2024’s Best Book Releases
As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, it’s the perfect time to check out some exciting new reads! This month, I will be highlighting a variety of popular book releases. From promising heartwarming romances to gripping thrillers; from the emotional rollercoasters of Lynn Painter’s “ Nothing Like The Movies” to the unexpected twists of Jason Rekulak’s “ The Last One at the Wedding”, there is something for every reader. Whether you’re in the mood for fantasy, romance, or thrillers, these upcoming releases will surely keep you turning the pages!
“Nothing Like The Movies” by Lynn Painter
“ Nothing Like The Movies” by Lynn Painter, a sequel to “ Better Than The Movies”, was released on October 1st, 2024. This book continues with Wes and Liz, the main characters of “Better Than The Movies.” Sadly, the happy ending in “Better Than The Movies” did not last long when a few months later, a fallout caused Wes to lose Liz. Fast forward to two years later, Wes finds himself on the same university campus as Liz. Being in a healthier state, Wes is determined to win back Liz’s heart even with the long and hard process along with Liz’s reluctance to interact.
“The Striker” by Ana Huang
Most well-known for her “ Twisted” series, Ana Huang is returning this October with a new romance release– “ The Striker”. The first book from the “ Gods of the Game” series follows the story of a football star, Asher Donovan, and a ballerina, Scarlet Dubois. Despite a feud between Asher and a rival-turned-teammate that costs the team a championship, he starts to develop feelings for the new trainer—Scarlett, who just happens to be his rival’s sister.
The book release is on October 22nd, 2024!
“ Spectacular” by Stephanie Garber
If you are a fan of the “Caraval” trilogy, this would be the perfect book for this winter. Although it comes out on October 22nd, I suggest fellow readers to save it for Christmas— it definitely has more of a snowy vibe than an autumn one. Readers return to the whimsical world of Caraval where the Dragna sisters are preparing for Great Holiday Eve. While Scarlett is planning a perfect holiday celebration for the Meridian Empire, Donatella is searching for the perfect gift for Legend, who sadly, is not fond of the Great Holiday. How will the celebrations play out in a whirlwind of love, merriment, and not to mention, poisoned candy? I suppose you would have to read to find out. Saving my most anticipated book release for last, I urge everyone to read more of Stephanie Garber’s work as she incorporates the perfect amount of detail–not too little, not too much. (Again, this is a personal preference!).
“The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door” by H. G. Parry
The author of “ The Magician’s Daughter” is coming with “ The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door” — A blend of mythical magic tales and historical fiction. In 1920 Camford, Clover, a commoner, attends a secret magical academy to find cure for her brother, Matthew, a survivor of a faerie attack. After catching the attention of Aden Lennox-Fontaine, she enters a new world of magical aristocrats, whose experiments often lead to dark consequences. Years later, when the faerie seal breaks, Clover must seek the help of her former friends to save their world from disaster.
“ The Last One at the Wedding” by Jason Rekulak
If the romance and fantasy releases mentioned above do not interest you, don’t worry,this one will be an edge-of-your-seat thriller. In this book, Frank Szatowski is surprised when his daughter, Maggie, invites him to her wedding in New Hampshire after three years of silence. Excited to reconnect, he arrives at a luxurious estate to discover that Maggie is being wed to Aidan Gardner, the son of a wealthy tech billionaire. Feeling out of place, Frank struggles to bond with Maggie and her new family, especially when Aidan is distant and the locals are weirdly hostile to the Garner family. Frank is worried about breaking his fragile relationship with his daughter again as he seeks to learn more about the new family.
The pre-order is open now on Amazon, and the release date will be Oct 8th, 2024.
