The Court of Miracles (A Court of Miracles #1) by Kester Grant
Les MisĂ©rables meets Six of Crows in this page-turning adventure as a young thief finds herself going head to head with leaders of Paris’s criminal underground in the wake of the French Revolution.
In the violent urban jungle of an alternate 1828 Paris, the French Revolution has failed and the city is divided between merciless royalty and nine underworld criminal guilds, known as the Court of Miracles. Eponine (Nina) ThĂ©nardier is a talented cat burglar and member of the Thieves Guild. Nina’s life is midnight robberies, avoiding her father’s fists, and watching over her naĂŻve adopted sister, Cosette (Ettie). When Ettie attracts the eye of the Tiger–the ruthless lord of the Guild of Flesh–Nina is caught in a desperate race to keep the younger girl safe. Her vow takes her from the city’s dark underbelly to the glittering court of Louis XVII. And it also forces Nina to make a terrible choice–protect Ettie and set off a brutal war between the guilds, or forever lose her sister to the Tiger.

The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth
Saoirse doesnât believe in love at first sight or happy endings. If they were real, her mother would still be able to remember her name and not in a care home with early onset dementia. A condition that Saoirse may one day turn out to have inherited. So sheâs not looking for a relationship. She doesnât see the point in igniting any romantic sparks if sheâs bound to burn out.
But after a chance encounter at an end-of-term house party, Saoirse is about to break her own rules. For a girl with one blue freckle, an irresistible sense of mischief, and a passion for rom-coms.
Unbothered by Saoirseâs no-relationships rulebook, Ruby proposes a loophole: They donât need true love to have one summer of fun, complete with every clichĂ©, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream upâand a binding agreement to end their romance come fall. It would be the perfect plan, if they werenât forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when itâs over, the characters actually fall in love⊠for real.

The Circus Rose by Betsy Cornwell
A queer retelling of âSnow White and Rose Redâ in which teenage twins battle evil religious extremists to save their loves and their circus family.
Twins Rosie and Ivory have grown up at their ringmaster motherâs knee, and after years on the road, theyâre returning to Port End, the closest place to home they know. Yet something has changed in the bustling city: fundamentalist flyers paper the walls and preachers fill the squares, warning of shadows falling over the land. The circus prepares a triumphant homecoming show, full of lights and spectacle that could chase away even the darkest shadow. But during Rosieâs tightrope act, disaster strikes.
In this lush, sensuous novel interwoven with themes of social justice and found family, itâs up to Ivory and her magician loveâwith the help of a dancing bearâto track down an evil priest and save their circus family before itâs too late.

But when Halcyon appears earlier than expected, Eva knows something has gone terribly wrong. Halcyon is on the run, hunted by her commander and charged with murder.
Though Halcyonâs life is spared during her trial, the punishment is heavy. And when Eva volunteers to serve part of Halcyonâs sentence, sheâs determined to find out exactly what happened. But as Eva begins her sentence, she quickly learns that there are fates much worse than death.

And then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life.
Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Woodâan ancient forest possessed by soulsâto enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace, or worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for.
The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda
Everyone knows the story of âthe girl from Widow Hills.â
Arden Maynor was just a child when she was swept away while sleepwalking during a terrifying rainstorm and went missing for days. Strangers and friends, neighbors and rescue workers, set up search parties and held vigils, praying for her safe return. Against all odds, she was found, alive, clinging to a storm drain. The girl from Widow Hills was a living miracle. Ardenâs mother wrote a book. Fame followed. Fans and fan letters, creeps, and stalkers. And every year, the anniversary. It all became too much. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and disappeared from the public eye.
Now a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden goes by Olivia. Sheâs managed to stay off the radar for the last few years. But with the twentieth anniversary of her rescue approaching, the media will inevitably renew its interest in Arden. Where is she now? Soon Olivia feels like sheâs being watched and begins sleepwalking again, like she did long ago, even waking outside her home. Until late one night she jolts awake in her yard. At her feet is the corpse of a man she knowsâfrom her previous life, as Arden Maynor.
And now, the girl from Widow Hills is about to become the center of the story, once again, in this propulsive page-turner from suspense master Megan Miranda.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic artistocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . .
From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes âa terrifying twist on classic gothic horrorâ (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexicoââfans of classic novels like Jane Eyre and Rebecca are in for a suspenseful treatâ (PopSugar).
After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, NoemĂ Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. Sheâs not sure what she will findâher cousinâs husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and NoemĂ knows little about the region.
NoemĂ is also an unlikely rescuer: Sheâs a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But sheâs also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousinâs new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by NoemĂ; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemiâs dreams with visions of blood and doom.
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the familyâs youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help NoemĂ, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his familyâs past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The familyâs once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as NoemĂ digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And NoemĂ, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.Â
Goddess in the Machine (Goddess in the Machine #1) by Lora Beth Johnson
When Andra wakes up, sheâs drowning.
Not only that, but sheâs in a hot, dirty cave, itâs the year 3102, and everyone keeps calling her Goddess. When Andra went into a cryonic sleep for a trip across the galaxy, she expected to wake up in a hundred years, not a thousand. Worst of all, the rest of the colonistsâincluding her family and friendsâare dead. They died centuries ago, and for some reason, their descendants think Andraâs a deity. She knows sheâs nothing special, but sheâll play along if it means she can figure out why she was left in stasis and how to get back to Earth.
Zhade, the exiled bastard prince of Eerensed, has other plans. Four years ago, the sleeping Goddessâs glass coffin disappeared from the palace, and Zhade devoted himself to finding it. Now heâs hoping the Goddess will be the key to taking his rightful place on the throneâif he can get her to play her part, that is. Because if his people realize she doesnât actually have the power to save their dying planet, theyâll kill her.
With a vicious monarch on the throne and a city tearing apart at the seams, Zhade and Andra might never be able to unlock the mystery of her fate, let alone find a way to unseat the king, especially since Zhade hasnât exactly been forthcoming with Andra. And a thousand years from home, is there any way of knowing that Earth is better than the planet sheâs woken to?Â
Besides the Goodreads link, that I always add in case you want to add the book to your TBR, this time Iâve also added a link to Book Depository, in case you want to pre-order the book there. In that case, I want you to know that as an affiliate, Iâll receive a small percentage of your purchase and it would be REALLY helpful to me, to buy more books, and keep sharing with you â€ïž
Great list Sofii! Court of Miracles is really refreshing in a lot of ways so that one is good. Goddess in the machine is a pretty genius sci-fi that I think you’ll love and I just started forest of souls đ

There are a lot of amazing books due out next month. These are all on my TBR too although I’m especially excited about Court Of Miracles and Mexican Gothic. I also love the sound of I Killed Zoe Spanos & Hunted By The Sky. Although I will admit that I’m frustrated about Where Dreams Descend getting pushed back; that one sounds incredible and I definitely hope to read it this year.
