Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender
Forbidden from studying magic at Lancaster College of Alchemic Science, Ash takes a job as groundskeeper to learn alchemy in secret. When an apprentice named Ramsay Thorne discovers him, Ash expects to get arrested. Instead, the two strike a deal: Ramsay will keep Ash’s secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source. As they work together, they face perilous danger and confront influential alchemists, including Ash’s estranged father, as their feelings for each other deepen. The journey forces Ash to redefine true power and question the lengths alchemists will go to obtain it.
Kacen Callendar’s new book release is the YA author’s fantasy debut. Infinity Alchemist is a fun fantasy romance adventure with diverse and complex characters.

Bride by Ali Hazelwood
Misery Lark, daughter of a powerful Vampyre councilman, is tasked with upholding a fragile peace alliance with the Weres. Forced into a marriage of convenience with Were Alpha Lowe Moreland, she conceals her true motives. As trust wavers between them, Misery navigates a dangerous path to reclaim what truly matters, even if it means a solitary life in Were territory alongside the formidable Alpha.
While fans know Ali Hazelwood for her contemporary romance novels, she’s diving into the paranormal with Bride. Fans of Twilight, Teen Wolf and monster romances in general will love this one from Hazelwood.
How the Boogeyman Became a Poet by Tony Keith Jr.
Tony dreams of a future studying poetry in college, but he’s been haunted since childhood. Faced with the challenge of being the first in his family to attend college and grappling with his feelings for boys, he conceals his true self, seeking solace in secret online spaces and poetry. As he navigates the journey from high school to college, Tony struggles to find his authentic voice while confronting the internal Boogeyman that threatens to expose the most significant aspects of his identity to the world.
Poet, writer, and hip-hop educator Tony Keith Jr.’s YA debut draws on his own experiences growing up as a closeted Black teen. How the Boogeyman Became a Poet is a powerful novel in verse and coming-of-age story all in one.

That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming
Unlucky-in-love cheesemaker Brie mistakenly throws a love potion at a stranger who turns out to be a lactose-intolerant werewolf. Now Brie must convince the enamored werewolf that they’re not fated mates, but victims of a potion. However, having a handsome man doing her chores and showering compliments proves to be an unexpected new turn in Brie’s complicated romantic misadventures.
Kimberly Lemming’s new book release comes right on the heels of the last one, That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon. And don’t worry, there’ll be a follow-up to That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf soon, too.
The Absinthe Underground by Jamie Pacton
In the Belle Époque city of Severon, runaway Sybil longs for a thrilling life of freedom with her best friend Esme. When they set out to steal rare posters for cash, Maeve, a Green Fairie, catches them in the act. Maeve offers them financial freedom in return for a daring heist in the Fae realm. Despite their suspicions, Sybil and Esme know the risky adventure is too good of an offer to pass up.
I’ve seen descriptions of The Absinthe Underground as Moulin Rouge meets Holly Black, and I’m intrigued. Jamie Pacton’s new book release will be a cozy fantasy romance full of pining and Art Deco aesthetics.

Trials of Empire by Richard Swan
As the Empire of the Wolf crumbles, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena try to save their home by seeking allies beyond its borders. The wolfmen of the southern plains and the pagan clans in the north may hold salvation, but old hate runs deep. As alliances form on both sides of the mortal plane, the fate of the Empire hangs in the balance, teetering between justice and the looming shadow of tyranny.
Trials of Empire is the dramatic conclusion to the Empire of the Wolf trilogy. Richard Swan’s series has transformed from a legal thriller to medieval horror, and this sequel takes everything to new heights.

He shares a flat with his sister Greta, he’s excelling at work despite being the only Maori employee and even holding onto a complicated friendship.
