Arrival by Veronica Scott  @veronicascott.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @vscotttheauthor

      She’s come home after earning her medical doctor degree and four retired Special Forces vets have retired and taken up their land grant benefit.  Too bad they get dropped off into post-apocalyptic chaos.  Sci-fi and zombies, anyone?  It’s Veronica Scott’s The Sectors world so of course I had to take the plunge.

Star Cruise: Chef’s Kiss by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor  @veronicascott.bsky.social @sophiarose1816

      A starship five-star chef is forced into a bargain with a demon lord and experiences an extra spicy Halloween night for the ages.  Veronica Scott’s latest entry in her Star Cruise-The Sectors series is a novella-length tale blending paranormal and sci-fi romance in a far future holiday-themed tale that I was eager […]

🎧 Moon City Vice by C.T. Phipps @CT_Phipps #AlexFreeman #LoveAudiobooks @audiobookmel.bsky.social @AudiobookMel

If you follow my reviews, you know I’m a huge fan of C.T. Phipps. His stories are always a ton of fun—sometimes a bit silly, but in the best way possible. I love escaping into his worlds, where action, humor, and ridiculousness blend perfectly. Moon City Vice continues the adventures of Neil Gordon, former actress-turned-cop […]

🎧 Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite @oliviawaite.com #BlairBaker @MacmillanAudio @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy featured this on one of her future fiction type posts and the concept appealed to me.  It’s exactly the kind of themes I love – space scfi, murder mystery, detectives, and technology.  Murder by Memory is also a very quick read I did in one go. We meet Dorothy […]

Star Cruise: Stowaway – Rescue – Golden Token – Thanksgiving by Veronica Scott @veronicascott.bsky.social @sophiarose1816 @vscotttheauthor

      Gathering together novellas and short stories which had once been part of separate anthologies that have gone out of print since their release, Veronica Scott released this slim collection of three novellas and a short story for her The Sectors’ fans.  Each story comes with an author’s explanation for why it was […]

Star Cruise: Captain’s Story by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor  @veronicascott.bsky.social @sophiarose1816

      After the Prequel which told of how they met and their relationship came to be, I was more than ready to move on and get a ‘present’ day story of Maeve the AI and Nebula Zephyr Captain Gil Fleming.  Veronica Scott’s world of far future space and planetary adventure accompanied by sizzling […]

Destiny’s Way by Jack Campbell #JackCampbell  @acebookspub.bsky.social  @AceBooksPub @berkleypub

I’ve really loved the Lost Fleet and spin off series by this author.  They have action with military battle, along with military politics and the morality decisions of battles. The Doomed Earth series has the military and politics with its fast paced action but also a romance.  It’s not a romance novel more a sideline […]

Star Cruise: Captain’s Prequel by Veronica Scott @veronicascott.bsky.social @vscotttheauthor @sophiarose1816

Star Cruise: Captain’s Prequel by Veronica Scott @veronicascott.bsky.social @vscotttheauthor @sophiarose1816

    Through all the Star Cruise subseries books, regular side characters, Captain Gil Fleming and ship AI, Maeve, have been a large background presence in the stories- Maeve, in particular.  Finally, we get their story and how it all started. Star Cruise: Captain’s Prequel is both a chronological prequel for the Star Cruise sub-series […]

The Pets in Space series of anthologies have delivered some of my favorite sci-fi romantic adventures and introduced me to several series that are top reads for me.  I adore how there is a theme of pets and a vast majority of sci-fi worlds and situations.  Like with previous anthologies in the series, I’ll be […]
