2022 July – December New Book Releases

Which books releasing in the second half of 2022 do you wish you could read right now?

Here it is! As of this post, this is the complete list of all the books I want to read that are being published during the remainder of 2022.

So many adventures to read by so many new-to-me authors! There are also highly anticipated sequels – looking at you, Bloodmarked! – forthcoming that I’ve been thinking about since last year, which also feels like forever ago. A lot of fantasy and romance make up this humongous list too. I think most of my favorite upcoming releases are being published in August, September, and November.

On Tuesday, I’ll be posting about my top 10 releases in the second half of 2022 that I’m excited about the most. Until then, please enjoy this list (that is in no way out of control):

Dark Alpha’s Need by Donna Grant (synopsis below)

There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you…

The latest threat uncovered, it is my honor and duty to oust those responsible for the slaughter of so many and make the Fae Others pay for their crimes. However, nothing could have prepared me for the stunning and curious female that crosses my path. She’s an enigma: equal parts strength and vulnerability. She quiets the rage I’ve carried within me for so long and makes me question Death’s directives for the first time ever. Her tragic, emotional story touches something deep within me, and her bravery is awe-inspiring—which makes it doubly hard to let her return to the enemy and the dangers that await. I never expected her, but I need her. She is everything to me, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure she’s safe and by my side. Forever.

But when she isn’t mucking out the wyvern stalls or coaxing the resident boggart to behave, Autumn searches for clues about her twin brother’s mysterious disappearance. Everyone else thinks he was devoured by the feared Hollow Dragon, but Autumn is convinced she’s heard–and glimpsed–him calling to her from within the castle walls. But who will believe a lowly servant?

So when Cai Morrigan, the “Chosen One” prophesied to one day destroy the Hollow Dragon, comes to her for help, Autumn agrees on one condition: Together, they’ll search for her brother and uncover the dark truth at the heart of enchanting Inglenook School once and for all.
