New Book Releases: June 23rd to June 29th, 2025

The last whole week of June will see over 380 new books releasing.

I will cover five of the highlights of this week here, and then you can check out our new book releases podcast as Vin covers ten more great new books coming out.

Lisa Jewell is one of the best thriller authors out there, and her latest is finally here this week.

Don't Let Him In is the title of her latest novel, which is making many Summer reading lists. Publications such as USA Today, E! News, CrimeReads and People have declared this one of the most anticipated reads of the Summer.

A charming stranger inserts himself into the lives of three women, and one of them is married to him.

When Nina Swann hears from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, she’s drawn to his charm and ease. Her daughter Ash is less convinced and secretly starts digging into his past.

In another town, florist Martha grows uneasy about her husband Alistair’s frequent absences. As their stories converge, long-buried secrets surface, and the women realize the same man may be hiding a terrifying truth.

And I’m biased as standalone thrillers are my favourite genre – especially over the Summer. I spend the first couple of weeks of July at a cottage and always look for thrillers involving cottages or lakes to read. So you better believe I have It Happened on The Lake by Lisa Jackson pre-ordered.

Twenty years ago, Harper Prescott’s boyfriend vanished, and her grandmother died under suspicious circumstances. All on the same night. No one was ever charged, but the small Oregon town never stopped whispering.

Now divorced and hoping to sell the isolated Victorian home she inherited, Harper returns to Lake Twilight. The locals still think she’s hiding something. As strange things begin happening around the property, Harper starts to suspect someone is watching her. Someone who remembers that night as well as she does. The past isn’t finished with Harper, and the truth might be even darker than the rumours.

The latest release by Danielle Steel is here. A Mother's Love headlines a big Tuesday release day.

Halley Holbrook, a bestselling author and devoted mother, is adjusting to life alone after her twin daughters move across the country. Determined not to dwell on the painful childhood she’s kept hidden, she books a solo trip to Paris to mark her fiftieth birthday.

But when her purse is stolen, and the thief won’t leave her alone, dark memories she’s long buried begin to resurface. With the help of a new friend, Halley must confront her past and find the strength to fight back.

Great news for fans of the delightful Sunrise Cove series by Jill Shalvis, as the latest entry releases this week.

Nothing beats reading about Sunrise Cove in the Summer. The latest release is titled The Love Fix.

In this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers story, Lexi Clark returns to Sunrise Cove with her life in shambles and no interest in facing the past. But when her stepsister asks her to help fulfil their late mother’s final wish, Lexi finds herself on a road trip with the last person she wants to see: her childhood enemy turned reluctant crush, Heath Bowman.

As they repay old debts and revisit painful memories, Lexi is forced to confront her past and the walls she’s built. What starts as a frustrating obligation soon becomes a journey of forgiveness, unexpected connection, and a chance at the love she never believed in.

And are you in the mood for some summer romance? Then Maisey Yates has you covered, with Cruel Summer, the latest release by the NYT & USA Today Bestselling author.

Samantha Parker’s life unravels when her husband suggests an open marriage just as they’re about to become empty nesters. Hoping it’s just a phase, she agrees to a summerlong separation with no contact, convinced they’ll reunite when it’s over.

But a cross-country trip with Logan, her husband’s best friend and the last person she expected to bond with, forces Sam to question everything. As sparks fly and emotions deepen, she’s faced with a choice: return to the life she thought she wanted or risk everything for the future she never saw coming.
