September Shelf
New month, new potential P.O.W.ER Reads 🤩
I have so many P.O.W.ER Read posts to catch up on, so many recommendations. But while I’m trying to translate my fangirl feels into words, check out what’s on my shelf for September.
Currently Reading:
🥀Eos Rising by D.M. Lewry : Urban fantasy /paranormal romance sequel to The phenomenal Eos Key. I have the arc, but this steamy supernatural read is coming September 13, 2025. Get the first book and pre-order this one asap if you like books/shows like A Discovery of Witches and True Blood.
🗣️Paramour by Robin Alvarez: An empathic banshee stricken with a magical affliction falls for a human while evading hunters. This is a YA fantasy I’ve just started, so I’ll have more details in a later post. But I’m excited for this one.
Up next:
💥Livewire by Sarah Raughley: The cover alone looks amazing, but a sci-fi story centering a Black girl with superpowers? I’m sold.
