Have you ever read a near-future sci fi romance? It’s been exciting to see so many books in my favourite genre releasing this summer, and one recent release that caught my eye is Moonrising, by Claire Barner. The cover, featuring star-spattered silhouettes, is clearly a nod to the hugely popular space opera romance Winter’s Orbit. … Read more
“I love fantasy romance, but I just can’t get into sci-fi.” I’ve heard some version of this statement from so many fantasy readers! It’s surprising, since science fiction and fantasy are often grouped together as one category by publishing houses, libraries and bookstores. But not so in the minds of romantasy readers! When I ask … Read more

I’m a week behind on posting, because I actually doubled up my reads a couple weeks ago, consuming two books at once.

With romance, intrigue, and a touch of Bridgerton, this read is appropriate for younger teens but equally enjoyable for adults. Vika works as a barmaid on an impoverished, working-class planet that … Read more
So, it’s taken me a couple of weeks to finish this one because it’s longer than my usual reads. (Don’t get me wrong, Heavenbreaker’s no Sanderson brick, but the audiobook is fifteen hours and I generally go for twelve and under. Longer books take longer to build, and, what can I say, I’m impatient!) Heavenbreaker … Read more
I read The Kinsmen Universe a while back because a friend recommended Ilona Andrews to me as a potential comp for my upcoming debut, A Symphony of Starlight. And let me just start by saying I adore the world of the Kinsmen to no end! In a distant sci-fi future, families called Kinsmen have inherited … Read more
Someone in a Sci-Fi/Fantasy facebook group I belong to was asking for reviews of Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles series today. Based on their photo and name, this person appeared to be an adult man interested in reading the series. His call for recs reminded me that Cinder is one of the YA sci-fi books I’ve … Read more
My first Pre-order of 2024, Fiasco by Constance Fay, came in laaaate last night, but I couldn’t go to sleep without at least devouring the first chapter! That’s because I adored Calamity, book one in Fay’s Uncharted Hearts series, so I knew I was in for a treat with its sequel. I wasn’t blogging back … Read more
