Normally I add a quick little comment about why I’m excited for each of these releases but last month I tried skipping that and just including the Goodreads synopsis for each title. I honestly think I prefer having both on these posts so I’ll be including both this time around.
Each title is linked to its Goodreads page if you’re interested in adding one!
February is always a fantastic month for new book releases and this year is no exception! There are definitely plenty of new books to choose from and I cannot wait!
These are listed by release date and honorable mentions (books I either have no interest in or haven’t read their predecessors yet) will be posted at the bottom! Each title is also linked to their Goodreads page if you’d like to add them!
There are more than a few great books being released this month, much to look forward too! As always I will list these in order of their release date and will do an “honorable mentions” at the end of the post of other releases that I either need to catch up in the series on or just don’t care to read myself.
The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross
Release Date: February 6th
This is a YA Fantasy with a bit of magic and political intrigue, I happened to get an ARC of this one and wasn’t too impressed unfortunately. It was a little too slow for me.
You can read my full review here.
The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton
Release Date: February 6th
I AM SO BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK! It actually kind of reminds me of “Uglies” because people are born gray and need the help of a Belle to be made beautiful.
By a Charm and a Curse by Jaime Questell
Release Date: February 6th
I’m all for carnival books especially ones that are bound together by a curse! Sounds interesting!
Honor Among Thieves by Rachel Caine & Ann Aguirre
Release Date: February 13th
A YA sci-fi about two girls traveling space in a sentient spaceship, I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this and it was an alright read but not as fantastic as I thought it would be.

Pitch Dark by Courtney Alameda
Release Date: February 20th
This is probably one of my most anticipated books of the year because 1.) YA Horror is very underrated and 2.) the premise sounds just like ‘Alien’ and that’s one of my all time favorite horror franchises so yeah I’m pumped!
Fire & Bone by Rachel A. Marks
Release Date: February 20th
This one is an urban fantasy about a girl who discovers she’s the daughter of a Celtic goddess, I’m just excited because you don’t see a whole lot of Celtic mythology in YA books!
The Tombs by Deborah Schaumberg
Release Date: February 20th
I actually just finished up an ARC of this and it was okay but nothing really impressive. I’ll have a full review up soon! (P.S. it’s a historical fiction!)
Ink, Iron, & Glass by Gwendolyn Clare
Release Date: February 20th
A YA historical fiction set in Italy and revolving around a girl’s talent for “scriptology” which a person can use to create new worlds. Sounds very, very good!
The Armored Saint by Myke Cole
Release Date: February 20th
This is a fantasy novella from Tor about a girl who rebels against an Order that kills mages to prevent demons from being unleashed into the world. Basically it sounds badass and novellas are quick reads!
Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston
Release Date: February 27th, 2017
Another book where I was very lucky to recieve an ARC, this is described as ‘Anastasia in Space’ which is both fitting and not so much at the same time. It was an enjoyable read but not anything to write home about.

People Like Us by Dana Mele
Release Date: February 27th
I’ve heard this being pitched as “Gay ‘Mean Girls'” so I am 100% sold!
Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman
Release Date: February 27th
I’m always a sucker for fantasy especially when it involves dragons, so I’m interested!
The Traitor’s Game by Jennifer A. Nielson
Release Date: February 27th
Another YA Fantasy but from the synopsis I’m getting strong hints of politics which is my favorite in fantasies!
Cadaver & Queen by Alisa Kwitney
Release Date: February 27th
This is a sort of ‘Frankenstein’ retelling involving a girl, who is the first female med student at the academy, who wants to prove herself by fixing a faulty Bio-mechanical (mechanized cadavers used for study) and finds that it contains the “human spark” of Victor Frankenstein.
Honorable Mentions:
Shadowsong (Wintersong #2) by S. Jae-Jones
Release Date: February 6th
I just feel like “Wintersong” should have been a standalone….
American Panda by Gloria Chao
Release Date: February 6th
Immortal Reign (Fallen Kingdoms #6) by Morgan Rhodes
Release Date: February 6th
Sightwitch (The Witchlands #0.5) by Susan Dennard
Release Date: February 13th

Release Date: February 13th
Shatter (Glitter #2) by Aprilynne Pike
