Scientific exploration abounds in James Cambias’s A Darkling Sea. With a clash of intricate alien races, Cambias brings wonder and imagination to a scientific expedition.

Falling Light by Thea Harrison

I’ll be honest, it took me quite some time to get into Falling Light by Thea Harrison. This is mostly my fault; because of my huge book slump of 2013, I really didn’t remember much about the first novel, Rising Darkness, other than I knew I really enjoyed it and […]

Ellen Larson tells a science fiction tale with In Retrospect. There is something utterly eerie about Larson’s story and how it unfolds. The backstory truly shines and creates an Earth that is as different from our own as night and day. The society which Larson designs is full of mystery, […]

Dualed by Elsie Chapman

I read Dualed by Elsie Chapman in a day. Typically, when I read a book that fast, it’s because I’m head-over-heels in love with it. That wasn’t the case with Dualed. I loved the premise, and it was just as exciting as I had hoped for in the beginning. Yet, as the story […]

With an intellectual spin, John Ringo brings to life a truly realistic world in Under a Graveyard Sky.  In a drama that is rife with competition, Ringo departs from normal zombie apocalypse plotlines and brings to the light the rarely mentioned side – the prepared.  An interesting, if not always thrilling, […]

Altered by Jennifer Rush

Is it just me or are books not living up to expectations? I don’t know if my standards are just that high or the genre itself is going downhill. For example, Altered by Jennifer Rush. I was so freaking excited for this book; but when I read it, it fell […]

SCollins-Mockingjay

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I’m not generally a fan of dystopian fiction. I’m not really sure why either because I enjoy dystopian movies; but after seeing the ending to Catching Fire (the movie was fabulous, quick, but good), I wanted to know what happens next. I started the third book in Suzanne Collin’s Hunger […]
