9 Recently Released Paranormal-y Books On My Must Read List

I feel like I find myself wanting to read certain types of books at certain times of the year — it’s always contemporary in the summer and I seem to want like Gothic reads or paranormal/urban fantasy/supernaturally reads during the Fall.  I was feeling SO out of the loop of what was coming out/what has recently come out so I spent some time on Goodreads perusing to add stuff to my TBR and figured I would share some new paranormal books, supernatural or urban fantasy books that I added to my MUST READ list. Basically anything out in the last year or so or upcoming!

I feel like I went through this phase, after the Twilight era, where I got real burnt out on paranormal sorts of books that I didn’t read them for YEARS. BUT NOW I AM SO IN THE MOOD FOR THEM ALL and I feel like it’s been hard to find stuff like that! Soooo let me know your fave recent paranormal, paranormal romance or urban fantasy stuff!

These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling

The perfect witchy paranormal book to read around Halloween, I think, especially considering it is set in Salem! This one is about a teenage witch dealing with normal teenage problems until dark magic is released around town that she thinks is the work of a blood witch. She has to team up with her ex-girlfriend (and fellow witch) when nobody in her coven believes her to try to get to the bottom of it and, during that quest, she also happens to meet a new girl in town who she crushes on hard. NO BIG DEAL…just has to save her town and try to get the girl, right?

Crave by Tracy Wolff

Looking for your next new YA paranormal romance book after reading Midnight Sun and getting all those Twilight era vampire feelings? Check out Crave for an entertaining, escapist read to satiate that nostalgia for Twilight. It’s about a teen girl who moves to Alaska after the death of her parents and starts at the boarding school her uncle is the headmaster of — a boarding school she can tell something is off (and she’s not WRONG  — it’s filled with supernatural creatures like the hot vampire she can’t stop running into). One of the new YA paranormal romance books Twilight fans are going to eat up!

Ironspark by C.M. McGuire

This urban fantasy debut is for all you fae lovers! It’s about a girl whose family was ruined when the fae showed up 9 years ago (mother taken, father cursed, forced into hiding) and she’s been learning how to kill them ever since. Perfect timing because they return to town and she sets out to do just that but it doesn’t go quite according to plan when she realizes she is going to need backup in the form of new friends as well as the discovery of a book of fae magic that belonged to her mother.

Smoke and Key by Kelsey Sutton

Like a little mystery with your paranormal? Check out this book about a dead girl who has no recollection of who she is, why she’s dead and how she got to Under from her grave. All she’s got is a key around her neck, which was with her when she died, as a clue. With the help of some new friends she starts to try to find the pieces to put together her story all while having some flashbacks that makes her feel like these new friends were part of her story before. And then the murders start…the ones that make the dead stay dead. It becomes an even bigger race to find the truth.

Labyrinth Lost  by Zoraida Cordova: Witches! Latin American inspired mythology! I’ve heard amazing things about this one!

Odd & True Cat Winters: I love historical fiction that has a supernatural/paranormal twist to it and that looks like exactly what this is!
