In an effort to help you keep that to-read list updated, I’ve compiled the hot urban fantasy and paranormal romance releases for June 2016. All dates are U.S. and tentative. Also: Click the title of any book to visit the Amazon page for pre-order or purchase goodness.
I’ve included genre classification with each book: UF is urban fantasy, PNR is paranormal romance, F is fantasy, SF is science fiction, YA is young adult and NA is new adult.

A breakdown of June’s releases:
YA: 17 (8 YA, 7 FYA, 2 SFYA)
PNR: 9
F: 9
UF: 5
SF: 4
The number of YA books being published has been steadily increasing and I’m pleased that young people are reading, considering all the other types of entertainment available today.
My concern is that at the same time the number of PNRs being published is decreasing and they are my favorite genre. Not all PNRs suit me so I have added UF to my reading list and found some good series like Chicagoland Vampires, Charley Davidson and Jane Yellowrock, along with a few F such as the Kate Daniels and some SF by Nina Croft. But when all is said and done I want PNRs – and more writers like Nalini Singh would be wonderful!
I guess it is what it is and trends come and go. I subscribe to a magazine which reviews romance novels and there too PNRs are way behind not just YA books but all the other romance categories.
Thanks for letting me vent!
