The first book in Megan Crane’s new series The Edge, Edge of Obsession, starts with a bang (or two – hehe!). It’s a strange, post-apocalyptic world where these Viking-sorts are plundering the mainland – a mainland that is plagued with no electricity and very rudimentary living arrangements. If you’re looking for […]
The third novel in Alyssa Cole’s Off the Grid series, Mixed Signals, may pick up a few years after Signal Boost (read my review here), but the world is still in flux from the Flare (a large solar flare that knocked out much of the world’s electrical system). While the world begins […]
It’s a fantastic feeling when a book recommendation surpasses expectations. Shadows of Fate by Angela Dennis did just that. An example of great world-building within the story, that doesn’t overwhelm the reader with too much information to process at once, is Shadows of Fate. The story follows Brenna, a Shadow Bearer banished to […]

Rosen brings investigation to the waterlogged landscape for a twisting narrative. Depth combines hardboiled mystery and dystopian science fiction in a future where the […]
The thrill of Steampunk investigation captures the reader in Carrie Patel’s The Buried Life. With a setting that is reminiscent of a post apocalyptic Victorian island, Patel weaves a tale of intrigue. A charming ensemble makes the plot immersive and creates an altogether good read. The gaslight and shadows of […]
A phenomenal entry into the zombie apocalypse genre, M.R Carey’s The Girl With All the Gifts is a book for the ages. Carey brings to life a world which is so believable yet foreign; a fact which works wonderfully against the backdrop of the United Kingdom. The story line is […]
Australia is turned into a fuse of sci-fi standards and wild west in the first installment in a new series by Marianne de Pierres. Peacemaker takes the clichés and turn them on its head. de Pierres creates a story that has the familiarity of a buddy cop dynamic with the […]
