3 May Book Releases I Can’t Wait To Read

April 30, 2020      Erica Robyn      13 Comments

I am SO excited about these three books that are launching in May. Two I have had my eye on for some time, and one I just recently heard about.

Note: This post no longer features Amazon affiliate links. While I greatly appreciate the support from you all in the past, now more than ever, we need to help support our independent bookstores. Please try to purchase the book(s) from your local bookstore if you are able. <3 If you need help finding a shop that will ship to you, I’d be happy to help!

Let’s dive in!

May Book Releases

Fractured Tide by Leslie Lutz
Expected publication date
: May 5th, 2020
Genre: Horror

Synopsis: Sia practically grew up in the water scuba diving, and wreck dives are run of the mill. Take the tourists out. Explore the reef. Uncover the secrets locked in the sunken craft. But this time … the dive goes terribly wrong.

Attacked by a mysterious creature, Sia’s boat is sunk, her customers are killed, and she washes up on a deserted island with no sign of rescue in sight. Waiting in the water is a seemingly unstoppable monster that is still hungry. In the jungle just off the beach are dangers best left untested. When Sia reunites with a handful of survivors, she sees it as the first sign of light.

Sia is wrong.

Between the gulf of deadly seawater in front of her and suffocating depth of the jungle behind her, even the island isn’t what it seems.

Haunted by her own mistakes and an inescapable dread, Sia’s best hope for finding answers may rest in the center of the island, at the bottom of a flooded sinkhole that only she has the skills to navigate. But even if the creature lurking in the depths doesn’t swallow her and the other survivors, the secrets of their fractured reality on the island might.


Malorie (Bird Box, #2) by Josh Malerman
Expected publication date: May 19th, 2020
Genre: Horror

Malorie (Bird Box, #2) by Josh Malerman book cover

Synopsis: In the thrilling sequel to Bird Box, the inspiration for the record-breaking Netflix film that starred Sandra Bullock and “absolutely riveted” Stephen King, New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman brings unseen horrors to life.

The film adaptation of Malerman’s first novel, Bird Box, was watched by over forty-five million Netflix accounts in the first week, the best first seven days ever for a film on the platform. Countless more came to know the story through social media. The image of Sandra Bullock’s character, Malorie, blindfolded—as she’s led through a terrifying near-future apocalypse by the trained ears of her children—has become synonymous with a new generation of horror.

Now from the mind of a true master of suspense comes the next chapter in the riveting tale. This time, Malorie is front and center, and she will confront the dangers of her world head-on.


Relic Hunters: Blood of the Dragon by Martin Ferguson
Expected Publication Date: May 25th, 2020
Genre: Action & Adventure

This is book four in this amazing series! For more information, stay tuned to the author’s Facebook page!

Anger Is An Acid by Michael Clark
