Will You Still Love Me by Izzibella Beau

In a small Georgia town where secrets cling like summer humidity, Schieloh has learned one hard truth: nothing good lasts. A ward of the state since birth, she’s spent her life bouncing between foster homes, carrying the weight of a past she can’t outrun. When she lands in Dudley for her final senior year, she expects more of the same—keep your head down, survive, disappear.

Then she sees him.

Braxton Everence—the boy who once gave her one perfect summer, the boy who kissed her under cicadas and promised forever before his family moved away without a goodbye. Now he’s the golden lacrosse captain of East Point High, surrounded by wealth, privilege, and a queen bee ex-girlfriend who’ll burn anything to keep her crown.

Schieloh wants nothing to do with him. Braxton can’t stay away.

As old wounds reopen and new ones form, the two of them are pulled back into a story neither thought they’d get to finish. But in a world that has always taken more than it gave, love is a dangerous thing—and the past has a way of demanding its due.

One viral video. One spray-painted word on a locker. One secret buried for three years.

And a choice that could cost them everything—or finally set them free.

A raw, emotionally charged debut about first love, second chances, and the courage it takes to claim the life you were never supposed to have.

Some hearts break quietly. Others fight to be heard.

The Queen’s Dark Ambition by Jessica L Scott

“That wood is always in my dreams. It’s super creepy,” Miya said. “Be careful.”
Craving a contemporary fantasy escape packed with unique magic, more questions than can be answered, and a girl who has to find her fire when everything’s falling apart? Then The Queen’s Dark Ambition will pull you in and refuse to let go. It’s the kind of story that blends eerie chills with real emotional punches. Readers call it “a twisted, whimsical young adult fantasy that fuses playfulness with eeriness” (Independent Book Review).
This gripping novel follows 14-year-old Stacy, a flawed, fierce heroine who’s drowning in change. She just blew up her friendship with Jas and Anjali by dropping the bomb about switching schools… and they ghosted her. Her parents are at war with her. The new house? Total nightmare. The move? The absolute worst thing ever.
Until the woods change everything.
One jump over the stream in the eerie wood near her new home, and Stacy suddenly finds herself in a hidden fairy realm. She catches a glimpse of something unthinkable: a child about to be sacrificed. A stranger locks eyes with her, recognises her, and hisses one warning: “Stay away or you’ll be next!”
Who are these fairies who hate humans? Why are there so many missing kids? And how could anyone in the fairy realm recognise her?
Stacy can’t stay away. She dives back in, only to get trapped in a realm ruled by a cruel, ghost-like fairy. A centuries-old wizard named Bower ends up as Stacy’s reluctant guide. With Bower’s help, Stacy uncovers a chilling conspiracy: imprisoned children, a queen consumed by pure evil, and a hunger for the power of the stars that could doom the world.
Can a girl still figuring out who she is stand up to a queen who long ago abandoned love itself? If Stacy fails, the missing kids aren’t the only ones who’ll pay. The entire world hangs in the balance.
Character-driven, and packed with emotion, The Queen’s Dark Ambition dives deep into belonging, identity, self-confidence, found family, glow-ups, hidden heritage, coming-of-age grit, and jaw-dropping plot twists. Perfect if you love clean fantasy with Christian undertones, angsty heroines who grow into their power, fish-out-of-water vibes, and magic that’s as dangerous as it is beautiful. If you like the style of authors Holly Black or Melissa Marr, you may like The Queen’s Dark Ambition.
