I’ve noticed a few standout trends this year. Fantasy continues to dominate, with books like 'A Study in Drowning' by Ava Reid making waves. It’s a dark academia meets gothic fantasy with a slow-burn romance that’s impossible to put down. Another gem is 'The Scarlet Alchemist' by Kylie Lee Baker, blending historical fantasy with alchemy and a fierce protagonist.
On the contemporary front, 'The Luis Ortega Survival Club' by Sonora Reyes is a powerful story about reclaiming agency after trauma, while 'The Dos and Donuts of Love' by Adiba Jaigirdar offers a sweet, queer rom-com set in a donut shop. For those who love thrillers, 'She Is a Haunting' by Trang Thanh Tran is a chilling horror with Vietnamese folklore woven into its spine-tingling plot.
This year’s YA scene is vibrant, with diverse voices and fresh takes on familiar genres. Whether you’re into fantasy, romance, or horror, there’s something new and exciting waiting for you.

I’ve been glued to BookTok lately, and the YA hype is real. 'The Sun and the Star' by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro is a must-read for Percy Jackson fans, diving deep into Nico and Will’s relationship. Another BookTok darling is 'Divine Rivals' by Rebecca Ross, a historical fantasy with rivals-to-lovers and magical letters.
For contemporary lovers, 'The Quiet Part Out Loud' by Deborah Crossland is a heart-wrenching story about first love and second chances. And if you’re into dark academia, 'A Guide to the Dark' by Meriam Metoui is a haunting mystery set in a creepy motel.
This year’s YA books are all about emotional depth and unique twists, perfect for readers who want stories that stick with them long after the last page.

This year’s YA trends are all about fresh voices and bold stories. 'The Last Girls Standing' by Jennifer Dugan is a queer thriller with a twisty mystery. 'The Davenports' by Krystal Marquis is a historical romance about Black high society in 1910s Chicago.
For fantasy fans, 'The Whispering Dark' by Kelly Andrew is a dark academia novel with eerie magic. And 'The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway' by Ashley Schumacher is a sweet romance about self-discovery.
Each of these books brings something unique to the table, making them must-reads for 2023.

I’m always on the lookout for YA books that push boundaries, and this year hasn’t disappointed. 'Imogen, Obviously' by Becky Albertalli is a refreshing take on queer identity, full of humor and heart. 'The Black Queen' by Jumata Emill is a gripping thriller about racism and privilege in a small Southern town.
For fantasy lovers, 'The Isles of the Gods' by Amie Kaufman is an epic adventure with gods and forbidden magic. And if you’re into romance, 'The Love Match' by Priyanka Taslim is a charming Bangladeshi-American retelling of 'Pride and Prejudice.'
These books are trending for good reason—they’re bold, diverse, and impossible to forget.

What themes are trending in new young adult fiction books this year?

The big one I keep seeing everywhere is climate anxiety—it's not just a backdrop anymore. Authors are weaving the emotional weight of an uncertain future directly into characters' identities. We're getting protagonists who are activists, eco-saboteurs, or just kids trying to survive in a world already changed. It's less about preventing the disaster and more about navigating the grief and anger of inheriting it.

What new top books are shaping trends in young adult fiction?

YA is in such a weird, interesting place right now. The big trend-shapers seem to be moving away from just dystopian or fantasy romances. Books like 'A Deadly Education' and its sequels blurred lines between dark academia and survival horror, but with a really sharp, unlikable-yet-relatable protagonist. That 'morally grey in a magic school' vibe has spawned a ton of imitators. We're also seeing a huge surge in romantasy, but with older YA/New Adult crossover appeal. Think 'Fourth Wing' – it's technically adult but devoured by the YA crowd, proving there's massive demand for high-stakes fantasy with intense romantic subplots and addictive pacing. That's pushing publishers to seek similar high-concept fantasy romances. Another trend is the quiet, profound contemporary novel dealing with specific, often marginalized, experiences. 'The Sun and the Star' by Rick Riordan delves deep into Nico di Angelo's trauma and relationship, showing a demand for established series to mature with their audience and tackle heavier themes with care.

Lol, half these settings sound like someone mashed two random Wikipedia articles together. 'It's about rival gargoyle veterinarians in a solarpunk city!' I'm not saying it's bad, it's just... a lot. Sometimes I miss when a coffee shop was just a coffee shop, you know? No secret magical lineage, no cursed espresso machine. Just two people and a awkward meet-cute over the last pumpkin scone.

What new book series are trending this month for young adults?

This month feels like all the chatter I've seen online keeps circling back to fantasy and fantasy-adjacent stuff with a heavy romantic subplot. 'The Crimson Crown' seems to be the runaway hit everyone’s talking about, at least on BookTok. It’s that enemies-to-lovers with a magic tournament plot that just hits a sweet spot. I did try the first few chapters, and the pacing is incredibly fast—almost too fast for my taste. It feels engineered for the serialized, clip-friendly storytelling that dominates right now. People aren't just reading it; they're making edits and theories about the morally gray love interest. That social media engine is a huge part of its trend status. Beyond that, I've noticed a quieter but steady rise for 'The Archive of Forgotten Songs', which is more of a historical fantasy with a music-based magic system. It's not getting the same explosive hype, but the readers who find it are deeply attached. The trend this month seems split between the high-drama, high-romance books and these more atmospheric, niche ones that spread through word-of-mouth in smaller circles.

What new best books to read are trending among young adults now?

Post-apocalyptic is back, but it's climate-focused and deeply psychological. 'The Last Cuentista' or 'The Ones We're Meant to Find' are less about zombies and more about grief, memory, and what humanity chooses to preserve when the world ends. The trend reflects real-world anxieties, but frames them through intimate family or sibling dynamics rather than just survival action.
