The build up to the final confrontation from the beginning lead to this moment. An enemies to lovers romance with a twist set in the backdrop of far future space and two clashing empires. The first book in the Bloodright trilogy grabbed my attention and now I am excited to see it come to an […]
Robert Jackson Bennet won me over as a teller of unique and unusual stories when I was first introduced to him. That continues as I read more and more of the book from his imagination. Locklands is the conclusion to The Founders Trilogy following a group of characters thrown into new and increasingly dangerous situations […]

Last Human started off as Ron Weasley’s worst nightmare. The very last human in the universe was raised by a huge spider, a Black Widow to be more precise. You can see Ron shuddering right now can’t you. This is a tale of the lost human species, a strange hive mind creature, a mish mash […]
I read Daughters of the Storm last year which started the Blood and Gold series and wanted the next book so much. I loved the characters and the Norse fantasy themes. I got this book early, way back in August but the New Release challenge has me trying to read current year rather than future years. Then […]
