Torn by K.D. King

9 February 2011 Nikki R 1

I ran across a book, Torn by K.D. King, that’s about humans on other planets in the solar system.  I don’t know about you, but this is one heck of a topic.  The imagination and prep needed to create a story like this is insane….it’s every OCD bookworms dream. Anaria […]

Entangled by G. Hancock

7 February 2011 Nikki R 3

I always hate it when I can’t get through a book; I feel like I’ve let the author down.  But I just couldn’t keep going on this one.  Entangled by Graham Hancock is just not my cup of tea. Entangled is a time-slip novel alternating between present-day California, Brazil, and […]

Omnitopia Dawn by Diane Duane

1 December 2010 Jennifer 1

Having been around when all seven Harry Potter books had yet to come out presented me with a problem. What to read in between the release days? How could I get my magical fix without reading Harry Potter for what seemed like the hundredth time? The answer to that conundrum […]

Chimera by R. Thurman

30 November 2010 Jennifer 2

Although I’ve never read anything by Rob Thurman, I’ve certainly heard a lot of good things about her writing. So, while I couldn’t really know, I was still cautiously optimistic about reading Chimera. A sci-fi thriller that asks the questions… What makes us human… What makes us unique… And what […]

Killbox by A. Aguirre

Ann Aguirre completely outdoes herself, yet again, and had me crying and getting so emotionally involved with Sirantha Jax in Killbox, that I don’t know how I’m going to wait a year to see what happens next. TALK IS CHEAP WHEN LIVES ARE IN JEOPARDY Sirantha Jax is a “Jumper,” […]

What I Would Recommend v2.0

14 April 2010 Jackie 8

When I first started Literary Escapism, I wrote up a list of recommendations based on what I had read up to that point.  Two years and over 200 books later, I think it’s time I updated my list a little, don’t you think? The one thing that hasn’t changed, whatever […]

Born of Fire by S. Kenyon

22 March 2010 Jennifer 2

The second novel in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s League series, Born of Fire was a sexy and action packed science fiction romance that has me looking forward to the next in the series. In a universe where assassins make the law, everyone lives in fear—except for Syn. Born of an illicit scandal […]

Doubleblind by A. Aguirre

24 November 2009 Jackie 1

I am not a huge SciFi fan, but I absolutely adore the Sirantha Jax series by Ann Aguirre and she so reaffirms that with Doubleblind. It’s not easy to tread lightly wearing steel-toed boots. Sirantha Jax isn’t known for diplomatic finesse. As a “Jumper” who navigates ships through grimspace, she’s […]

Relentless by L. Dane

6 April 2009 Jackie 0

The second novel in Lauren Dane’s Federation series, Relentless is just as engaging as Undercover. Since the first settlers came through the portals from Earth, fifteen Families have held the rule of the Federated Universes in their hands. There’s never been a better time than now to throw out the […]
