Review: Aestus Book 1: The City (Aestus #1) by S.Z. Attwell

February 5, 2023 by A.J. Calvin Leave a Comment

Aestus has a cinematic feel to many of its scenes, which I loved. Coupled with the pacing and the clean writing style, it made for a great read.

SPSFC Review: The Drift by Casie Aufenthie

January 6, 2023 by Jordan Leave a Comment

This is a book that is a lot different than what I would typically read but it was an enjoyable one. The romantic plot is a strong plot point through the novel and it is done well, letting it naturally come. The action scenes took me by surprise and were extremely fun to read. An entertaining good read full of heart and characters that are trying to survive in an oppressive world. The book is well written and fans of sci fi romance will definitely find this a great read.

Review: The Prometheus Effect by David Fleming

October 21, 2022 by Jordan Leave a Comment

The Prometheus Effect is a story that will make you think of how we are utilizing the natural resources of our planet and where it could lead. It shows the darker side of human greed and not thinking of the future of the human race. Even with the large amount of ideas, it will definitely engage the reader in a variety of intriguing ideas that will stick in the mind as it plays over and over again with the ideas that it implants. It is a solid stand alone that hints at what may come in the future if we do not take care of the resources that we use.

Review: The Created by Michael McCloskey

September 25, 2022 by Jordan 1 Comment

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 Stars Within by Alex Arch

August 27, 2022 by Craig Bookwyrm Leave a Comment

I absolutely loved how the author brought the parallel stories together. The ending left me with so many questions, the kind you want to have from good science fiction stories – philosophical questions about, life, purpose, reality, and how we impact the world and people we interact with.

Review: In The Orbit Of Sirens (The Song of Kamaria #1) by T. A. Bruno

This is a book that will cater to any that really love their Science Fiction reads. It is contained to one world, that is brought to life over and over again with amazing attention to detail, with a hint of what might be happening in the further reaches of the universe. I can tell that this is one that will hook the readers and make them stay for the long haul. I know that I was able to sit back and really enjoy this one! If you listen carefully, you will hear these pages sing the correct song of harmony telling you to read them.

Review: Red Rising (Red Rising Saga, #1) by Pierce Brown

June 27, 2022 by Naty (NatyReadsBooks) 1 Comment

I started this book with a feeling of excitement since I have owned it for quite some time. I felt confused when I started reading the first few chapters. This is not new for me and it usually happens to me with whatever I read. As I continued, things finally started to come together. Straight off the bat, the first 50 pages were brutal. I never expected so much to happen in 50 pages I mean, WOW!. I went through so many emotions. The author did a great job setting up the story this way.

Review: The Phlebotomist by Chris Panatier

June 24, 2022 by Justin Gross Leave a Comment

Oh man, was this a breath of fresh air! The Phlebotomist started out as what I felt was a well-written but largely generic dystopian corporate thriller. However, at around ten chapters/80 pages in, there was a twist so well executed and unexpected that it changed the course of the entire book. I don’t want to give anything away, so I will be as vague as possible with my review.
