O'Ceagan's Legacy Lillian Wolfe
Grania O'Ceagan wants to become the next captain of her family's space freighter so much that she can taste it. She's next in line and gets her chance to prove her worth when her grandfather is too ill to take the ship on a trading run to Earth.
Although the trip out was perfect, the return trip goes sideways in more ways than one. Her passengers, an old woman and a merchant with his cargo, both raise Grania's suspicions. Trouble at Earth's space station may have spread to her ship. Or something else causes strange things to happen. While she and her crew try to resolve the problems, an unprecedented event slams the ship, leaving all of them in mortal danger.
Can Grania and her brothers find a solution to save the ship, their passengers, and themselves?

She entered the Martian desert, all alone.
Where is she going?
What secret is she hiding?

Whatever her goal, wherever it is, will Anna reach her destination?

Nothing like a thriller when the plan falls apart and the heroes have to wing it! Makes it all the harder for the reader to guess what is going to happen...
Fast and enjoyable.
beautiful cover :)
I felt like I was on Mars, the real Mars, and felt the desperation that isolated settlers will experience. Great read
Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

SANCTUARY, The Cataclysm of North America, is a premonition of a series of geological events which succeed in triggering the Yellowstone Super Volcano.
From mountain slumps on Hawaii to Mega Tsunami’s colliding with the west coast of North America triggering the rupture of the San Andrea’s Fault and the Cascadia Faults resulting in magnitude 9 earthquakes and wide spread devastation. Culminating in the ultimate disaster for North America, the eruption of the Yellowstone Super Volcano.
If you enjoy disaster eBooks or movies like San Andreas 2015, Geostorm, The Quake, Volcano, The Perfect Storm, then SANCTUARY, The Cataclysm of North America by Martin E. Silenus is the eBook for you.

Vietnam was Hell, and this story brings readers into the heart of the jungle to experience what our brave men in uniform endured during that horrific eight - year - old conflict.
Martin E. Silenus shares his humorous essays about what the way life should be for a hard working male. Not too long, not too short, and definitely entertaining. Reading this is like having a beer and venting with your buddies. Ah, good times!
This sounds like the kind of story that belongs on the big screen because upheavals like these are visually amazing. That's why I want to read it. I want to see if it's a brain workout for the imagination to add those visuals.
This series looks so cool! It may be the next series I didn't realize I needed in my life. Looking forward to checking it out.

Bane Illes never smiled.
He never spoke.
But each day, that brooding wizard gave Janiver Benoit a glance.
And when she could not take another quiet stare, or the warmth that look sent over her skin, she took from Bane something he’d never give freely—one lingering, soul knocking kiss.
Ten years later, someone has stolen the one thing that keeps magic hidden from the mortals in Crimson Cove and only Janiver can recover it. But returning to her hometown means she’ll have to face the past and all the secrets she left buried there, including the one person she promised herself she’d never see again. The dangerous wizard that might make leaving Crimson Cove the last thing she wants to do.

Looks really good. love the cover.
Great looking cover, which is what drew me in at the start. But then I read the book description and was blown away! Can't wait to delve into this one!
The celestial cover drew me in, and the blurb was so magically written that the story demands to be read. The promise of romance lingers in fractured memories and fantasy-laden dreams. The writer has made an excellent impression with the blurb and cover. The only thing left to do is to claim "Infinite Us" to experience the adventures of Nash and Willow.
The premise of the story is intriguing! I'm looking forward to this read.
Let's face it. There is no resisting a broody wizard and a second chance at love.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.
As Ellina and Venick come to know each other, their feelings start to shift. Then Venick uncovers a dark secret, and suddenly the fate of the elflands seems to rest in his hands. But will Venick risk his life to save an elf he's not allowed to love?

Barry's been patient, but after twenty-seven years of trimming hedges for people he hates, he's had enough. All he wants to do is to find his missing father and to discover his inner ninja. But life’s not done with throwing him curveballs.
A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime. With talking hedges, samurai ghosts, meddling psychotherapists, and an inexplicably non-linear time pattern conspiring against him, Barry must do battle to save his hide, unleash the ninja within, and rescue his father from an ancient army, a dark sorcerer and a raging inferno.

