April is upon us and if you’re in the northern hemisphere then spring is finally upon us. Whether you’re stacking up reads for your summer holiday, or just making sure you have something good to read in bed, you might be looking at the new releases!
We’ve trawled the new releases for April and picked what we think are the five best books, across the genres! Hopefully there’s something for everyone, especially as this month marks some great releases from some already well known authors!
The Glittering Court – Richelle Mead
(released 5th April)
If you’re a fan of Richelle Mead, and we do have many fans on our Facebook page then this April it’s time to start a brand new trilogy! Glittering Court offers luxury, glamour and leisure, from one of the hottest YA authors today.
The Blade Artist – Irvine Welsh
(released 7th April)
More gritty drama from Irvine Welsh as California meets Edinburgh, and an old life meets a new one! As always Welsh combines ultra-violence with redemption, gritty realism with comic horror. Oh, and Begbie is back.
The Disappearance – Annabel Kantaria

The Disappearance is Kantaria’s second novel and a gripping thriller as the mysterious disappearance of Audrey Bailey throws a whole family into turmoil as things are not what they seem.
The Little French Guesthouse – Helen Pollard

The Little French Guesthouse looks like it’s going to be the perfect summer read, and the first in a series too so there’s more to come. Romance, humour, sunshine, and more books in the series to follow, what more could you want?
