Its finally April and raining like crazy here, but I am already looking forward to May! Here are 2 books releasing in May that I need right now:
Love’s Cruel Redemption by CL Stone
From USA TODAY Bestselling Author, C. L. Stone, read Love’s Cruel Redemption, the much-anticipated twelfth book in The Academy Ghost Bird Series.
Sang’s life was on pause after the dramatic break with her real family. Now she’s back in the game, returning to Ashley Waters to appear like a normal student. However, returning to school hasn’t made her life any easier. When it comes to the Academy and her role in the secret organization, there’s no such thing as normal.
When Kota’s mother catches Sang and the guys in the complex web of lies they’ve woven, everything starts to unravel: Their relationships, their ties to the Academy. Everything’s under risk of exposure.
Nathan struggles most with his conscience and lying to Erica Lee, the woman who supported him when his own mother was never there, doesn’t seem like the right thing to do. She’s his family and Nathan knows you shouldn’t lie to family. But he also knows the truth could hurt her: It could put Erica in danger. And it could force Kota to make a choice he should never have to: his mother and sister, or his team—his chosen family.
With Ashley Waters High School under attack and the principal now missing, the Academy needs to maintain its cover more than ever. It’s a bad time for Erica to start discovering what the Academy is really all about.
But to protect them all, Nathan’s willing to take the heat. He’ll do it for Sang, as well as Kota, Victor, Silas, Gabriel, Luke, North, and the rest of the team. He may be their only chance at survival.
But Sang, who committed to be all in with her team, isn’t about to let Nathan go down alone.
The Academy: Family First
Why I need it:
This series has totally sucked me in! I love the characters and the plot. Stone’s writing pulls me in and I simply cannot put the books down! I have reread all the books in this series
Dirty Bastard by Jessica Clare
Knox Price has always fallen short in comparison to his brothers. Boone is the ambitious one. Clay is the nice one. Gage is the handsome one. And Knox? Well, he’s the cynical one. The odd man out in the ultra-wealthy but rather unique Price family. It’s not that Knox hates people–it’s that humanity always disappoints him. When you become an oil-rich, Texan billionaire overnight, people treat you a certain way. Just once he’d like to meet someone that isn’t dazzled by his wallet.
Then, he meets struggling yoga teacher Lexi Brandon. She’s weird. She’s unpredictable and tends to say strange things. She lurks in the bushes and dresses in all black. She loves when people cross the street to get away from her. Lexi’s definitely not his type, but she’s also the first one to ever truly see him and not just another rich, dirty Price.
And that’s…fascinating. But how do you catch the interest of a woman who goes out of her way to be odd? When an unexpected surprise throws them both for a loop, Knox decides it’s time to get down and dirty, abandon the rules, and be who he truly is–a bastard.
Why I need it:
The last book ended with a huge twist!! I was shocked! This series totally took me by surprise and I have really gotten engrossed in it. It kind of reminds me of the old TV show Dallas!
What book are you waiting on? Wanna see everything releasing in May? Check it out!

I’ve got Dirty Bastard on my list but the one and only review that I read on it wasn’t a favorable one so I’m wondering if I’ll even read it. Probably, just not right this second.
I still need to grab book 2 in that JClare series!
I am so far behind in with The Ghost Bird books. I need to catch up, because for some reason, I love Sang and all her boys.
I’m not familiar with either of these series. I’m glad you get to read them soon though!
