Sydney J Shields recommends

Savage Blooms (2025)
(Unearthly Delights, book 1)
S T Gibson
"With Savage Blooms, Gibson cements herself as one of the strongest and most unique voices in gothic romance. This dangerous and decadent subversion of a found family is fresh, unabashedly queer, and gripping from the very first rain-soaked page. Gibson is a ferociously talented writer at the top of her game."

I Killed the King (2025)
(I Killed the King, book 1)
Andrea Hannah and Rebecca Mix
"I Killed the King is a thrilling, snowed-in mystery where no one is innocent. Every character has a dark secret and a rival just across the room who could reveal it. Packed with forbidden romance, delicious tension, and brilliant twists, this book is completely addictive."

The Gods Time Forgot (2025)
Kelsie Sheridan Gonzalez
"For a book about lost memories, it's entirely unforgettable. Rua and Finn are my new obsessions. Their tension is just as delightful as their banter, and the finale is nothing short of brilliant. I devoured this glittering, beguiling jewel of a novel."
