The Pools by E. Lockhart (Delacorte) - not yet added to Goodreads, release month announced by author on social media.
"...In which two teenagers’ lives—and the lives of everyone in their quiet New England town—are forever altered by a shocking transformation."
The Revolution of Olivia Witherson by S. Isabelle (Storytide) - moved from June 2026.
In
this engrossing companion to The Great Misfortune of Stella Sedgwick
set in 1860s Paris, prim and proper Olivia Witherson is poised to become
the wife of a wealthy businessman, until she’s shown a side of the city
she’s never seen—and considers a potential future she never imagined.
Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Davenports.
Olivia
Witherson has it all figured out. Once she’s married to Samuel Desir, a
handsome (and rich) businessman in the making, she’ll be able to step
into the life of upper-class comfort she’s always known she’s destined
for. Getting kidnapped by a gang of ruffians and being held for ransom
in their grubby headquarters on the outskirts of Paris… was not part of
the plan.
Olivia is sure that Jac Santil, head of the Saints
Tristes gang, is the most loathsome, infuriating person she’s ever met.
But the longer she spends with the Saints, the more good she sees them
doing—distributing food and medicine to the poor, taking in orphaned
children, and organizing the exploited laborers of Paris, the same
workers who staff Samuel’s factories. Soon, Olivia must acknowledge that
there may be more to the Saints, and to Jac, than meets the eye, and
that the life of luxury she’d always dreamed of may never come to
fruition.
Devil's Advocate by Amanda DeWitt (Peachtree Teen)

There can only be one antichrist, and suddenly her and her half-siblings are all poised to compete for the coveted spot as their dad’s right hand. As the youngest, no one takes Ada seriously. While they clamor to insert themselves in the presidential campaign on behalf of Nelson Campbell, an oil executive-turned-politician, Ada gets herself an internship with Senator Perry Harlow, his competition. They want to help a bad guy? She’s going to sabotage a good one.
The problem is, the more she tries to ruin her sibling’s attempts to get in their dad’s good graces, the more Ada realizes that…maybe it feels good to do the right thing, even for the wrong reasons. As the campaign heats up and the timer on the apocalypse winds down, Ada has to make a decision: you can be a good daughter or a good person, but with a dad like hers, you can’t be both.
An endearing and clever read for fans of Supernatural and White Cat, following a feisty, charismatic protagonist. Set against the backdrop of a presidential election, Ada’s struggles will resonate with teens who are frustrated by today’s political landscape and are tired of adults sabotaging their futures to further their own petty ambitions.

Spellwright by Heather Kassner (Atheneum) - description not yet updated on Goodreads.
The next day, the library announces the theft of an unsettlingly dangerous grimoire, and suspicion falls to Fia. The only way to clear her name is to root out the thieves she espied that night. But solving a magical theft isn’t easy work while running the spell shop her mother left behind. She’ll need assistance.
Impulsively, Fia hires the first person who applies to help mind the store—the insufferably dark-eyed Penbrook Madbury, who is as sleepy as a cat and just as stubborn. Fia isn’t sure she can trust him with her reckless plan (let alone her beloved shop), but there’s something about the secretive magician that seems to lower her guard. As a strange, treacherous magic begins curling through the town, Fia will have to risk her own gargoyle-guarded heart to break a string of curses before they claim her and Penbrook both. And if some of those curses require kisses to break them, well, that’s just part of the job.
Fleet of Wonders by Erin Hànyù Lynch (Nancy Paulsen Books) - description not yet updated on Goodreads.
Gold. Power. Glory. Love. Four prizes that eighteen-year-old, mixed-race factory workers Eliza and Jules—barely scraping by in Ikaria’s slums—can imagine only in their wildest dreams. When Jules’s deteriorating health takes a turn for the worse and Eliza is thrown to the streets by her abusive mother and stepfather, Eliza hatches a plan.
She sets her sights on the Ikarian Empire’s inaugural Fleet of Wonders: a brutal naval competition where fifty fantastical battleships crewed by the nation’s greatest young minds race to invent a weapon deadly enough to fend off a brewing war with Ikaria’s neighbor. The victors win life-changing riches…if they can survive their rivals’ cutthroat attacks.
Impersonating foreign nobility, Eliza and Jules steal aboard the Belladonna, the crown vessel of the Fleet. Among their crew is none other than Pierre, the imperious, alluring heir to the very factory Eliza and Jules escaped—and a powerful smith who can bend metal to his will. Finally embracing her own darkly magical abilities, Eliza agrees to train with Pierre to give their crew an added advantage—all while the seductive push and pull energy between them becomes irresistible …even as Eliza catches the eye of Charlotte, a dangerous, enigmatic aristocrat, whose deadly charm is only outmatched by her lethal way with a sabre.
Meanwhile, as Jules falls for sweet, bookish Suman, a medical student who has given him a new lease on life, Jules risks revealing his true identity as the two get closer.
As they advance in the competition, sinister revelations leave Eliza and Jules torn between the empire that offers them their dreams and their blood ties to a nation Ikaria once conquered. In the end, they must decide who they are and what price they will pay to change their fortunes—if their hearts don’t betray them first.

After an accident leaves Riley Wilson with amnesia to deal with on top of his chronic pain, he can recall everything except for: the crash that landed him in the hospital, the last year of his life, and having a boyfriend. Who happens to be his older brother’s best friend. And the guy he resents more than anyone...
Learning this information sends Riley spiraling. In what world, then, could someone as sensible and meticulous as Riley have ever willingly agree to go out with Aaron—an arrogant prick who screwed up his brother’s life?
Riley would love nothing more than to use his amnesia as an excuse to start fresh and snip Aaron out of his life. But with his family being cagey about the past, and his memories far out of reach, he realizes that this troublemaker is the only person willing to help him remember the last year. And teaming up with him despite his brother’s protests may be the only path to finding the missing memories—even if it means starting from square one and reenacting every date, every kiss, every “first” they’ve ever had in the hopes of rediscovering them.
All Riley has to do is not make the same mistake by falling in love twice.
