It’s not often that every book in a series is good enough to deserve a DIK rating, but Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen are four for four with Inversion Point, the fourth novel in their consistently creative and compelling Chaos Station sci-fi romance series. Note: This is a same-couple series with overarching plot elements so…
Eden Winters’ entry in the Carnival of Mysteries series, Lighting the Darkness, is a sequel, of sorts, to the urban fantasy/sci-fi/procedural Darkness that came out earlier this year. Darkness wasn’t a perfect book, but I had to applaud the author for the solid worldbuilding and intruguing storyline, for taking risks and coming up with a…
Authors Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen keep up the pressure and the action in this third instalment of their compelling Chaos Station series. Where the first two books were really Zed’s story, with Lonely Shore focusing predominantly on his failing health, the team’s efforts to help him, and on his rekindled relationship with Felix, Skip…
Lonely Shore, book two in Burke and Jensen’s Chaos Station series of Sci-fi romances is a rip-your-heart-out-and-stomp-on-it kinda book in the best possible way. Picking up around a month after the events of Chaos Station, Lonely Shore is a more emotional, relationship-focused story, although there’s also a strong secondary plotline that keeps things moving. Note:…
Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen’s five-book Chaos Station sci-fi romance series was originally published between 2015 and 2016. The series has been on my TBR ever since Maria Rose gave book one a DIK review back in 2015, and as the authors have now republished the series with some spiffy new covers and new material…
People in Glass Houses is the latest book in Castle’s Harmony series which takes place on Harmony, a planet settled by colonists in the late twenty-first century. If you haven’t read any previous books in the series, not to worry, the author has a summary of the Harmony world in a note at the start…
Narrated by Raphael Corkhill Ocean’s Echo, a sci-fi story with a very slow-burn romantic arc, is the sophomore outing for Everina Maxwell following her highly successful Winter’s Orbit. Although set in the same universe, Ocean’s Echo has no overlapping characters or locations and can be read as a standalone. Readers can expect detailed worldbuilding and…
For this month’s TBR Challenge prompt – “Not in Kansas Anymore” – I decided to get as far away from the world as we know it as I could and picked a science-fiction romance set in deep, deep outer space. Lisa Henry’s Dark Space is book one in a trilogy of the same name and…
Recently, while stuck on a plane for too many hours, I decided to reread Heat. Back in the day, I loved Smith’s complex, morally batshit books. Three of her works, The Last Hour of Gann, Heat, and Land of the Beautiful Dead, were all DIKs for me and I wondered how I’d see her work…
Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon (originally published digitally in 2016 and republished in trade paperback in 2024) is the seventh book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series. Each book is easily read as a standalone as the author gives a synopsis at the beginning to catch the reader up on what has already happened. Of…
