Kamilah Cole recommends

What Wakes the Bells (2025)
Elle Tesch
"An utterly fresh tale you'll want to read over and over again, What Wakes the Bells stuns from the first page to the last, reverberating through your heart like a vesper bell--without the doom, of course. Mina is the demisexual heroine of my dreams, whose love--for her family and friends, for her duty and her heart--creates its own powerful, world-shaking magic."

To Steal from Thieves (2025)
(Thieves & Kings, book 1)
M K Lobb
"Insightful and fun, To Steal from Thieves spins a clever, unforgettable narrative about how desperation forges us into dangerous people - and how to reconcile and love those parts of ourselves anyway. M.K. Lobb has never heard of a sophomore slump. This new series opener is a sophomore success, in every sense of the word."

Where Shadows Bloom (2025)
Catherine Bakewell
"Gorgeous, lyrical, and incredibly emotional, Where Shadows Bloom is a story about love in all its forms - when it's false, when it's real, when it hurts, and when it heals. I cannot recommend this dark daydream of a novel highly enough."
