In an effort to help you keep that to-read list updated, I’ve compiled the hot urban fantasy and paranormal romance releases for February 2021. 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. (Note: If you end up buying the book from one of these links, VBC will get a tiny bit of revenue to cover our overhead.)

I’ve included genre classification with each book: UF is urban fantasy, PNR is paranormal romance, F is fantasy, SF is science fiction, SFR is science fiction romance, FR is fantasy romance, H is horror, YA is young adult and NA is new adult.
