Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently added to my TBR pile. I’m still going to be linking up with Wishful Endings/Can’t Wait Wednesday, and I also want to give a shout out to Jill at Breaking the Spine for starting the original Waiting on Wednesday meme. I hope you’ll find some new books to add to your TBR piles, and as always, I look forward to hearing what YOU’RE looking forward to:-D
Three exciting new covers, take a look:
Teagan Frost has enough sh*t to deal with, between her job as a telekinetic government operative and a certain pair of siblings who have returned from the dead to wreak havoc with their powers. But little does she know, things are about to get even more crazy . . .
Teagan might have survived the flash flood of the century, but now she’s trapped in a hotel by a bunch of gun-toting maniacs. And to make matters worse, her powers have mysteriously disappeared. Faced with certain death at every turn, Teagan will need to use every resource she has to stop a plot that could destroy Los Angeles – maybe even the entire world.
Full of imagination, wit and random sh*t flying though the air, this insane new Frost Files adventure will blow your tiny mind.
A Sh*tload of Crazy Powers (The Frost Files #4) by Jackson Ford. Releases in May 2022 from Orbit Books. I love this series so much! I’m glad Ford didn’t stop at Book #3, because Teagan has a lot more adventures ahead of her:-D
It was just another day at the beach. And then the world ended.
Mike and Beth didn’t know each other existed before the night of the meteor shower. A melancholy film producer and a house sitter barely scraping by, chance made them neighbors, a bottle of champagne brought them together, and a shared need for human connection sparked something more.
After a drunken and desperate one-night-stand, the two strangers awake to discover a surprise astronomical event has left widespread destruction in its wake. But the cosmic lightshow was only a part of something much bigger, and far more terrifying. When a set of lost car keys leaves them stranded on an empty stretch of Oregon coast, when their emergency calls go unanswered and inhuman screams echo from the dunes, when the rising tide reaches for the car and unspeakable horrors close in around them, these two self-destructive souls must find in each other the strength to overcome past pain and the fight to survive a nightmare of apocalyptic scale.
Black Tide by K.C. Jones. Releases in May 2022 from Tor Nightfire. This sounds so good! Post apocalyptic horror is definitely my jam, and I can’t wait to read this.
Once upon a time, the kingdoms of Wales were rife with magic and conflict, and eighteen-year-old Mererid “Mer” is well-acquainted with both. She is the last living water diviner and has spent years running from the prince who bound her into his service. Under the prince’s orders, she located the wells of his enemies, and he poisoned them without her knowledge, causing hundreds of deaths. After discovering what he had done, Mer went to great lengths to disappear from his reach. Then Mer’s old handler returns with a proposition: use her powers to bring down the very prince that abused them both.
The best way to do that is to destroy the magical well that keeps the prince’s lands safe. With a motley crew of allies, including a fae-cursed young man, the lady of thieves, and a corgi that may or may not be a spy, Mer may finally be able to steal precious freedom and peace for herself. After all, a person with a knife is one thing…but a person with a cause can topple kingdoms.
The Drowned Woods—set in the same world as The Bone Houses but with a whole new, unforgettable cast of characters—is part heist novel, part dark fairy tale.
The Drowned Woods by Emily Lloyd-Jones. Releases in August 2022 from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This is a companion novel to The Bone Houses, which I haven’t read but I hope to some day. Heists and dark fairy tales, some of my favorite tropes!
It’s hardly surprising that my eyes keep going back to Black Tide: the mix of post-apocalyptic and horror sounds like an intriguing combination! 🙂

I’m very excited for it!
Black Tide does sound intriguing. And The Drowned Woods caught my eyes because I have some water diviners in my recent ancestry. I was always a bit skeptical but I also saw some stuff I couldn’t explain, which was kinda cool. 🙂
Oh that’s so cool, Todd. Ancestry is so cool when you discover things like that:-)
They all sound good, but that was an excited, high pitched shriek you may have heard out of the north when I saw the Jackson Ford book.
LOL me too! I don’t want to wait that long:-)
Oh my, The Drowned Woods looks gorgeous! I am also loving the sound of it–I’ve been meaning to check out The Bone Houses as well for quite a while. Love the sound of Black Tide as well!
Me too, I think I actually have a copy of The Bone Houses, I should find it!
I really liked The Bone Houses — I’m excited to see there’s a new book in that world coming! Black Tide sounds terrifying — gotta read it! Great choices.
I need to read The Bone Houses!
Cool book intros…I like them all…the Drowned Woods looks neat!
I agree, I think the Drowned Woods is going to be really good:-)
I really want to read the Jackson Ford series.

It’s a lot of fun, I think you’d enjoy it:-)
The first sentence of the Black Tide blurb had me…lol.
Ha ha right?
Ha that first one sounds excellent! And oh my gosh Black Tide sounds amazing.
“inhuman screams echo from the dunes,”
I am IN.

Oh you should! They are all fun:-)

I’ve heard good things. I may try to read it at some point.
The first one is my favorite Tammy!
Me too! I’m so excited to read it:-)
I love the cover and the title of the first one! All three sound good though. Thanks for sharing!
