Only We Know by Simon Packham (4 June) – Admittedly it's the mock-up cover that first caught my attention for this one on the hand-outs we received, but the story sounds really interesting too as it focuses on a girl who tries to reinvent herself at a new school but suddenly starts to receive mysterious packages hinting at a big secret from her past coming back to haunt her.īirdy by Jess Vallance (2 July) – An unlikely friendship that sounds too good to be true? I'm intrigued!


How To Be Bad is written with two other authors, they each take on the perspective of one of the three leads, and is a road trip story which sounds perfect for summer. Lockhart is one of HKB's most exciting authors and I absolutely adored The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks when I reviewed it last year. Lockhart, Lauren Myracle and Sarah Mlynowski (4 June) – E. There's action, music, protests and romance all against the backdrop of the civil revolution in Paris. Liberty's Fire by Lydia Syson (7 May) – At the book brunch the author described her novel as " Les Mis 40 years on", which is enough said, really. That is brilliant in YA fiction right now. Smith, with the added quirkiness of Rainbow Rowell and the emotional punch of John Green – so basically a triple whammy of all

It's the perfect treat for fans of the sweet romance novels from Jennifer E. After going to Hot Key Books' fantastic blogger brunch and having the opportunity to hear about the wide range of exciting books they're publishing this year, I decided to create a blog post with my top picks from their 2015 catalogue.īecause there are many brilliantly sounding titles coming out from this unique YA publisher that I want everyone to know about ahead of publication, so we can all count down the days to release and run to the shops (or the Hot Key Books website, I've hyperlinked all titles to their page on where possible for convenience) on the day of release!įish Out of Water by Natalie Whipple (5 February) – I already reviewed this novel back in February and up until today it's still my fav YA book I've read this year.
