2023 Debut Books I’m Excited About

2023 Debut Books I’m Excited About

February 7, 2023 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

This week I’m sharing the 2023 debut books that I’m excited to read. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I love finding new authors that I love. And what I love more than finding already established authors that I love—finding new authors altogether. It’s like I have discovered a secret and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. So today I’m sharing the 2023 debut books that I can’t wait to read this year. And I hope I will love and get to share with you all. 

So let’s get into it here are the 2023 debut books that I am super excited to read. Most of the books on this list are romance, and not surprised by that at all. It is what I am really loving at the moment. And neverthless, like always these are in no order.  

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson | Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee. | Playing For Keeps by Tristen Crone. | Forget Me Not by Julie Soto. 

A Realm of Ash and Shadow (A Realm of Ash and Shadow #1) by Lara Buckheit. | Far From Neverland Rylee Hale. | The Curse of Saints (The Curse of Saints #1). by Kate Dramis | A Game of Hearts and Heists (Girl Games #1) by Ruby Roe.

The Davenports (The Davenports #1) by Krystal Marquis. |  Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald. 

And there we go those are some of the debut books coming out in 2023 that I can’t wait to read. There are so many times I read debuts without even realising so let’s see if I can find anymore throughout the year. So what debuts are you looking forward to in 2023? Have you read any debuts this year so far? And let’s chat!

    I read an ARC of The Nanny and you are in for some fun with that one! I hope you love it. Same for the rest of these. I need to check out Crone’s book. I hadn’t seen that one before.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
