After several years stuck as a ghost, Sky Flores learns to reconnect with the living again with the help of her handsome neighbor in this lush romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Witch of Wild Things.

Like her sisters, Sage and Teal, Sky Flores has a touch of magic, and it’s caused nothing but heartache. Not only did she disappear into the woods years ago and reappear with no rational explanation, she’s also more comfortable talking to animals than to people. Different and misunderstood, Sky is shunned in the small town of Cranberry.

Sky’s neighbor, Adam Noemi, has his own problems. After being laid off from a prestigious newspaper, Adam, ever the ambitious reporter, needs a big headline to redeem his career. Enter Sky, a girl with a story that news outlets have been chasing for years. Sky agrees to grant Adam an exclusive interview on one condition: that he befriend Sky, in a very public way, to prove to everyone in Cranberry that she’s not an outcast.

As Sky shares her experiences with Adam, something much bigger than a simple agreement begins to grow between them. But for love to take root, Adam will have to take a leap towards a life that defies expectations, and Sky must open her heart—full of flora and fauna and mystical energies—to his curious mind.

Happy (?) Saturday, mis internet amigxs,\ \ This has been a heavy week and I hope all of you are taking good care of yourselves. \ \ Please make sure to mark Wednesday, February 4th at 8:00 PM EST for our chat with Esperanza Hope Snyder, author of our January book club selection, Orange Wine. I'm really looking forward to speaking with her. If you're new here, we usually chat with the author for 30-40 minutes then we open up Q&A to book club members, so please start thinking of your questions for Esperanza now! Of course, we're chatting all month on Discord, so please join us there if you already haven't.\ \ Also, in case you missed it, I've been running a challenge for myself on YouTube this month, challenging myself to post every single day in January. I'm not certain I'm going to make today's deadline, but I have some reviews and other content I'll be posting soon. If you're participating in 2026 Latine Book Bingo, then I recommend this 2-part series (video 1, video 2) detailing 50 books you can read for different parts of the bingo card. In addition, I posted 15 Latine books releasing in 2026 I'm looking forward to. Beginning in February, I'll slow down production. My goal is to post at least 2 YouTube videos a month.\ \ Finally, before I bring you this week's Latine releases, I'm contemplating some changes to your benefits and wanted to run something by you--I was thinking that instead of a weekly newsletter of Latine releases for Lectores and Libritos members, I'd instead make available to you my spreadsheet of Latine releases, both past and future. That way, you'd have something to reference when you're looking for your next Latine read. You'd still get the Tuesday New Latine Releases spreadsheet, but wouldn't receive the duplicate exclusive newsletter like this one. Let me know what you think. I'm still ruminating on this change, but if you have any feedback on your benefits as members...\ \ And now, on to this week's releases...\ \ ROMANCE \ \ The Lust Crusade by Jo Segura (Audiobook) Contemporary romance following a plucky librarian and an archaeologist on the run who fake an engagement to save their lives all while catching feelings for one another.\ \ \ \ The Magic of Untamed Hearts by Raquel Vasquez Guililand (Audiobook) Paranormal romance that centers the third Flores sister, Sage, who was trapped in an oak by the gods for 8 years. It's been 2 years since she was released and she's trying to find her way in life, dealing with a town that disparages her circumstances and her relationship with animals. Enter Adam Noemi, grandson of her elderly neighbor she cares for William, who's down on his luck, but also beloved by the town. In a scheme to reveal to the town what happened to her, Sage agrees to have Adam, a reporter, interview her. But her revelations also brings wall crashing down between them and something more grows between them. I'm almost done with this one and it's my favorite of the series so far. Full review to come soon...\ \ TRANSLATED FICTION \ \ \ \ Pedro the Vast by Simon Lopez Trujillo and translated by Robin Myers (Audiobook) A translated work of literary fiction that beckons Jeff Vandermeer where in a fire-prone landscape, humanity has encroached on nature enough and a deadly fungus mounts resistance.\ \ DARK ROMANTASY \ \ \ \ A Vow In Vengeance by Jaclyn Rodriguez (Audiobook) A Latine release with a limited edition first print run? WHAT A RARITY! The first book in the Immortal Desires series, this dark fantasy features enemies to lovers, dark academia, fake fated mates, forced proximity, touch her and die, and tarot tropes.\ \ PICTURE BOOK \ \ \ \ Apapacho Love: A Story About Hugs From The Heart by Cynthia Harmony and illustrated by Erika Meza \ \ xoxo,\ \ Carmen\ \ PS--this is a reminder that this list is CURATED by me and not intended to be a comprehensive list of ALL Latine releases.
