📔I Am Not a Vampire (Anymore)
Darcy Miller
Random House Books for Young Readers
Publication date : June 9, 2026
352 pages, Hardcover
Genres : Young Adult Fiction, Romance, Paranormal

Being a teenager is complicated enough without having to deal with vampires, witches, immortal ex-boyfriends, and a newly turned vampire who needs babysitting!

In I Am Not a Vampire (Anymore), Darcy Miller delivers a witty and entertaining YA paranormal adventure that puts a fun twist on familiar vampire tropes. I loved the premise of a former vampire who has finally reclaimed her humanity, only to find herself pulled right back into the supernatural world she desperately wanted to leave behind. With Victorian vampire history colliding with modern teenage life, the story is an entertaining mix of supernatural trouble, complicated relationships, romantic tension, and dark humor. It is a fun pick if you enjoy vampires, witches, paranormal romance, and heroines who aren’t afraid to bite back.

📔Quagmire
Sam Campbell
Independently Published
Publication date : August 18, 2026
191 pages, Paperback
Genres : Middle Grade Fiction, Mystery

Twelve-year-old Cooper Knox joins a library book club hoping to escape his worries about his parents selling his late grandfather’s motel. But when fellow book club member Mr. O’Malley mysteriously disappears, Cooper and his granddaughter, Penny, set out to find him. Their only clue is a map that leads them into the dangerous Dark Swamp, where something terrifying might be lurking beneath the surface!

Quagmire is a fantastic adventure for young readers who love mysteries, quirky characters, and a little spooky suspense. I love that Cooper’s search for a missing friend is intertwined with his family’s struggle to save a place filled with precious memories. It gives the adventure an emotional connection beyond the mystery itself. The atmospheric marshes, mysterious map, and legendary monster give plenty of opportunities for unexpected discoveries, while Cooper and Penny’s mission brings friendship and courage into the mix. This short novel is perfect for readers who enjoy adventurous middle-grade stories with humor and a touch of danger !

In The Midnight Book Club, a writer inherits a London bookshop that holds a magical secret: after midnight, characters from beloved classics come to life! From Sense and Sensibility to Little Women and Anna Karenina, these unexpected visitors help Aurelia rediscover her creativity, rewrite a tragic ending, and perhaps find a happy ending of her own.

With literary magic, a charming bookshop, and a friends-to-lovers romance, this novel is a love letter to everyone who has ever wished they could step inside the pages of their favorite book! It is a delightful blend of cozy fantasy and romance, with a premise that will immediately appeal to readers who love getting lost in fictional worlds. I especially loved the idea of characters from classic novels stepping into Aurelia’s life and becoming part of her journey toward healing and love. As someone who adores Sense and Sensibility, the thought of seeing Austen’s characters in a magical bookshop was especially appealing!

Little A
Publication date : October 6, 2026
287 pages, Paperback
Genres : Contemporary Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Contemporary Romance

In a world where every detail can be curated, filtered, and perfected, what happens when the life everyone envies is the one you no longer recognize as your own? Looks Perfect explores the complicated relationship between public image and private identity through a fashion designer whose search for genuine connection begins with an anonymous dating app. Behind the glamour, the followers, and the picture-perfect life lies a woman trying to discover who she really is and whether being truly seen matters more than being admired.

With its exploration of influencer culture, the fashion industry, and the tension between appearances and reality, Looks Perfect offers an intriguing premise about the desire to be loved for who we are rather than who the world expects us to be. It is a story that invites readers to question the pursuit of perfection and consider whether the most meaningful connections happen when we finally let our guard down.
