January brings with it a season of new beginnings—a new year, new resolutions, and even new relationships. As we begin this exciting journey, let’s remember that enjoying the ride is just as important as reaching our destinations. So, this year, let’s make sure to truly immerse ourselves in each story and adventure we encounter. To kick off this new quest, here are some promising releases hitting the shelves this month:
Just JJ’s top pick:
Title: A Sea of Unspoken Things
Author: Adrienne Young
Genre: Fantasy
(7 Jan)
James Golden has always shared a deep connection with her twin brother, Johnny—a connection so strong that she could feel his emotions as if they were her own. When tragedy strikes and Johnny is killed in a shocking accident, she feels his absence even before her phone rings to confirm the devastating news. As James grapples with her grief, she is forced to confront not only their shared dark past but also the one man who knows their secrets. It soon becomes clear that James’s unique connection with Johnny may not be entirely gone, and she may not have known him as well as she believed. Determined to uncover the truth, James will learn that some truths are dangerous and perhaps better left buried forever.
