Most Anticipated Books of 2026 ✨ (40+ books, so many thriller, horror and romance books!)

And this one's from the same author as The Astrology House, which is a thriller that I read that I did really enjoy. I thought it was really fun.

This one is described as a horror inducing psychological suspense perfect for fans of The Push and Baby Teeth, which I also loved The Push, but I gave Baby Teeth one star, so like that has me a little bit nervous.

This is from the same author as Bright Young Women, which ended up in my top three books of the year when I read it.

Then it says and Butcher and Blackbird, which has me a little bit nervous because I gave that one star.

This one's coming out in March and this is from the same author as Chlorine, which is a horror book that I absolutely adored. Like, I really love that one.

I feel like I've been talking about this book so much and how excited I am for it because this is from the same author as Don't Let the Forest In, which was my number one book of 2025.

And even though I wasn't the biggest fan of that book, I knew I definitely wanted to give this author another shot.

And this one's technically the sequel to the romance book called First Time Caller that I thought was really cute. I think I gave that one like three and a half stars.

I also love that at the bottom it says for fans of love in the time of serial killers, which I gave five stars.

I can just feel it because Loveless is one of my favorite books of all time and because I'm also asexual, I feel like these books really mean the world to me.

Loved this author's last book, One Golden Summer, that came out in 2025. It actually made it onto like my honorable mentions for the year.

I think the main reason why I'm really excited to read this one is because of how much I loved this author's book, Party of Liars, that came out in 2025.

The first book was Savor it and then we had Left of Forever which both of those were five star books for me.

You know, even though the last book from Abby Jimenez, Say You'll Remember Me, I really didn't like that one.

The first book was Savor it and then we had Left of Forever which both of those were five star books for me.

This is from the same author as The Eyes Are the Best Part, which was one of my top favorite horror books.

This one is described as a horror inducing psychological suspense perfect for fans of The Push and Baby Teeth, which I also loved The Push, but I gave Baby Teeth one star, so like that has me a little bit nervous.

This one's coming out in February as well, and this is from the same author as Unro Romance, which was a book that I really enjoyed.

I also really loved the sequel to that book that was called Vengeful that came out so many years ago.

You know, I don't know if I talk about this enough on my channel, but I am such a huge fan of Vicious by V. E. Schwab. Like, that is one of my favorite books of all time.

And then last year, she wrote her first adult romcom that I really loved called We Met Like This.

But this one is from the same author as We Used to Live Here, which was one of my favorite horror books of 2024.

This is from the same author as What Lies in the Woods. So, naturally, I'm really excited for it because I gave that book five stars.
