The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek. Translated by Cecil Parrott. This book was recommended by a friend of mine who come from Russia and had previously read a translation in Russian, which I can only guess might be closer to the n...
Blood Healing
by K.J. Colt
Blood Healing(The Healers of Meligna, Book2)by K.J. Colt I received this in ARC form from the author and read it immediately and should probably have had this review posted much earlier. I was busy waiting for other events of my own to...

The Tangled Path of Destiny
by Shiva Winters
The Tangled Path of Destiny by Shiva Winters Wow! What more can I say except wow? I have to admit that I might be the exception to the rule when it comes to this book. I did not expect or demand this much detail of what is going on wit...
Seth and Chloe
by Wyatt Davenport
Lunara:Seth and Chloe by Wyatt Davenport I really enjoyed this story for the depth of the characters. There's the science and it's important but to me it was more a backdrop to develop the characters around rather than an important piec...

Beyond
by Maureen A. Miller
Beyond (Beyond Series) By Maureen A. Miller Beyond is an entertaining book and for the most part I thought it was mostly light reading and quite suitable for the young adult market. There were elements that seemed quite familiar through...
Yargo
by Jacqueline Susann
Yargo by Jacqueline Susann Even though some of the science was bit out dated; when considering the time this was written it becomes less so in some respects and stands as an entertaining if perhaps light read that had a lot of potential...

A Desert Called Peace
by Tom Kratman
A Desert Called Peace by Tom Kratman. (Cerrera) I've let this one sit in my kindle for quite a while before I finally decided to read it. Obviously one reason for downloading it was that it's free. It's also long. I enjoyed it and there...
Astra: Synchronicity
by Lisa Eskra
Astra: Synchronicity By Lisa Eskra I enjoyed reading this one. It's a bit of a light in most ways though Lisa Eskra took on an ambitious task and approached it from a slightly different angle than I've seen in the past. For a first effo...
The Sixth Discipline
by Carmen Webster Buxton
The Sixth Discipline (Haven) by Carmen Webster Buxton I really liked this story and found myself immersed from the first page and onward. The Sixth Discipline is yet one more of those kidnapped novels that seem so popular out there. Wh...
The Emperor's Edge
by Lindsay Buroker
The Emperor's Edge by Lindsay Buroker I had this one in my kindle and of course one reason was that it is free. I decided that since I'd delved into steam-punk that I'd take a look see and decide if I should read it. The first thing I n...
The Object: Book One
by Winston Emerson
The Object: Book One (Object Series) by Winston Emerson I really enjoyed this novel although I'm not that attached the the horror mayhem type of stories like this. This draws some similarities to H.G. Wells War of the Worlds, which aga...
Ill-Timed Entanglements
by Kassandra Lamb
Ill-Timed Entanglements (The Kate Huntington Mystery Series #2 )by Kassandra Lamb I loved this Kate Huntington mystery. I'm not even certain how I obtained this book. It might have been recommended from reading another mystery. I do lik...
The Sixth Line of Defense
by Shiva Winters
The Sixth Line of Defense by Shiva Winters Shiva does it again. Shiva Winters has a style a draws me right into the character right in the beginning. In this case she sounds like your average troubled teen who has to deal with a lot of...
American Goddesses
by Gary R. Henry
American Goddesses by Gary Henry I enjoyed this story, but for me there were moments when it seemed to be extremely campy. It's well written although it is of an unusual style which is something it shares with some few other novels I'v...
Death Whispers
by Tamara Rose Blodgett
Death Whispers(The Death Series,#1) by Tamara Rose Blodgett I wasn't sure how much I'd like this. Paranormal Young Adult with some romance. It starts out slow and with the protagonist being somewhere between 13 and 14 that's understanda...
The Adventures of Miss Mind Shift
by Jayme Beddingfield
The Adventures of Miss Mind Shift(Emerald City Nights)Volume 1 by Jayme Beddingfield I came really close to putting this book down after the first dozen or so pages. I have to admit that I'm glad I forged past that rough patch to watch ...
The Honor of the Queen
by David Weber
STEM
by Christopher Blankley
Zombpunk(book 1) Stem by Christopher Blankley First of all; this was a thoroughly enjoyable read despite what some people see as catastrophic failure and I only see as mild speed bumps. I like the way that this started because you have ...
Window in Time
by Charlotte A. Banchi
Window In Time A time-Travel Fantasy by Charlotte A Banchi I enjoyed this book a lot. There are a few speed-bumps (mostly of my own making; I believe) along the way that could have gotten in the way but I think the Charlotte Banchi does...
Memoria
by Alex Bobl
Memoria By alex Bobl (They control your memories - They tell you how to live.) This was one of those few that took my interest by the book cover. It's cover reminded me of Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in its incan...
Dark Nights
by Christopher A. Gray
Dark Night by Christopher A. Gray A friend of mine suggested I read this. He gave me a sneak peek of the copy he had and I decided it would be worth the small amount to check the rest out. This is one of those slow moving suspense novel...
The Zondon
by Robby Charters
The Zondon by Robby Charters This was an interesting read unfortunately I can see that it might easily be one that is quite easily discarded before being finished. Overall I think it was well plotted out storyline with interesting featu...
Max and the Gatekeeper
by James Todd Cochrane
Max and the Gatekeeper by James Todd Cochrane Max and the Gatekeeper starts out well with some bit of excitement to get the reader interested and then a slower paced mystery that stretches out only for as long as Max's Grandfather sees ...
The Ripple Trilogy: Books 1-3 of The Ripple Series
by Cidney Swanson
The Ripple Trilogy Books 1-3 by Cidney Swanson "the beautiful and the dark together" First of all I really enjoyed this set of books; a lot. For me it took off right at the beginning and then just kept me running at a steady pace all t...
In a Glass Darkly
by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
In A Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu Through a glass, darkly (1 Corinthians 13) I enjoyed these stories and of course this includes Carmilla which I've already spoken about. The other stories here often come close to making me ask wha...
Trool's Rules
by George Ian Stuart
Trool's Rules by George Ian Stuart This is one of those books that you can love and hate all at once. It uses a number of tropes and unfortunately the plot hinges upon a seriously flawed trope relating to sexual erotica elements that ma...

