Series I Want To Start In 2022

Posted by angelreads TBR 2 Comments

A few weeks ago I shared the series that I want to finish reading this year. So today I thought I would share some of the series that I want to start. I mean I still have a whole load to finish, but sometimes you need something new and fresh. 

Most of these series are some but some young adult and fantasy made it to this list. Some of these series are completed and some have only just started. But let’s get right into it. As always these are in no order. Here are the series that I want to start in 2022.

A Demon’s Guide to the Afterlife by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane | The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen | The Plated Prisoner by Raven Kennedy | VIP by Kristen Callihan.

Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer | Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas | Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao | The Boulder Wolves by Olivia Wildenstein.

Souls Trilogy by Harley Laroux | Monsters & Muses by Sav R. Miller | Fae Guardians by Lana Pecherczyk | The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang.

And there we go. Those are the series’ that I want to start in 2022. As you can see it’s a range of series from new ones to completed series. And from romances to young adult and fantasy. Which series should I start on? Have you read any of them? Let’s Chat!

However, some I bought in January and they just arrived this month. And some I got for free little libraries. So, in the end, it’s not too bad. Thought I still did buy a few. 

Most of the books that I bought this month as usual were from work and Off The Book Pages. I received a few review copies and a couple as gifts. So, let’s get into it. As always these are in no order.

Succubus Chained. (Shackled Souls Trilogy #1) by Heather Long | Raw (RAW Family #1) by Belle Aurora | Lawless (Steel Demons MC #1) by Crystal Ash | Gild (The Plated Prisoner #1) by Raven Kennedy.

Something Like Love by Beverly Jenkins | Destiny’s Surrender. (Destiny #2) by Beverly Jenkins | Bombshell (Hell’s Belles #1) by Sarah MacLean | The Fine Print. (Dreamland Billionaires #1) by Lauren Asher.

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!
