2023 is here and already off to a great start, with many exciting releases coming out this month! From fantasy to mystery to romance, there is something for everyone. Below are the releases that caught my eye and may just help jump-start your new year reading goals.

Just JJ’s top pick:

Title: Chain of Thorns

Author: Cassandra Clare

Genre: Fantasy

             (January 31st 2023)

First impressions: Like a moth to a flame, I cannot resist books I know will cause emotional damage…

After all that she’s been through, Cordelia Carstairs hopes to forget her sorrows in Paris with Matthew Fairchild. This respite is cut short when she receives shocking news from London regarding the escape of Tatiana Blackthorn and the threat by Belial, the Prince of Hell. With the Herondales under suspicion of dealing with demons, and their friends drowning beneath the waves of their secrets, Cordelia and James seem destined to face what is coming alone. But time is short, and the stakes are high because failure may mean they lose everything – even their souls.
