The Story’s Not Over, It’s Ablaze: Ember Boys by Gregory Ashe
You absolutely, categorically cannot read Ember Boys before you’ve read the Hollow Folk books.
But once you’ve read Hollow Folk? You absolutely, categorically cannot not read Ember Boys.
Revels and Roars and Might Just Rip Your Throat Out: Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
I can’t even come close to doing this book justice, but I tried!
Fast and Furious DNF: Forging a Nightmare by Patricia A. Jackson
Not so much nope! as absolutely fucking NOT.
You Couldn’t Pay Me to Put It Down: The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik
I couldn’t put it down for a second, and I did not want to.
You’ll Grieve When It’s Over: Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
Quiet and sweet and you will cry at least once.
But that’s okay.
Shapeshifting Fun: Monkey Around by Jadie Jang
An original take on shapeshifters in Urban Fantasy, and hopefully the start of a series, because I want a sequel, damn it!
Yearning Like Honey, Desire Like Blood: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo
I never doubted for a second that this was going to be good.
But it’s not good.
It’s motherfucking breathtaking.
Like Shotgunning Summer Sunshine: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
This book is an outpouring of feels and laughs and found-family and queer celebration, and I could not possibly love it more.
Reading it Once, Reviewing it Thrice: A Ferry of Bones & Gold by Hailey Turner
Look, if you want good Urban Fantasy, just go read The Tarot Sequence by KD Edwards. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain.
