New releases on my radar: 1st – 7th Mar 2026 (UK)

Beast Becomes Her by Crystal Seitz (3rd, Fantasy); In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde (3rd, Romance); The Library of Amorlin by Kalyn Josephson

My picks: ✨ Blood over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang ✨ Of Blood and Fire by Ryan Cahill ✨ The Silverblood Promise by James Logan ✨ The Blood Trials

The Astral Library by Kate Quinn (26th, Fantasy); Cleopatra by Saara El-Arifi (26th, Historical); Flame Theory by C.F.E. Black (27th, Fantasy)

While the banter and character dynamics were fun, the disjointed storyline and heavy spice kept me from loving ‘Mate’.

Crown of War and Shadow by J.R. Ward (17th, Fantasy); I’m Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home by Fergus Craig (17th, Mystery)

My picks: ✨ Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner ✨ French Holiday by Sarah Ready ✨ Five Survive by Holly Jackson ✨ Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Elemental Awakening by Bobbie Wirkmaa (9th, Fantasy); Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman (10th, Science Fiction); The Better Mother

‘The Housemaid’ is an addictive read with killer twists, but the irritating characters and tropes weren’t my cup of tea.
