Most Anticipated Books Releasing In The Second Half of 2023

Most Anticipated Books Releasing In The Second Half of 2023

July 11, 2023 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 9 Comments

This week I’m sharing my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of 2023. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

It’s freebie week this week and I decided to pick a topic that I missed a few weeks ago and share with you some of my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of the year. 

I can’t believe that it’s already July! Where has this year gone? I’ve had a pretty good reading year so far, and there are so many books that I am looking forward to reading in the second half of the year. There are also so many books releasing during the second half of 2023 that I cannot wait to read. And this is a great post to get at least some of them down. 

So let’s get into it. Here are some of my most anticipated books releasing during the second half of 2023 that I cannot wait to read. As always these are in no real order. 

Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2) by Rebecca Yarros. | Better Hate than Never (The Wilmot Sisters, #2) by Chloe Liese. | Hopeless. (Chestnut Springs. #5) by Elsie Silver. | Madame (Salacious Players Club, #6) by Sara Cate.

Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date (Bright Falls, #3) by Ashley Herring Blake. | Wildfire (Maple Hills, #2) by Hannah Grace. | Pucking Wild. (Jacksonville Rays. #2) by Emily Rath. | Love Redesigned (Lakefront Billionaires, #1) by Lauren Asher.

Hunt on Dark Waters (Crimson Sails, #1) by Katee Robert. | The Chalice of the Gods (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #6) by Rick Riordan.

And there we go. Those are some of my most anticipated reads for the second half of 2023. I’m so excited about all of these, and I don’t know what I want to read first. Nevertheless, what are excited to read? Are any of the books on my list on yours? So, let’s chat!

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?
