New in the Murderbot Diaries series, we get a full novel!! In Network Effect, Murderbot is still trying to figure out what he should be doing, and what are these …feelings? He also spends too much time in the impossible task of understanding humans. There is hardly any time to binge Sanctuary Moon. All of […]
Raven Flight is the second book of the Shadowfell series, recently released on audio. I liked the first book of the series Shadowfell enough to give the second book a try, plus I’ve loved most things I’ve read by Juliet Marillier so chances were high this book would work better for me and it did.

Twilight’s Dawn is the ninth book in the Black Jewels series. I’ve loved my journey in this world but if you have a hot button, it is probably going to push it. From rape, incest, human trafficking, pedophilia, torture, somewhere in the series it has touched on it all but still all the stories were […]

I thought Finder was a standalone but lucky for everyone, it was just the first book in the Finder Chronicles series. I love this science fiction, space opera with the main character, Fergus is sort of a detective / Equalizer kind of guy. In Finder, Fergus “retrieves” a lost space ship and returns it to […]
Are you ready to walk a bit outside your romance comfort zone? If the answer is yes, Strange Love might just be the romance for you. As a fan of Star Trek when I became an adult, I wondered what some of the interesting pitfalls a couple might have if they were from two separate […]
In this mash up, somewhat a mash up of Firefly and Ice Truckers, we get to hang out with the crew of a ship as they make their way through space to a planet not everyone thinks should become part of the Galactic Union. Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is like a documentary […]
