 If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas or Holly Black, you’ll definitely want to check out The Forest King's Daughter. This one’s a wild ride, mixing magic, forbidden love, and a war that could destroy everything. Cassia, a forest princess, wears an amber ring gifted to her by a demon boy named Zeru.

2. The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith

 In The Rose Bargain, Ivy Benton’s debut season is anything but typical. Instead of the usual debutante drama, Ivy finds herself competing for the heart of Prince Bram, the fae son of the immortal fae queen. It’s not just about love, though—winning his heart could save her family and free her sister from a devastating bargain. But in the world of fae magic, things are never that simple. As Ivy uncovers secrets and dark plots, she’ll have to decide whether to risk it all for love or stay in her family’s favor. Think The Cruel Prince meets The Selection—this one’s packed with competition, romance, and enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat.


3. Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

Release Date: February 4, 2025


 If you’ve been loving Ali Hazelwood’s steamy, science-based romances, then Deep End is for you. Scarlett Vandermeer, a college diver recovering from a career-threatening injury, is focused solely on her future in med school—until she meets Lukas Blomqvist, the golden boy swim captain with a world-class reputation. What starts as a no-strings fling quickly turns into something much more intense as the pressure leading up to the Olympics heats up. Scarlett and Lukas have to figure out how to navigate their sizzling chemistry while dealing with the challenges of competitive sports and personal ambition. If you’re in the mood for some steamy romance and Olympic-level tension, this one’s a must-read!


4. A Rebel Without Claws by Juliette Cross

Release Date: February 11, 2025


 Sometimes, a bad boy werewolf is exactly what you need—especially if you're Celine Cruz, an Aura witch with a heart for healing. Ronan Reed is no stranger to trouble, and when he heads to Louisiana after yet another bar fight, he never expects to be completely captivated by Celine. She’s everything he shouldn’t want: sweet, good, and a bit of a rule-follower. But there’s something about her that makes it impossible to stay away. As their forbidden romance heats up, Ronan realizes that their connection could put them both in danger. A Rebel Without Claws is perfect for those who love paranormal romance with a tough-but-tender bad boy, sizzling chemistry, and a love story that defies all the rules.


5. The Beasts We Bury by D.L. Taylor

Release Date: February 4, 2025



 If you’re in the mood for a dark, twisty YA romantasy, The Beasts We Bury should definitely be on your radar. Mancella Cliff, heir to the throne, has the power to summon animals, but only after killing them with her own hands—a reminder of the cruel reign of her father. Enter Silver, a charming thief with plans to rob the castle and get revenge on Mancella’s father. But when Silver meets Mancella, he realizes that manipulating her might not be as easy as he thought, especially as his feelings for her start to grow. As the tension between ambition and love builds, Silver will have to decide how far he’s willing to go. With betrayal, magic, and a forbidden romance at its heart, this one is perfect for fans of morally complex characters and high-stakes drama.
