Tracy Deonn's Legendborn is a fantasy novel like no other.

This epic read tells the story of Bree Matthews, a teenage girl who is unexpectedly thrust into a mystical world when she witnesses a magical attack at her school.

Poignantly imbuing Black history into this urban fantasy tale, Deonn proves she is certainly the one to watch in the YA fantasy scene today!

Mystery readers may think they've seen it all, but My Sister, the Serial Killer will certainly change that.

This darkly comedic thriller follows Korede, who is tasked with cleaning up the messes left behind by her sister Ayoola, who repeatedly kills her boyfriends in acts of "self-defense."

With compelling themes and gripping prose, Braithwaite's debut novel will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through!

If fiction isn't your thing, check out Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

This intimate yet sprawling book addresses the history of racism and systems of oppression in the US through the lens of Coates' relationship with his son.

Coates works to answer pressing questions about living as a Black person in America, giving his son guidance as he grows up. The lessons, though, remain essential for readers everywhere.

With a raw writing style that will strike you from the first page, Between the World and Me is a must-read for Black History month.

Though the effort is extra important this month, including authors of color in your TBRs every month is a must.
