New Book Releases Today: June 1st, 2025

A happy, and hopefully lazy, Sunday to all our readers. Today is June 1st, and a new month means a whole month of new books. Oh, and something about the weather too. The important thing is the books, though. The list below kicks off what is sure to be a great month of new book releases.

The Savannah Slueths Series by Veronica Mixon begins with Beyond the Shadows. When Emma Lynn Whitmore returns to her childhood home in Savannah after the death of her husband, she expects quiet days and healing evenings on the porch—not the resurgence of a fifty-year-old mystery buried in her family’s attic. A faded photograph, a cryptic promise, and the name of a girl long erased from polite conversation suggest one chilling truth: Delilah didn’t run away. She disappeared.

Joined by her old high school sleuthing crew—sharp-tongued Margaret and quietly brilliant Graham—Emma Lynn wades into the murky waters of the past. Tangled in family secrets, forgotten land deeds, and long-held grudges, the trio digs where others have feared to look. With wit, stubborn resolve, and no concern for their aching joints, they’re determined to unearth the truth. And this time, they won’t stop until Delilah is finally brought home.

Dancing Toward Forever by Emily Hampton is a love of love, faith, and finding home. Brooke Andrews thought ballet and New York were her future—until her best friend Danielle died, and grief replaced ambition. Now, dancing is just survival. Her sister Dawn is determined to pull her back to life—with faith, love, and a persistent worship leader named Emmett Taylor. Kind, grounded, and everything Brooke thinks she doesn’t deserve, Emmett keeps showing up. Through quiet conversations and unexpected moments, Brooke begins to hope again. But when Emmett is thrust into viral fame, Brooke must face her fears and ask: can she find love after loss—or will her guilt keep her from believing she’s worthy of it?

The Ticket to the Stars Series by Candace Wondrak continues with Ticket to the Stars: Part Two. Joining Black Sacrament was supposed to be a career move—not a love story. But for Maggie Stiefer, now known to the world as Angel, the band became home… and its members became everything. There’s Priest, the playful frontman who stole her first kiss. Deacon, the brooding drummer hiding pain behind silence. And Bishop, her long-lost childhood best friend whose kindness still cuts deep. Together, they make her whole. But someone is threatening to tear it all apart—someone who wants Angel gone. As the pressure mounts, she must fight for the music, the love, and the future they’ve only just begun.

The Poison of the Earth ist he first book in the Spirit Bound Series by Tilly Bramley. For thirty years, Lonan Stromwaters has led the rebellion against the tyrant’s heir who now sits the high throne. By his side stands Captain Kai Ignisroth, his milk brother and most loyal sword, both bound by blood and vengeance for the family they lost. As alliances form and war stirs across the lands of Faery, their moment of reckoning draws near. But amid the fire of revolution, Oleander has her own plan: claim a place not just in the coming victory, but in Lonan’s bed. To her, desire is power—and she intends to wield both, no matter the cost.
