Today I have the privilege, nay, the honor of revealing the cover to the third book of the Hybrid Helix by JCM Berne. This series has quickly become one of my favorites and I have eagerly been looking forward to the third installment that will be release on October 31st.
Review: The Iron Crown (Dragon Spirits #1) by L.L. MacRae
The Iron Crown lives up to the hype. It reminds me of the epic fantasy novels that I grew up with. The magic is intriguing and creates a world that is fascinating to discover as the pages rapidly turn. It is engaging, exciting, and many other things. It also has a unique take on dragons that makes it a lot of fun to read and to figure out how it all works out in the grand scheme of things. The characters are beautifully flawed, with each having a weakness to either overcome or succumb to.
Review: A Dream of Waking Life by E. S. Fein
This is a novel that will make your head spin!! It will show you how crazy the human mind could be to itself, with the twists and turns of a supernatural thriller. The writing will pull you in, making you feel as if you are living the life of the main character. It will make you ponder the true depths of the imaginations and what is real. There is a complete possibility that we may be living in a dream…
Review: The Created by Michael McCloskey
The Created was a clever mix of alien species and technology. It is a fast read and will definitely get the mind thinking about what technology could be used for in the future. It is an enjoyable read, even if it the parts were very distinct in the writing and feel. And once in a while, it might be necessary to check that potted plant that seems to be moving when you’re not watching it.
Review: The Last of the Atalanteans (The Drowned Kingdom Saga #2) by P.L. Stuart
Overall, this is a series that has me invested in every way that it can. I look forward to more bloody conflicts, political intrigues, and seeing how Othrun continues to develop. This is a series that will keep you thinking about it at all times of the day or night. I felt the shock of what had happened and I keep thinking about it, even after finishing it days ago. If you haven’t read what has happened to the Atalanteans, you should.
Review: Shadowless by Randall McNally
This is a unique ride, full of peril to all of the characters as they look to survive the wrath of the gods and their followers. It takes a lot of my favorite kind of abilities and introduces them in new ways, making for a fun and engaging read. It was nice to feel like each chapter was a finished story, giving a sense of satisfaction at each new chapter. Find yourself cheering on some new characters as they look to take battle to the gods themselves.
Review: Starbinder (Eye of Eternity Novella) by Mark Timmony
Starbinder will leave you breathless, filled with heart-pounding action with extremely engaging characters. The magic flows off the pages, entrancing all who read it, ensnaring them into the adventure that they will not want to escape. I eagerly encourage all to pick up this novella and become introduced into a world that will definitely be talked about in many fantasy circles.
Review: The Pariah (The Covenant of Steel #1) by Anthony Ryan
The Pariah is a good outlaw tale, full of brutal and bloody violence, and an overall tale of discovery. It is exciting and has a lot of hints of what could be expected in future installments. There is a lot of enjoyment, with a writing prose that is expertly crafted, making for an easy read.
Review: Sword of Mercy and Wrath (The Swords of Dominion #1) by NC Koussis
Overall, this novel was very entertaining. It is a dark tale that will hit the right notes with readers who like a good werewolf tale full of bloody action fights. There is a lot more history and lore that can be explored, either in the future or from past tales that would explain more about the werewolves.
Review: Alien Advantage by Lorain O’Neil
A fast standalone read, with a normal character trying to outthink the world just so he can be free. It is not science heavy, allowing for all types of readers to enter into its world and find the hope amidst the chaos of a frantic pursuit. It will make readers think about what would happen to them if they happened to be abducted and thrust into a world that was previously hidden to them. Overall, a pretty decent adventure that will keep people guessing right up to the very end.
Review: The Children of Gods and Fighting Men (Gael Song #1) by Shauna Lawless
Brilliant writing that will leave you thinking about what just happened and what is to come in all of the right ways. I highly recommend this novel for those with ties to Irish history as well as to those who want a great novel with amazing strong female POVs. This is a novel that will resonate with many different types of readers, leaving a taste that will make them crave for more of this series. I eagerly look forward to where it will go.
Review: Thrice (Needle and Leaf #1) by Andrew D Meredith
Thrice is one that is suitable for all types of readers. It has adventure, revenge, crime syndicates, and a mystery that will keep readers guessing up to the end. I did the audio and the author does a fantastic job of this as well! This is an exciting new series with a ton of potential and promise!!