Strangers with Familiar Faces
by Jennifer-Crystal Johnson
I hunted a bit- maybe not enough- for some ideas on how to review poetry. I managed mostly to run across everything from laughable to silly to downright ludicrous. I took a lit class in college where we studied and wrote buckets of poe...
And All the Stars
by Andrea K. Höst
And All the Stars by Andrea K Host. I first had a taste of this novel in a sample; before discovering that it hadn't been released. In the bit of the beginning that I was able to read, I was hooked. I don't read a lot of apocalyptic nov...
Stormdancer
by Jay Kristoff
Stormdancer (The Lotus War Book One) by Jay Kristoff This book is marketed as Japanese Steam-Punk and that alone is intriguing. I have often heard people ask if there were other steam-punk novels than those centered on Great Britain and...
Adrift on the Sea of Rains
by Ian Sales
::Palimpsest of Ambiotic Susurrus:: Adrift on the Sea of Rains by Ian Sales This is where I got the title from. You will have to read it to find out. It's a novella that might remind you of some of the old early 60's Twilight Zone...
Space Captain Smith
by Toby Frost
Space Captain Smith by Toby Frost. I always like to say something good about a book before I point out the negative. It has a nice cover and I was able to read more than a full chapter for free. Toby should look at the small piece wher...
G's Future
by Don Viecelli
G's Future (A Novella)by Don Viecelli I love this story, but at times it was a trying experience. This book reminds me a lot of that movie Making Mr. Right. It stared John Malkovich and Ann Magnuson and was about an android made for th...

Xenolith
by A. Sparrow
Xenolith (The Convergence) by A. Sparrow I loved this book. Of course one thing to love is that it's free. It really would be worth paying for. (Has some issues but I wouldn't downgrade my stars for those. It has a lot going for it.) T...
Peregrin
by A. Sparrow
Peregrin by A.Sparrow. In this book Peregrin is a foreigner- stranger -traveler which in my dictionary is Peregrine. On the other hand Peregrin is Pippin from the LOTR. Since this is the second half of an epic adventure it all balances ...

