Now, many of these are eArcs so please check their individual reviews for publication dates. 

And while I would say everyone should read all of these there are definitely some stand outs. So here are the three books I believe you absolutely should read!

Wolf's Path by Joyce Chng
Honestly, if you just read one book on this list I'd make it this one. This collection of short stories spans Chng's career and is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. Chng's emotions and thoughts on both their self and the world at large are on full display and there were many times that it felt like I had discovered their diary lying open and could not keep myself from reading it but yet they had clearly written it for me. Truly one of the best collections of stories I have ever read. 

User Not Found is a dystopia censorship tale for certain, but it is also one of love, support, and community. When so many are facing true erasure from a government ran by men who are simply cowards User Not Found reminds us that light can be found even in the darkest of times. 

The Ghost Princess was simply a ton of fun! Walsh expertly takes some of the most overused tropes on the planet and turns them on their heads. With a great cast of characters and some truly intense action scenes if you're looking for a true escape from this dystopian hellscape we find ourselves is this is the book I'd read!

I've got a ton of great books for March to read and I'll be getting my TBR uploaded here shortly so stick around!

Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper

Eudora Fellowes leads for the most part a simple life, one for a woman of her time may appear to others as odd being single at forty three with only her dogs as companions, but for her she could not ask for anything more. That is until she discovers she is the sole heir to her Great Aunt Emmeline's fortune, including a seaside estate in the country side and while she is a little hesitant at first to accept, remembering little of the aunt or her home she decides a vacation home away from the city may be nice. The minute Mr. Bentley her aunt's solicitor brings her in High Hearth she knows she's made the right choice, the huge mansion may cluttered and too much for one woman and her dogs but she knows that this is her home. What she doesn't know is that others are already there, trapped for eternity, who spiraled from grief to madness.  First of all that cover is next freaking level genius as well as the title it all ties in so well to the story that had I not ...

The Ghost Princess by M. Walsh

Image
When a strange set of occurrences lead a group of complete strangers on a collision course where half of them want the world to end, the other half want to save it, and one man in particular just really isn't supposed to be here a hero will emerge...okay I'm lying a girl with a serious case of PTSD, a half Succubus half Orc demon, and a man with a curse will emerge and well fuck some shit up, which will definitely result in the world being saved. At least for the moment.  Holy fuck this was hands down the surprise 5 star read of the year for me. And I'm going to be completely honest every review prior to mine is what made me move it to the very tippy top of my TBR, because I had barely read the prologue and was already hooked when when I saw some of the ratings.  Ghost Princess was absolutely unlike anything I have ever read and yet reminded me of some of my favorite books and anime. Walsh took some of the most obnoxious tropes ever and made them absolutely freaking...

The Jinxed Pirate by M. Walsh

Image
Katrina has decided to see if the survivors of Vigor will accept her back, which doesn't go over very well, as a kind of peace offering one of the surviving Nobles tells her Jagger her boyfriend from before the war is alive. With nothing to lose and everything to gain Katrina sets off to find Jagger.  In the meantime, Krutch and Arkady are once again tracked down and after getting away (by tumbling off a cliff) he finds himself in a weird Mission, with a weird woman who is far too interested in him. After another escape this time from the mission he and Jessica, aka Audra Fay set off for Seba, where Krutch plans to lie low. Audra has other ideas though and Krutch immediately finds himself rubbing elbows with some of the most powerful men in the Grayland's criminal underworld.  Lily believes she can now live among humans so she heads North only to discover her monstrous instincts are not as under control as she believed. After brutally murdering a guard she flees ba...
