Most Anticipated New Releases of May 2017

Well, May looks better than April did. Still, I'm bored with the selection of new releases. Everything sounds the same. Maybe people just suck at writing blurbs. I don't know. Maybe this is why I prefer small press and indies.

Dreamfall by Amy Plum

Release Date: May 2, 2017
Touted as Nightmare on Elm Street meets Inception, this YA SciFi may be just what the doctor ordered. Teenagers with insomnia seeking treatment but end up trapped in their dream state - sounds awesome!

Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

Release Date: May 2, 2017
Another fantasy, I know, but it could be good. I am after all a fan of Mulan and this has a similar feel to it since the main character dresses as a boy in an attempt to save herself. Like I said, slim pickings in the mainstream new releases these days.

The Black Witch by Laurie Forest

Release Date: May 2, 2017
Honestly, this one is another flyer. I don't know, it could be good or it could royally suck. A girl who doesn't have any powers in a world that revolves around powers. Meh, maybe it will be good. Hopefully?

One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus

Release Date: May 30, 2017
They had me at The Breakfast Club. Just saying, I'm a fan, always have been, always will be. Hopefully with the added murder mystery (apparently a la Pretty Little Liars), it will be a worthy and entertaining read.
