Genres:Science Fiction, Space Opera, Fiction, Fantasy, Aliens, Military FictionPages:384Published:June 30, 2015 ✧ Overall Score✧ 8/10 Super enjoyable and comfy nostalgic in a way that I’m not fully able to articulate. I loved this story! I’m already looking forward to reading the sequels. I found the political intrigue a bit hard to follow, but I’m 90%…

Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm
Genres:Romance, Science Fiction, Mer, Monsters, Romantasy, MonsterloverPages:381Published:January 7, 2024 ✧ Overall Score✧ 3/10 Atrocious prose and nonsensical plot, the narrative constantly jumping from place to place with illogical leaps and all the emotional stability of a PMSing teenager with bipolar disorder. But… It does have sexy mermen. Ugh. The slag I read to satiate the…
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell
Genres:Fantasy, Horror, Queer, Romance, MonsterloverPages:320Published:April 2, 2024 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7/10 A well written book, written from a truly monstrous perspective! I love stories that let me inside the head of something truly other, even though I think Shesheshan had a bit too much insight into human nature at points. A good read that I’m…
Treasure of the Abyss by Tiffany Roberts
Genres:Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Aliens, Paranormal, MonstersPages:408Published:December 25, 2017 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7/10 As far as monsterlover romance novels go, Tiffany Roberts is one of my favorite authors (well, pair of authors). There’s a fair amount of spice and always with the fated mates and sexual tension, but the plots are always decent and the…
Annie Bot by Sierra Greer
Genres:Science Fiction, Feminism, “Romance”, Dystopia, AIPages:231Published:March 19, 2024 ✧ Overall Score✧ 9/10 I went into this book fully expecting to hate it, and thought my hatred was confirmed by the very first paragraph. But damn, did this turn out to be far more nuanced than I had thought. This is an in-depth portrait of an…
The Family Experiment by John Marrs
Genres:Thriller, Science Fiction, Dystopia, MysteryPages:384Published:May 9, 2024 ✧ Overall Score✧ 2/10 …Ugh. Another book that I feel like could have been great. The idea was interesting but… it really tried to do far too much. The narrative was shattered and the ending felt SO soap opera and just… ham-fisted. Left me feeling frustrated and annoyed….
Och, Ness! by Eryn Hawk
Genres:Fantasy, M/M Romance, Paranormal, Monsters, Shapeshifters, LGBT, MagicPages:162Published:May 18, 2023 ✧ Overall Score✧ 7/10 Exactly what I thought it would be, and exactly as advertised. I had a great time reading this, and it was a very silly romance. I think it could have used a bit more going on outside of the bedroom stuff…
The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley
Genres: Science Fiction, Romance, Time Travel, Fantasy, Historical FictionPages:352Published:May 7, 2024 ✧ Overall Score✧ 6/10I had a good time reading this one, but I don’t feel that it really holds up under any kind of scrutiny. There is also the inherent discomfort of reading a historical romance… about real people. Who very much did not…
