On their mission to track down Skadi, Dali and Rion end up in a new but related mess when they encounter a sentient AI lifeform who takes over Rion's body. But, despite some disagreements, the AI has similar goals and may prove an ally when things turn even...
Damiskos, disabled from his time in the military, is at a seaside villa when he meets and is drawn to the slave Varazda. But there's more going on among the guests than it first seems---espionage and intrigue---and definitely more to Varazda, which Damiskos uncovers as he helps him and grows closer to...
I wasn't sure how to explain this in the title. Cozy, chill, intimate, even lonely in a thought-provoking sort of way---this sort of feeling is something I've noticed about and something that really draws me to apocalypse and post-apocalyptic books, games, etc. But I feel like that's sort of not what people associate with the genre? So that's what I wanted to talk about, plus give some...
Maia has more allies than she ever dreamed she would, but that does complicate things, and things aren't going as smoothly as she'd hoped. As her enemies make moves, plans change, and Maia and friends will have to take some serious risks if they want to stop the Emperor and the...
Valentine needs money so he can get into the city and get hormones and surgery, so when he and his salvaging partner are offered a job to retrieve stolen androids, they take it. But between feelings for the cute AI in an android body helping them, disagreements with his partner, salt pirates, and the jerks they're working for, things could get...
Babies make for interesting elements on book covers because, when it comes to urban fantasy, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and other similar genres, they look so out of place. They’re just so helpless and innocent, and it makes me suddenly very concerned for their safety because they shouldn’t be around zombies and aliens and demons and other terrible creatures and people who aren’t going to...
I have a lot of game reviews to catch up on, so I have another 3-in-1 mini reviews post! These three have really cute and pleasant graphics, and they're just really chill games, great for relaxing and unwinding. But they can also be quite challenging. And the types of puzzles are really unique. Hopefully you'll enjoy them as much as I did (or still am for two of...
When Katsu is called home for an emergency, Ashe goes with him. But the longer he's there, away from his found family in a land where everyone seems to hate him, the more it starts to take a toll on Ashe and their...
New year, new books! More specifically, new queer sci-fi/fantasy books. This is Part 1 because it only includes books from the first half of the year, and I plan to do another in July. Sort of by accident I have five adult books (which I put first) and five YA (which I put in the second row). There are a lot more than ten I'm looking forward to, but I had to limit myself because I only have so...
Now part of a special team, Dali has been going on missions, hoping it will one day bring them closer to finding who was responsible for their partners' deaths. But then they get assigned to negotatiate with Shontavians, an alien species created for violence, and it may be their most dangerous and interesting mission...
