With the sequel, Kingdom of the Cursed, out in October, be transported to 19th century Palermo, where you’ll follow two sisters, one brutal murder and a quest for vengeance that will unleash hell itself (oh and an intoxicating romance that will ruin you, did I mention that before?).

Dance of Thieves
by Mary P. Pearson
From the author who obliterated all our teenage lives with the plot twists in The Remnant Chronicles comes the Dance of Thieves duology – set in the same universe, following a thief and a young leader of an outlaw dynasty in a battle of wits and hearts. I don’t know about you, but this gives me ALL the Six of Crows vibes and really there’s no better way to sell a book to me and the general YA market. Addictive, romance-heavy and sure to leave you reeling after THAT cliffhanger, thank goodness the conclusion to the duology, Vow of Thieves, is already out for you to dive straight into!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
by Holly Jackson
A debut YA crime thriller series that is literally unputdownable and perfect for fans of Karen McManus! Told in multimedia format, following young student Pip as she investigates a closed case murder in her small town for a class assignment, things start getting too real when she uncovers secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. I can’t tell you how many times I gasped in outright shock while reading this entire trilogy (yes, a fully released series, the BookTok gods have blessed us all), this whodunit nail-biter will be your new obsession with a clever and fearless teen detective who’ll keep you riveted the whole way through.
