I have read some phenomenal debut books over the last year. The majority of which all had debut books out this year. I have to say, their books made it really hard for me to get into the books I read after theirs. Some of these debuts were so great, that I would have considered selling an entire bookcase full of books just to read their sophomore book.... okay I may not have gone through with selling one of my bookcases full of books, but I would have considered it.
Check out my list of Top Ten Debut Authors Who Have Me Looking Forward to Reading Their Sophomore Novel.. aka.... If their sequels/sophomore books were already available for pre-ordered, I have preordered them.
This is going to be the first in a list of 10 books where all I need to say is I LOVED IT! Sabba's writing, and storytelling is captivating. I absolutely loved this book! I've already got my copy of A Torch Against the Night pre-ordered.
2) The Wrath & The Dawn by Renee Ahadieh
This is another debut that loved! Like Sabba, Renee's writing and storytelling are flawless. Like every book on this list, I wish their sequels were already out. I've already got the sequel, The Rose & The Dagger pre-ordered.
3) The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I absolutely loved this book! This is one of those reads that had me wishing I had the sequel in my hands so I could read it after I finished this book. I've already got Glass Sword, pre-ordered.
4) The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace
This is one of those debuts that left me in awe, because I couldn't believe it was Becky's debut. I loved it, and I can't wait for The Skylighter, which is also already pre-ordered.
5) Compulsion by Martina Boone
I might be cheating a bit with this one, because I've already reviewed her sophomore novel, Persuasion, here. It is just as fabulous as her debut!! I love her Martina's writing and now I can't wait for her next book.
6) The Girl At Midnight by Melissa Gray
This was one of those surprising debuts that totally blew me away. I loved this book, and I can't wait to pick up my copy of Melissa's sequel, The Shadow Hour.
7) Lock & Mori by Heather Petty
While this sequel's title hasn't yet been named, I'm impatiently waiting for it to be released. I loved Heather's debut, and I need this book asap!
8) Nameless by Jennifer Jenkins
Same as above! I loved her debut, and I can't wait for this sequel, who's title hasn't yet been released.
9) Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout
Y'all know I'm not a huge contemporary fan, but this is one of those books that makes me a fan. I loved Katie's debut! It had everything I wanted in a contemp, and I can not wait to read her next book!
10) Cruel Beauty of Rosamund Hodge
I know her sequel, Crimson Bound, is already out, but I've not yet had a chance to read it, even though the book is sitting on the top of my TBR pile. I loved this debut, and I'm really looking forward to reading her sequel!
There are a lot of fabulous debut authors who's books have been released over this last year. These are just a few of my favorites, who's next books I can't wait to read. Who are some of your favorite debut authors?
