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.

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.
