Big Bad Wolf by Laurie Gilmore – 8th September
I can’t tell you how excited I am to read a different genre of Laurie Gilmore book. I adore the Dream Harbor series as they’re such cosy reads so I’m very intrigued to see what this will be like. A huge plus as well is that it’s only £2.99 on Kindle currently, so you can pre-order it for a steal.
I’m not completely caught up on her books yet as I feel like I’ve missed the right time of year to read The Daisy Chain Flower Shop, but I’ll likely be checking this out over the autumn months.

Synopsis: The darker the woods, the bigger the secrets…
Ruby Bellerose lives on the edge of the woods, in a cottage more akin to a fairy tale than modern day life. Her love life is basically non-existent, and she keeps away from the whispered gossip that travels through Maple Hollow.
Until a chance encounter with Rafe.
As mysterious as he is brooding, Ruby is drawn to the woodsman, curious to find out more about the stranger who lives deep within the woods.
But Rafe is hiding a secret. And with something lurking in the shadowy forest, will Ruby find that Rafe is her knight in shining armor or something altogether more dangerous…
Grim Tidings by B.K. Borison – 15th September
For some reason before starting this post, I assumed this next instalment would also be set around Christmas, but it’s not. Hurray! That actually means I can read the first one, Good Spirits, first as it’s part of my 12 Books of Christmas series this year (a cheeky sneak peak for you), and then I can check out this one around Halloween. I haven’t planned any spooky season reads yet but this will definitely be high on my priority list.
I’ve only read one other book by B.K. Borison but I really enjoyed it so I have very little doubt I won’t love this series too.

Synopsis: Darcy Moore is tired of death. Which would be fine and good … if she wasn’t a Grim Reaper. Determined to outrun her designation as the villain, Darcy decides she won’t be dragging her next assignment to the underworld. She’ll be saving him instead.
Unfortunately for Darcy, there’s a complication in her plan. Guardian Angel Gabriel Aetos doesn’t tolerate threats to his little corner of the world, and a Grim Reaper showing up at his bar is as deadly as it gets. But when he realizes Darcy is not as she seems, Gabriel must decide if he can trust his growing feelings or hold on to his long-standing grudge.
But magic doesn’t come without consequences. And the Department of Hauntings & Spirits will eventually come calling for their missing Reaper.
A spooky yet simmering enemies-to-lovers tale to keep you warm this fall.
The Mirror of Infinite Endings by Stephanie Garber – 22nd September
I haven’t read book three in this series yet, but I’m still so excited for The Mirror of Infinite Endings. I actually think this coming out will push me to finally read book three, something that I’ll have more time for after mid-September.
Stephanie Garber is one of very few authors that I’ve actually read all but one or two of their books. I adore the Caraval series, but I love this one even more. Evangeline and Jacks are everything to me – I know they’re a little bit toxic and this isn’t a romance (technically) but I just love them. Jacks may be a walking red flag but that’s what makes him so interesting – hate a red flag in real life, but I’ll overlook them in a fantasy book.

Synopsis: Jacks and Evangeline Fox have finally found their happily ever after.
Everything here in the Hollow is wonderful and perfect.
Nothing is going to go wrong.
No one is keeping a secret . . . except for maybe one.
But don’t worry, it’s not going to rewrite reality or alter history or change the ending of Jacks and Evangeline’s story.
Definitely not.
Featuring cameos from fan-favorite characters and twenty full-page illustrations by Lotusbubble, the newest installment in the Once Upon a Broken Heart universe will immerse readers once again in this beloved, #1 New York Times bestselling series. Because every story has the potential for infinite endings.
Trust Fall by Lynn Painter – 29th September
Oh look, yet another autumnal read (fall for my American readers). Lynn Painter and I aren’t on the best of terms since Nothing Like the Movies, but I do still love her other books a lot. I think I own all of them, but I haven’t read them all.
The synopsis of Trust Fall doesn’t sound very autumnal but the cover screams it. For those who don’t know, orange is one of my favourite colours so anytime I see a mostly orange cover I get very excited.
I feel like Lynn Painter is very good at writing autumnal romances – not sure what I’m basing this one, but it feels right.

Synopsis: Julia is just a small-town girl from Nebraska who loves her peaceful life. But when her elderly next-door neighbor—who just happens to be a secret multi-millionaire—leaves everything to Julia and her family after his passing, Julia is swept away to live in a historic brownstone in New York City and attend an elite private school for the super-rich.
It should be a dream come true. Wrong. Julia doesn’t fit in at her new school; worse, she’s failing. Enter Damion, the mysterious and handsome tutor who will get Julia back on track. Except Damion has a secret. He is the great-nephew of the man who left everything to Julia’s family. Damion doesn’t buy for a second that the person who was like a father to him would leave his home to strangers. And he’s determined to prove it.
To uncover the truth, Damion schemes to earn Julia’s trust. Not an easy task with Julia unsure about this rich boy with a rebellious personality. But the more time Damion spends with Julia, the more his plan begins to backfire. Because he is falling for the enemy—and the enemy is falling for him.
As Damion and Julia figure out where they belong, can they see past their differences and act on their feelings, or will the trust Damion has worked so hard to gain fall apart?