She writes stories that you can't put down. A wonderful imagination coupled with a love of history.
You can't go wrong with a story set in the Chronicles of the Necromancer world! I love her characters and you get sucked in from the first chapter!
Gail Z Martin never disappoints. Her books are fast-paced, roiling adventures that leave you wanting more.
I recently had the pleasure of reading Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner, the first installment of the Chronicles of the Necromancer. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately grabbed Scourge, the first book in her Darkhurst series, off the shelf at my local bookstore. Now I have TWO new series to finish reading!
If you enjoy fantasy, give this a chance. Prepare to be entertained for hours by a gripping plot, compelling characters, and a unique world.
A great story for fans of epic fantasy.

To Joel, it's just a hobby - a way to blank his mind until he figures out how to move forward to his life. But then things take an increasingly strange turn - and a dark one.

An enterprising young dragonrider sees her father kidnapped before her eyes -- so she pulls her assassin grandmother out of retirement and puts a hit out on the kidnappers to rescue him.
As part of an Instafreebie giveaway I'm part of I discovered THIS glorious reference to facial hair. Artists, you need this - it's got some great photographic references for EPIC beards, mustaches, and more
Super-exciting action-adventure story of a young Viking woman in a world where dragons exist.
Sounds intriguing! Love the grandmother angle.
I love the grandmother angle as an assassin. Helen Mirren comes to mind, but this time wielding a sword or a crossbow rather than a gun

"I will be God!"
The Third Heaven: The Rise of Fallen Stars is book one of a four part series that explores the fascinating story of the Fall of Lucifer.
Lucifer was God's perfect creation. Yet rose up to betray the Lord and bring Heaven itself to civil war.
Many tales have referenced this great angelic war but few have sought to explore the behind the scene relationships between God and the angelic hosts. Why did a third of Heaven seek to overthrow their creator?
Journey back to the beginning, and see the drama unfold before your eyes: as allegiances are broken; choices made, and why all of creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of God!
The Third Heaven is Christian Speculative Fiction. While based on the Bible the book nor its author claims no preeminence over the sacred text.

I love the fresh approach to a Christian narrative... questioning, exploring, discovering. This is ultimately how truth will speak to us, when we ask "why", and "what if". This book sounds so intriguing!

RUEIN: Rue's Requiem G.O. Turner
A Necromancer's Past May Hold the Clue
Rue Khorana is no stranger to the dark, taking in what others fear and making it her own. Yet, few who venture the underside of magic come away unshaded.
Forged as a dark nail among Aequen’s covert team (Barbarian, Rogue, & 2 Clerics), she’s tasked to recover a stolen chest. Its contents: Unknown. Its worth: More than enough for a hot desert trek to the Desolate Chaar. Plucking it from the mitts of a band of gnolls should’ve been simple enough.
So, where did it all turn wrong?
You already know this world.
Now see it from a new exciting perspective.

Smoke and Ritual (Beautiful Dark Beasts 1) Melissa Sercia
Arya Frost has more to contend with than the cryptic voices disturbing her sleep.
Protected inside the haven of Sanctum after losing both her parents in the Blood War a decade ago, Arya is different from other witches. She’s the only witch without a coven.
Or so she thinks.
As her powers accelerate, so do the revelations about her true lineage.
Destined to become the Aether—a witch who can control all four elements—the Elemental covens want her magic, power she didn’t even know she had.
And when the sexy and mysterious god, Chaos shows up, Arya’s place in the world is put even more at risk.
But learning who and what she is, and how to wield her power only tips the surface of the battle raging inside her.

If the North Had Won the Civil War: a preview Andrew Heller
From the author of Gray Tide in the East and Tidal Effects comes a unique look at the American Civil War. If the North Had Won the Civil War is two alternate history novels in one. The modern story follows author and history professor Jack Sawyer, his fiancée Annabelle, fellow history professor Buzz Hanson and Buzz's girlfriend, Lydia through a nightmarish modern-day Confederacy where any person with a drop of black blood in his veins is denied basic human rights and confined to a "Preserve." Jack’s book, "If the North Had Won the Civil War", attacks deeply held Southern beliefs, a crime in the CSA. Interwoven with the modern story is Jack's alternate history of the Civil War, written with the painstaking historical authenticity Mr. Heller's fans have come to expect.
I've always loved the Oz books, so this one looks really interesting!
Quite interesting story ideas. And an interesting cover job.
Alternate histories are always fun. This one is no exception! This book introduces many fascinating ideas and presents a very believable alternate reality. Definitely worth the read!
