The nitty-gritty: A solid series opener, Hunt the Stars focuses on character development rather than world building and pacing, but I still had a good time. I was a big fan of Jessie Mihalik’s Consortium Rebellion series, and I’ve been excited for this new series for months. I enjoyed this first installment, but I have […]
The nitty-gritty: Day Zero has the best combination of elements ever: thoughtful ideas about the role of robots and AI, unexpected violence, laugh out loud humor and plenty of heart. I loved this book! I wished there was a word to describe feeling both loved and disposable at the same time. I had no idea […]
The nitty-gritty: A tense, fast-paced futuristic thriller that was almost impossible to put down. I love finding well written debuts, and I’m happy to say that Corporate Gunslinger is now on my list of favorites. I don’t usually make “blank meets blank” comparisons when I’m reviewing books, but in this case I have to go […]
The nitty-gritty: An exciting and satisfying conclusion to the series, Chaos Reigning was a ton of fun. I’ve had so much fun with the Consortium Rebellion, and I’m actually sorry that it’s over. Chaos Reigning follows the same format as the first two books in the series but changes up the characters and the plot […]
The nitty-gritty: A thrilling standalone with heart and emotion, Race the Sands is guaranteed to satisfy both adult and YA readers. When fellow bloggers start raving about a book, I tend to sit up and listen. And there sure has been a lot of raving about Race the Sands! This is my second Sarah Beth […]
The nitty-gritty: An exciting, action-packed follow-up to Polaris Rising with new characters, plenty of danger, and some steamy romance too. I do love when publishers decide to release an entire series on a short publication schedule, and Mihalik’s Consortium Rebellion series is one of those happy instances. I reviewed the first book in the series, […]
The nitty-gritty: A weird and wonderful, multi-layered story with a tough-as-nails heroine, this delightful fantasy offers up plenty of mysteries, both big and small. “I answer little questions. Those impossible puzzles that burrow into our brains like splinters and keep us awake at night. I solve the mysteries that spoil marriages, ruin friendships, and curdle […]
The nitty-gritty: A mixed bag of both thrilling tension and a slow, ponderous beginning, The Luminous Dead worked on some levels but failed on others. This is a hard review to write. On one hand there are things about The Luminous Dead that I loved, elements that the author did really well. But on the […]
Welcome to Future Fiction, my reimagining of the Waiting on Wednesday meme! There are so many amazing new books coming out, that I can no longer pick just one. My goal with Future Fiction is to share at least three new books each week, a combination of recent cover reveals and books that I’ve recently […]
Last month I read and LOVED Jessie Mihalik’s science fiction romance, Polaris Rising (you can read my review here), the first book in her Consortium Rebellion series, and I’m thrilled to have her visit the blog today! Please give a warm welcome to Jessie! Welcome to the blog, Jessie! Please tell us a little bit […]
