Most Anticipated 2025 Releases

Most Anticipated 2025 Releases

January 7, 2025 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing my most anticipated books releasing in the first half of 2025. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

2025 is already a year filled with books that I cannot wait to read. And today I thought it would be fun to share some of the books I cannot wait to read in the next few months. Some are new to me authors, some are sequels to series that I cannot wait to see more of and everything in between. So let’s get into it, here are just some of the 2025 new releases that I am excited for in the first half of the year.

Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3) by Rebecca Yarros. | All the Missing Pieces. by Catherine Cowles. | Rewind It Back (Windy City, #5) by Liz Tomforde. | Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young.

The Charlie Method (Campus Diaries, #3) by Elle Kennedy. | Deep End by Ali Hazelwood. | First-Time Caller (Heartstrings, #1) by B.K. Borison. | Beautiful Exile (Sparrow Falls #4) by Catherine Cowles.

Wild Side (Rose Hill, #3) by Elsie Silver. | Wild and Wrangled (Rebel Blue Ranch, #4) by Lyla Sage.

And there we go, those are just some of my most anticipated releasing coming out in the first half of 2025. What books made it onto your list? Do we share any that are the same? Let’s chat!

    Onyx Storm is so huge that we have a whole slew of special rules for it at Barnes & Noble – we’re not allowed to open the boxes ahead of release date, they have to be placed in an area with special security, and more!! It’s crazy!

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? 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?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.
