Cemetery Boys: Espíritu by Aiden Thomas (Feiwel and Friends) - moved from 2024, then from September 2025, publisher confirms release date.
Julian used to be a ghost and now he can’t stop seeing them.
Ever since being sacrificed as part of a forbidden ritual, Julian has been able to see and communicate with the spirits of passed brujx. And that would be okay, if it allowed him to be part of his new boyfriend's community. But Julian’s also seeing other shadows in the corner of his eyes, glowing eyes in the dark, and “dark spots” on people – gaping, black gashes that are somehow wrong. He did ask his new magical boyfriend about it, but Yadriel has never heard of anything like it either, and he’s so busy with his new Brujx responsibilities, trying to figure out where all the new malingos are coming from, that Julian hates for his problems to ruin what little time together they have.
Then, a strange new brujx shows up. Ángel, as a nonbinary brujx, can heal the living and release the dead, but more than that, they can also see the same dark spots as Julian. Despite Yadriel’s reservations, Julian eagerly accepts their help. But, Ángel’s ruthless methods feel wrong to Julian, who wants to move away from hurting others.
With the shadows growing darker, and the discovery of a gaping dark spot on his friend Luca, Julian has to decide who he wants to put his trust in, and just how far he’s willing to go to save what is his.
Trixie Gerwin's hometown of Wood's Crossing is mind-numbingly dull--but she knows that a beguiling world of fae and magic lurks in the shadows. Growing up, it felt to Trixie like her Pops spent more time with them--those creatures, Mama used to say--than in their own world, with her.
When Trixie sneaks home past curfew the night of graduation, she expects Pops to give her the usual talking-to. Instead, her world is shattered: She witnesses his brutal murder in a moment so sudden, so uncanny, so inhuman, that she's powerless to stop it. The townies, willfully blind to what surrounds them, will blame wild animals. They'll call it an accident, a tragedy. They'll expect Trixie to move on.
But Trixie saw the unknowable thing that really did this. And she won't let the fae get away with it. Pulled into a war full of intrigue, deceit, and temptation, Trixie will stop at nothing in her fight for vengeance--for Pops, for Wood's Crossing. No matter what it takes.

But Bryn has always key to their survival is loyalty to their class—to Dursti—before family.

I Kissed Shara Wheeler meets Last Night at the Telegraph Club in this stylish sapphic YA romance from the award-winning author of Bestiary.
Taiwanese American teen and aspiring journalist Wendy Lin wants nothing more than to witness the downfall of her personal nemesis, the annoyingly perfect high achiever Helen Ouyang.

But not for long.
Chasing up a lead for the school paper, Wendy soon turns up a major story with Helen at its center—one involving a mysterious fire that destroyed a building and tore apart an immigrant community a decade earlier. Wendy investigates, certain she finally has the dirt she needs to bring Helen down.

Concluding
S. K. Ali’s powerful duology, The Keeper’s Records of Revolution,
Golden Flight returns to a divided world with war on the horizon.
How difficult is it to crash the party of the decade? Literally crash it?
The Golden Flight happens once every ten years — a gala to honor elites fallen in service of maintaining Upper Earth’s powerful hold on earth’s remaining populace and dwindling resources.
It’s a party where cunning new technology gets unveiled to masked revelers perpetually thirsty for fresh entertainment.
It’s also a party Raisa and Nayf plan to infiltrate to bring down Upper Earth for good.
Even with an old traitor, and a mysterious, ruthless avenger in their midst, pulling off a dangerous mission in enemy territory feels possible with record-keeper Khalda at the helm. To crack into Upper Earth, simply find strategic details hidden in the records.
However, they soon discover the toll of running a crew with competing, secretive goals: the lines between friend and foe begin to blur to violent ends.
But on an oil rig at the edge of the world, the sun rises and shines on a team member no one knows about. Will she bring the seed of hope or be the source of ultimate chaos? Just who is she — and why does she know exactly how to end the world?
They Called Us Wicked by Gloria Muñoz (Holiday House)
Four budding bruja BFFs face off against an anti-magic regime in this witchy, weird-girl YA dystopia for fans of Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore.
They’re a coven of four: Lucy, who can hear a whisper in a crowded room. Clara, who can read your innermost thoughts. Fabiola, who can see the future. And Sirena, who can manipulate your every emotion. They’ve been best friends since they met on the astral plane as kids, each of them hiding their gifts from a world that insists magic and witchcraft are a threat to humanity.
But they’ve never met in the real world…until now.
As a new student at the prestigious Fletcher University, Lucy is looking forward to a perfect freshman year full of in-person coven hangs and covert witchy fun. But something is off with Lucy’s roommate, Retta, almost like she might have latent magic powers she's unaware of (not possible...right?). So, when Retta disappears, Lucy knows it’s up to her and her coven to investigate—that is, if they can make time for occult recon amid college classes, flirty crushes, and friendship group growing pains.
As the search for Retta leads to an enchanted forest hidden under Fletcher’s campus, Lucy uncovers a chilling truth: maybe Fletcher is just another arm of the anti-magic regime. But are supernatural powers and ride-or-die friends enough to take down an oppressive authority that thinks you shouldn’t exist?
Equal parts coming-of-age friendship story and supernatural dystopia, this dazzling novel finds resistance to oppression in the extraordinary and the ordinary, from magic and spellcraft to friendship, heritage, and love.

Welcome to The Heart Trials.
The prize is love.
The cost is everything.
In Ethyria the highborn may love; the lowborn may only feel what the Benevolent allows.
Saltblood lowborn Axira Merreri survives the decaying districts by keeping her heart locked tight, couriering goods by day–and smuggling the ruler’s euphoric Heartfillers to the highborn by night. Until a drop goes wrong and her execution looms.
When she strikes a dangerous bargain to steal something from the Tournament of Hearts, a ruthless dating competition for highborn citizenship, she enters. Not for love. For freedom. But as the twisted allure of the competition shakes her and the trials turn deadly, an unexpected connection cracks her defenses, forcing her to confront a truth she fears: in a world where love powers a regime built on engineered happiness, the most dangerous weapon she has is her heart.

For fans of the cut-throat competition of The Hunger Games, Love Island, and Powerless, this dystopian romantasy explores what happens when the heart becomes the empire’s sharpest blade.

Do Revenge meets Where Sleeping Girls Lie in this dark-academia-stripped-bare novel about a student who uncovers a predator operating in plain sight at her new prestigious private arts high school.
Ava Quirk thought getting into Faraday, the fine arts private school of her dreams, could be a fresh start. Instead, her grades have tanked and her scholarship hangs by a thread.
Near failing out, Ava is presented with a deal. Her student advisor, local legend Peter Barden, agrees to pass her if she befriends Love Solt, a brilliant but guarded classmate. Barden says Love is troubled and could use some guidance. In turn, Ava can soak up Love’s academic prowess. If Ava does this—and gets him a copy of the top-secret novel Love’s writing—he’ll pass Ava. It’s an odd ask, but Ava’s desperate.
At first, friendship comes easy, trust is built, and she’s right where she needs to be to deliver on Barden’s ask. But as time goes by, she realizes she’s falling for Love, and the idea of betraying her is killing Ava. Then she reads Love’s novel…
If the devastating truth Love has penned gets out, many lives will be ruined. But if the secret stays hidden, many lives will be at risk. Ava faces an impossible turn her back on what she’s found, or close the book on a sinister villain who has gone unchecked for far too long.