Dark Chatter

Dark Chatter by Andrew Branch (Within the Dark Chatter this is a memorable novel) There was a lot to like about this novel. It seems to be so much and yet it falls so short of what it could be. Like expecting french-fries and getting...
Awaken His Eyes
by Jason Tesar
The Awakened:Book One (Awaken His Eyes) By Jason Tesar I Liked this book I liked the style of writing And I found the story engaging. There are some few annoying elements that have more to do with editing decisions and this it the way ...
Second Star
by Dana Stabenow
Second Star (Star Svensdotter Book 1) By Dana Stabenow Perhaps the title of this comes from everyone's favorite quote from Peter Pan by James M. Barrie. "Second to the right," said Peter, "and then straight on till morning." And then; ...
Mountain
by Liu Cixin
Mountain by Liu Cixin Mountain is an interesting novella. I'm not all that fond of novella's, partially because it's difficult to know what to expect. Short stories have to move quickly to fill the reader in or not depending on the way ...
Shadow of the Sun
by Laura Kreitzer
Shadow of the Sun(Book One of the Timeless Series) by Laura Kreitzer Let me say that I loved-hated this book at the very beginning. As I got past that I could hardly put it down. For some reason the whole beginning sort of read like a ...
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
by Susannah Cahalan
Brain on Fire:My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan This book scared the daylights out of me. There are so many parts of the breakdown here that read like regular parts of life. I quickly come to a realization that this is the reaso...
Hindsight
by A.A. Bell
Hindsight by A.A. Bell I read Diamond Eyes- the first of the trilogy of this story and fell in love with Mira and all her quirky ways. So naturally its inevitable that I read Hindsight. The intensity of this novel just blew me away. Gr...
Of Ants and Dinosaurs
by Liu Cixin
Of Ants and Dinosaurs by Cixin Liu I'm beginning to thoroughly enjoy the spin that Cixin Liu puts in his stories. Of Ants and Dinosaurs is a sort of blend of analog and fable and cautionary tale. Maybe we could call it Fable -istic Fic...
A Handful Of Stars
by Dana Stabenow
A Handful of Stars(Star Svensdotter #2)by Dana Stabenow Entering the world of Star Svendotter is like entering the Worlds of Heinlein. There are so many elements of Dana Stabenow's world building that remind me of what I've seen in Hein...
Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue
by Hugh Howey
Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue (The Bern Saga Book 1)by Hugh Howey It takes a fairly riveting book to keep me up past bedtime. That Molly Fyde did so is not that hard to understand when looking at the whole. Everyone loves those sto...
Red Planet Run
by Dana Stabenow
Red Planet Run (A Star Svensdotter Adventure) I loved this story much more than the two previous. I felt the two previous were doing quite well at paying homage to Robert Heinlein. There is nothing wrong with that but for some reason I ...
Molly Fyde and the Land of Light

Molly Fyde and the Land of Light(The Bern Saga Book 2) by Hugh Howey I can't say enough about how good this book is. Each world is richly drawn out it such a fashion that it helps explain the motivations of many of the important charact...
Molly Fyde and the Blood of Billions
by Hugh Howey

Molly Fyde and the Fight for Peace

Molly Fyde and the Fight for Peace (The Bern Saga Book 4) by Hugh Howey I've said it before and I'll say it again I love the Molly Fyde series. The books just keep getting better. They also keep demanding more attention to the details. ...
Leopard Dreaming
by A.A. Bell
Leopard Dreaming (Book three of the Mira Chambers Series.) by A.A. Bell This book is fast paced and exciting and of the three books it is the most frustrating at times. Mira Chambers seems to live in a land of grey where there is a thin...
Time Change B2
by Alex Myers
Time Change Book Two:B2 by Alex Myers Book one of this set has the most infuriating beginning and ending. The beginning is like a preface or such called Before and the last chapter 54 could as well be called after. Those two are tidbits...
Power Within
by C.L. Causer
Power Within (The Lazarus Children) by C.L. Causer There are so many thing to like about this novel. It has a good plot-well thought out action- well paced- suspenseful and just the right amount of twist and turns to get the reader to ...
Forbidden the Stars

Forbidden The Stars(The interstellar Age Book 1)by Valmore Daniel This is one of those stories that has to grow on you slowly. It might often be abandoned before it ripens enough for the impatient. I know I almost let this one go. It...
Water
by Terra Harmony
Water (The Akasha Series) by Terra Harmony I liked this book, most of it anyway. But it is first and foremost a Psychological Thriller from the very start. There are a number of other Genre Elements but this is a study of how Kaitlyn ac...

Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu This is an old book,a classic. Published around 1872 and about 25 years before Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is a must read for all vampire lovers. I would consider this to be quite mild compared to ma...
Valens Revenge
by Sherrel Lee
Valens Revenge (Book 2) (The Valens of Legacy)by Sherrel Lee I'm torn. I love this book more than the first. In so many ways. Yet I love the first book because the characters seemed to have more heart. Or at least Jemma's character had ...
Telepaths and Traitors
by K.J. Blaine
Telepaths and Traitors (Book 1 of Phoenix Chronicles)by K.J.Blaine There are some outstanding things about this book. The first is that it was free so I didn't read the blurb or anything and the cover is okay but not outstanding, so I w...
Turing Evolved
by David Kitson
Turing Evolved by David Kitson I came into this one with a totally wrong idea of what I would get. That wasn't bad, but it did result in it being on my kindle for a long time before I read it. The book description is rather short and...
Kinetics
by Andrew Peed
Kinetics by Andrew Peed First I should mention that I really enjoyed this book. I do feel obligated to make an observation that will become obvious to anyone who has read the many novels that follow the same thematic threads. This boo...
At The Waters Edge
by Melanie Nilles
At The Water's Edge (Adronis Novella #1) by Melanie Nilles At The Water's Edge was a great book as an introduction to Melanie Nilles. I can't say it's the best book, I won't do that until I've read a few more of her's. It's a great ente...

