The Legion and the Lioness
The Legion and the Lioness Robert Armstrong
ON AMAZON AND KINDLE UNLIMITED
They said I would never finish flight school. Never rank at the top of my class. Never fly with the top aces. Never return from combat against the Kelton androids. Never survive emergency surgery.
Here I am.
The year is 2151, Earth is gone. A hell scape. I’ve been awoken after 72 years of cryosleep on a medical facility on Saturn’s moon, Titan. I have nothing, no home, no friends, no concept of this new world, these Titans.
All that remains is the old conflict that has blackened my veins and memories of the ones I loved still fresh in my heart. Forgotten for decades.
But it seems war hasn’t forgotten me, no, even in my slumber. My name is Captain Victoria Ann Belic, I was a wife and an ace fighter pilot, and have been revived for one reason—to die again.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
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?

Stars of Ice and Shadow
Stars of Ice and Shadow C.S. Vass
He took an oath to kill…
…but prophecies don’t die.
Godwin is many things. Demon-slayer. Assassin. Star-cursed.
But he’s no traitor. That is, until the Sages put him in an impossible situation.
After being assigned to slay an unlikely target, he embarks on a quest to find answers—and he’ll take on every demon in Gaellos until he gets them.
The only problem is there’s more than demons in his way.
The Empire is out for a second chance to conquer his home. The shifting of the stars heralds new magic—some of which is very suitable to things better left in the dark.
And when a prophecy as old as the gods unfolds, Godwin learns what’s truly important to him—and what he’ll have to sacrifice to protect it.
Swords will dance and nations will tremble!

According to legend, when the world was young, the goddess Issaura appeared among men. Those who treated her with kindness received the gift of the gods—the ability to transform into an animal form. This was a great honor but one that separated this race from other humans. Before Issaura departed the mortal realm, she promised to return if her people were ever at the point of destruction.
Now a threat is rising from a land across the mists of the ocean, a threat that will push this race to the brink of extinction. Responding to the call to war, seventeen-year-old Lluava heads off to find her destiny, one that will carve her name in history.

Super-exciting action-adventure story of a young Viking woman in a world where dragons exist.

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
The Identity Thief
The Identity Thief Alex Bryant
A shapeshifting sorcerer called Cuttlefish unleashes a terrifying wave of magical carnage across London. A strange family known as the River People move into Cassandra Drake's neighbourhood. Are the two events connected?
Spoiler alert: no.
Reasons to buy this book:
> Good cover.
> Cheap. Seriously, the Kindle version only costs as much as about 3 mangoes. What would you rather have – 10 hours of gripping urban fantasy, or 30 minutes of biting into sweet, succulent mango flesh?
> OK, I shouldn’t have used mango, objectively the best fruit, as a comparison. But buying this book doesn’t stop you from buying mangoes, if that’s what you insist on doing.

First of all, love the cover! Second, the book description reeled me right in (pun-intended with a sorcerer's name of "Cuttlefish"). Obviously the author has a great sense of humor as the description reveals too. I'll definitely be checking out The Identity Thief by Alex Bryant's!
I enjoyed this immensely. Perfect for Lemony Snickets and Ben Aaronovitch fans. But there are some serious triggers, so do read the warnings first and see if it's for you.
The Identity Thief is a fantastic paranormal/shifter story. Taking place right in the heart of England (London)... page turning and well written!

J. Scott Coatsworth's "The Last Run" includes sensuous, compellingly exotic, fantasy worldbuilding with a deft enough feel for suspense to leave the reader knowing things the characters do not.
I'm always a sucker for a space odyssey story! And a great cover to boot!
J. Scott Coatsworth writes amazing space fiction, surprising you with his ideas, drawing you into the imaginative world and making you feel desperately for the characters. World building is believable, the dialogue flows and the story is compelling. I can't say more without giving too much away. Highly recommended.

A fatal mistake catapults Barry into the adventure of a lifetime.

Don't be fooled by the beautiful cover, this is a story about an over-the-hill hedge-trimmin' ninja with a heavy metal listening grandma. The characterizations are well-done and the book is an engaging, light read.
Overweight fish finger addicted ninja gardeners? Samurai ghosts? What's not to love! If you're a keen Robert Rankin fan, I'd recommend giving this book a read.

Unmarked (The Half-Blood Chronicles)
Unmarked (The Half-Blood Chronicles) Ivy Baum
Magic comes with a price.
All my life, I’ve wanted to escape—from the trailer park, and from the watchful eye of my religious step-father.
I always knew I was different. I just didn’t know how different until I started having strange visions. My best friend is convinced I’m psychic. It sounds crazy…until a real psychic tells me I’m only half-human.
Turns out that the father I never knew was part of a secret, magical race. His side of the family is powerful—and dangerous. And, unfortunately for me, they don’t approve of half-bloods.
Now some very powerful people want me dead. The good news is that I finally get to leave my old town—and my old life. The bad news is that this new life might just kill me.

Some hatred doesn’t fade with the passage of time…
Sage Rosewood’s heart nearly stops when she arrives home to find the front door of her house open. Someone has been inside, someone supernatural with a grudge against her and her family. But this unfortunate day takes an even darker turn when she learns that her mother and aunt have been taken.
Fearing for Sage’s safety, her grandmother sends her to a safehouse in The Woodlands with strict instructions to stay hidden, but The Woodlands are far from safe. The town is teeming with supernatural life—from the handsome werewolf, Kayden, who makes her tingle in a certain place, to mysterious and possibly dangerous witches -and some of the residents still harbor a deep hatred for the Rosewood witches.

A witty yet convincing presentation of telepathy is just one of the indicators that Desy Smith's DIVISION will be a fun read for lovers of fantasy and romance.
"Division" is an amazing rhyme between unity and necessity. I love the mutal "special" concept both genders share, as well as the philosophy of both being eventually better together. Excellent!
On the money!

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.

Salvage Rat—An excerpt Larry N. Martin
Star Force pilot and hero Wyatt McCoy left his medals and career behind after the Rim Wars, disillusioned and bitter when he learns the truths behind the conflict. He takes his converted gunship, the Nellie B, and heads to the Near Fringe, salvaging derelict ships and abandoned mining colonies. Dr. Beth Parker is a space archeologist, documenting the history of planetary expansion and colonization for Kalok Enterprises. A piece of alien technology embeds itself in Beth’s arm, giving her the ability to see the energy impressions of long ago people and events. When Beth uncovers proof of genocide that could bring down the big mining companies, she’s the target of assassins. Wyatt makes a split-second decision to intervene, launching them both into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game.

Happily Every After: The Nonsensical Story of How Llamas Were Made Jack A. Warren
A princess, an alcoholic vampire, and a honey badger walked into a bar… Actually, it was more of walking out of a bar. Let’s start from the beginning.
Once upon a time, there was a knight in not so shining armor who harmed more damsels than he saved, a kidnapped princess being held for ransom, a depressed unicorn searching for love, an alcoholic vampire with just a slight drinking problem, and a honey badger who was a bit of a party animal living in a world of fantasy. They must come together to battle vegan goblins, thwart the plans of trolls (that only speak Deutsch), listen to a group of passive-aggressive gnomes, and save a group of really baked tree elves in order to bring the princess home.
