August, I can't believe you're here already! With all the excitement for the releases of Threshing Day in September and ACOTAR 6 in October, we may overlook some of the great releases that are happening before that.
This month sees the release of some fantastic paperbacks that will be a must-read for anyone that loves a gothic theme. It also sees the release of The House That Eats the Dead by Max Doty (Hardback) - I was fortunate enough to get a proof of this and I was hooked! A great read for those that love a haunted house, but this one has a twist...
Anyway, without further ado, here are some books to look forward to this month! All are currently available to pre-order.
