones in particular that are on my radar.

Let’s jump right in shall we?


  • There Will Come a Darkness by Katy Rose Pool
    • The synopsis for this one sounds so awesome and unique that I know it will be a book right up my alley!
  • Kingdom of Lost Souls by Rena Barron
    • Witchdoctors and Demon Kings? I honestly don’t have to say any more than that. I need this NOW!
  • We Are Lost and Found by Helene Dunbar
    • 1980’s heartbreaking LGBT+ contemporary centered looming threat of aids? I am here and I have grabbed my tissues.
  • Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake
    • The final installment of one of my favorite series’. There is a rumor going around that Kendare doesn’t hold anything back. So does that mean no one is safe?? Better keep the tissues around for this one too.
  • Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
    • Witches and lots and lots of smut. Sign me up! Scratch that, I’m already at the front of the line.
  • Red Skies Falling by Alex London
    • The exciting sequel to last year’s Skybound, sees our heroes preparing for war. I can’t wait!
  • Rated by Melissa Grey
    • A new sci-fi, dystopian novel based on a societal rating system? Black mirror vibes here we come and I am so there for that.

Are you excited for any of these releases as much as I am? I hope I was able to add a new book to your TBR. Happy reading ~

GIVEAWAY: Sea Witch Rising by Sarah Henning [ENDED]

Hey Bookworms!

I have a very special post today! I have partnered up with the team at Wunderkind PR to bring you a very special GIVEAWAY!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

“The Little Mermaid” takes a twisted turn in this thrilling sequel to villainess origin story Sea Witch , as the forces of land and sea clash in an epic battle for freedom, redemption, and true love.

Runa will not let her twin sister die. Alia traded her voice to the Sea Witch for a shot at happiness with a prince who doesn’t love her. And his rejection will literally kill her—unless Runa intervenes. 

Under the sea, Evie craves her own freedom—but liberation from her role as Sea Witch will require an exchange she may not be willing to make. With their hearts’ desires at odds, what will Runa and Evie be willing to sacrifice to save their worlds? 

Told from alternating perspectives, this epic fairy tale retelling is a romantic and heart-wrenching story about the complications of sisterhood, the uncompromising nature of magic, and the cost of redemption.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Sarah Henning is a recovering journalist who has worked for The Palm Beach Post, Kansas City Star and Associated Press, among others. When not writing, she runs ultramarathons, hits the playground with her two kids and hangs out with her husband Justin, who doubles as her long-suffering IT department. Sarah lives in Lawrence, Kansas, hometown of Langston Hughes, William S. Burroughs and a really good basketball team.

This is also the month I turn another year older. That has it’s pros and cons. HA! And it doesn’t end there.
