The Last Best Quest Ever, F.T. Lukens (McElderry 978-1-66595-097-8, $19.99, 320pp, hc) May 2026. Cover by Rebecca Syracuse. Oddly enough, The Last Best Quest Ever, F.T. Lukens's new young adult novel, was the second romcomantasy (is that a word? I'm making it a word.) I read this month. Both feature charming queer couples on a quest, a haughty royal, anachronisms and pop culture references disguised with fantasy-sounding terms, and dragons …Read More

Girl of Lore, Melanie Dale (Aladdin 978-1-665-96982-6, $17.99, 368pp, hc) April 2026. When a book has characters named Mina Murray and Jonathan Harker, you can bet that there is going to be a plot twist involving vampires even if it's set in modern-day Georgia.
