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…
This story has all my favorite things: a road trip adventure, witty banter, wonderful characters, a psychic, and a sweet romance making this one of the best romance books I’ve read this year. Noelle Shepherd has hit rock bottom. She is twenty eight, laid off from her job, had to move back home with her…
My deepest thanks to the commenters who recommended Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell in some of our Best of 2022 posts. Thanks to you, I not only got a great read, but I got to it in time for my own Best of list! Tennalhin Halkana (Tennal) lives at the mercy of his own brain….
The Final Dawn is the fifth and final book in Jess Anastasi’s Atrophy series, featuring the motley crew of the starship Imojenna under the command of the super badass, super enigmatic Rian Sherron. This story has been a long time coming; book four, Entropy, was published in 2018 and I confess I’d been worried that…
May Peterson’s début novel, Lord of the Last Heartbeat, is an intricately constructed gothic fantasy with an intriguing storyline, set in a world that reminded me somewhat of eighteenth century Italy where dark secrets lurk behind the scenes, political backstabbing is rife and influential families jostle for power. Adding to that particular vibe is the…
When I first heard about Spellbound, I couldn’t wait to read it. Love. Magic. Queer. Paranormal. Suspense. Prohibition-era Manhattan. First in a series. Friends, the author had me at “Love”. I couldn’t ask our publisher for this book fast enough! Ms. Therin, in her published début, almost delivers on all this promise, and Spellbound…
I’m a Santino Hassell fan, and though I don’t read much paranormal romance, I confidently opened Insight assuming I would love it. Yet while the book is compelling and entertaining, the balance of romance/paranormal/thriller didn’t thrill me. The first half of the book is a teasing, slow-burn road-trip romance between Nate and Trent, one of…
Blow Down is another delightful, witty episode in the lives of Tom Paretski, the slightly psychic plumber, and his new fiancé, P.I. Phil Morrison. Death is what happens while you’re making other plans. I loved this murder mystery and devoured its character driven plot with glee. J.L. Merrow’s observations on the quirks of English life…
I think I’ve just found my fun read for Halloween. No Conventional Miss is a pleasant debut with just a touch of the supernatural to it. It’s rough around the edges in a few spots, but still a very worthy read. <!– var browName = navigator.appName; var SiteID = 1; var ZoneID = 4; var…
