Anticipated May 2025 Releases

   

I just want to add a quick note before I get to this post that I apologize for not having any reviews up this week! Life ended up getting much busier than I anticipated these past two weeks and I'm slightly behind on... everything, but I should have a new one up for you all soon. :)

May is absolutely packed with new releases and I am already overwhelmed but also incredibly excited to read them all! I have ARCs of a number of these, some I've already read (The Devils, which was so fun), and many I haven't (Written on the Dark, Letter from the Lonesome Shore, Overgrowth, The Incandescent, The Starving Saints etc...)--and I'm really hoping I can get to all of them because they all sound amazing.

What May releases are you most looking forward? Let me know below, and be sure to let me know if I missed any of your most anticipated releases on this list as well.
Happy reading!
