Review: Black Tide
Black Tide by K.C. Jones is an excellent story with two flawed but very likeable characters. It's an in-depth character study that attempts to break them during an apocalypse. Humanity might be at an end. Will Beth and Mike find out if they're the last humans alive? Highly recommended.
Review: Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments
Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments solidifies T.L. Huchu as an author to follow. The Edinburgh Nights series has become a must read for me. Don't miss this urban fantasy. Highly recommended.
Review: Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes
Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes sees a repair crew stumble upon a long lost luxury liner filled with horror and slaughter. Will the crew survive long enough to claim salvage rights? Recommended.
Review: Far from the Light of Heaven
Tade Thompson's Far from the Light of Heaven explores the closed room mystery in the ultimate closed environment - a space ship far from Earth. This novel is full of interesting characters and big ideas. Highly recommended.
Review: The Ruin of Kings
The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons is as epic as epic fantasy gets. It's got everything: demons, dragons, magic, gods, familial betrayal, good characters, dastardly politics, and a magic harp. Highly recommended.
Review: The Splinter King
The Splinter King by Mike Brooks is a wonderful follow up to The Black Coast. Return to the world of dragons, sars, and raiders in this fun epic fantasy.
Review: The Exiled Fleet
The Exiled Fleet by J.S. Dewes is an excellent follow up to The Last Watch. It builds on everything I loved about the first book and delivers more insight into the Divide's universe. This is a series to watch.
Review: You Sexy Thing
You Sexy Thing is excellent space opera. Cat Rambo has created a joyful, hopeful tale of found family. Come for the characters; stay for the fun. Highly recommended.
Review: When the Sparrow Falls
The gritty world of Neil Sharpson's When the Sparrow Falls stayed with me long after I finished. This dystopian thriller is highly recommended to SF and mystery fans.
