The Ultimate Q4 Book Release Guide: Romantasy, Dark Romance & Chaotic Maasverse Theories!

 

Hey Book Babes! 🦇✨ Welcome back to the Coven's master archive where your TBR is about to get completely out of control.

​If you thought our bookshelves were already a red flag just wait until you hear what is dropping in October, November, and December. Season 5 Episode 2 is officially live! This week Kirsty, Jess, and I are losing our absolute minds over the massive quarter four book releases. We are talking spicy romantasy, unhinged dark romance, monster smut, and even those cozy small town contemporary romances that are going to completely ruin our sleep schedules!

​Seriously my wallet is already weeping... and honestly yours is about to be too.

​The Most Unhinged Q4 Reading Hoard 📚🔥

​We did not hold back on this list. We break down nearly 30 upcoming book drops that you desperately need to pre-order right now! From massive heavy hitters to the absolute best indie romance authors, we are screaming about all of them. Are you ready for Vasmora by Keri Lake because I am literally feral for it! We also obsess over upcoming releases from LJ Andrews, Briar Boleyn, K.F. Breene, and Catherine Cowles.

​Whether you need a morally gray shadow daddy to ruin your life or a sweet sports romance to cure a brutal book hangover, we have your late year reading completely locked down.

​Crescent City Spoilers & ACOTAR 6 Predictions 👑🦇

​You already know we could not look at a Q4 list without spiraling into total Maasverse chaos! Jess finally gets to talk about that insane Crescent City crossover moment and we are laying all of our wildest theories on the line for Sarah J. Maas and A Court of Splintered Harmony. Who is the actual villain? What is the timeline doing? We put all our predictions out there to see just how wrong we will be when the book finally drops!

​Childhood Cough Syrup & Weird International Quirks 🥄💀

​Because staying on topic is simply not what we do here we also get totally sidetracked. We go from ranking spicy book covers straight into the shared trauma of childhood pink cough syrup and literal thinking! Kirsty also gives us the absolute best rundown of Australian Halloween differences and why the World Series is so confusing to the rest of the planet. It is chaotic, it is hilarious, and it is exactly the kind of unhinged book bestie chat you need today.
