Laura Thalassa recommends

Half City (2026)
(Harker Academy , book 1)
Kate Golden
"Is it too early to say this is the best book of 2026? Yes? No? Because it has been a long time since a story has made me feel this way. Bad ass fmc? Check. Academy vibes? Check. Enemies to lovers romance? Check. Refreshing world building with enough nuance and mystery to leave me desperate for more? CHECK. Kate takes all the beloved genre traditions of urban fantasy and academy books and makes it her own, and the result is something rich and entirely new. It's going to be a long time until I get over this book."

What Fury Brings (2025)
(Wrath and Fury, book 1)
Tricia Levenseller
"This was a delicious, sexy read and a wicked ode to feminine rage. Tricia Levenseller delivers a story with a powerful female lead, magnetic chemistry, and lush worldbuilding!"

Arcana Academy (2025)
(Arcana Academy, book 1)
Elise Kova
"Elise Kova is the queen when it comes to fantasy! Arcana Academy has a brilliant storyline, a unique and refreshing magic system, and a heart-stopping romance!"