Trixie & Me (Galactic Exploration) by Peter Cawdron I really enjoyed this short story-novella or whatever you might call it. It is both entertaining and thought provoking. Trixie and Berry are explorers but in the beginning of the stor...
The Disenchanted Pet
by Kate Policani
The Disenchanted Pet by Kate Policani I can't give this book enough praise. I have to admit something I don't usually do with a book was done here. I got this book because of the cover. Not that I thought that the cover was cool and gr...
Shouting In The Silence

The Infinite Life of Emily Crane

Daddy's World

Daddy's World by Walter Jon Williams This is a short story.Probably somewhere around twenty to thirty pages. But it's really good as a short story and entertaining. It's also thought provoking. It asks some simple questions, which may o...
Concealed Power
by K.J. Colt
Concealed Power by K.J. Colt First off I received this book free. To be honest I might not have read it if it hadn't been free. Mostly because it is just a bit out of my usual favorite genre. I really loved this story because it made me...
Nimbus: A Steampunk Novel
by B.J. Keeton
Nimbus: A Steampunk Novel (Part One) by Austin King & B.J.Keeton This a clever little novel or novella depending on how you look at it. I really enjoyed reading it and it peaked my interest enough to get me to purchase the remainder of ...
Gears of a Mad God: A Steampunk Lovecraft Adventure
by Brent Nichols
Gears of a Mad God; A Steampunk Lovecraft Adventure by Brent Nichols I seem to be going down Steam-punk lane recently. This is an interesting book and it was a fun read. I'm not sure if it qualifies as Steam-punk just because it has ste...
The Backworlds

The Backworlds(Book 1) by M. Pax This book really entertained me. I love character driven stories and I frankly thought at the beginning that there was no way a shallow self absorbed character like this was going to get me through the ...
Ryann
by Paul Dorset
Ryann by Paul Dorset I enjoyed and thoroughly loved this Novella. This is 106 pages and reads well enough to be a novel. I'm hoping there is more to Ryann's story. I've had this one in my kindle for a while-waiting. I've avoided it. Ma...
People Of The Tiger: USA Edition - Book One of The Rational Future Trilogy

The Trilisk Ruins

The Trilisk Ruins(Parker Interstellar Travels #1) by Michael McCloskey Trilisk Ruins is a nice entertaining Science Fiction. At first I thought I was headed into yet another so so spy action thriller disguised as a Science Fiction nov...
The Robinsons' Dark Matter

The Robinson's Dark Matter by Michael Raymond I really loved this story. When I first started reading it I was thinking mostly Juvenile Science Fiction. The main characters are fairly young and still in school. Their parents are workin...
The Lost Girls

The Lost Girls by Jason Halstead This is one of those tough books that you have to dig past a few things to get to the place where you decide you like it. As with some others this one took me out of my comfort zone right from the start...
Day One
by John Forsberg
Day One (Sol War 1) by John Jay Forsberg I'm giving this 5 stars because its played well even though there are some potential road bumps. And because I'm giving it 5 stars I'm going to be a bit brutal about those bumps. First and forem...
The Warden Threat
by D.L. Morrese
The Warden Threat(Defying Fate) by D.L. Morrese I don't judge a book by its cover and rarely by the little blurb on the back or some times an inner page, which is thankfully a good thing because the cover of this book wasn't helpful for...
To Catch a Bad Guy
by Marie Astor
To Catch a Bad Guy by Marie Astor So, I like to look at the reviews before I decide on a book. It really helps when there are more than a handful of bad reviews. I suppose there must be some thing odd about admitting that I took a close...
Lady of Devices
by Shelley Adina
Lady of Devices (Magnificent Devices) By Shelley Adina I purchased this and it's been in my kindle for a while and I'm not sure when I really planned to read it. I don't read a lot of steampunk so I won't claim expertise in that field. ...
Timepiece
by Heather Albano
Timepiece by Heather Albano As I've protested before, Steampunk is not my genre. Nor am I a fan of history although I'm not entirely bereft of some grasp of historical events. So, when the book begins at Waterloo in the midst of battle ...
Timekeeper
by Heather Albano
Timekeeper (Timepiece series) by Heather Albano I love a book that makes me work and this one did that. Well not just this one, there's the stack of historical romance novels that all boast the name Trevelyan on them somewhere and then...
