Niel Bushnell's Arkship Obsidian is, plain and simple, THE mother of all start-out-in-the-burning-building tales. It's the kind of read that's so immediately engrossing that the reader risks failing to notice if a stampede of T-rexes is approaching in real life. The reader is TOLD nothing, but EXPERIENCES everything. Truly magnificent writing!
Love the concept of this powerful storyline!

Truthfully, nothing attracted me to Lee Isserow's A Sensitive Time till I read the first word. But this dark romance of the paranormal is utterly intriquing and perfectly written.
Fun and intruiging! Who DOESN’t want to read about a magical P.I.? Especially one who is a little less than perfect and is about to find himself in heaps of supernatural trouble!

Have you ever thought about why there is no life on Mars? This comic book answers that question. Here's a hint: evil unicorns killed everything...
PS - this is NOT for children. It contains graphic violence and harsh language. Just the way the unicorns intended.

Now there's a cover that's designed to send me on my merry way to Valhalla! Great title, and an even better youtube unicorn death rock anthem. Keep up the brilliantly insane work.
I just love this cover! Great concept too. Can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

I'm a sucker for a good cover, but between that and the blurb, I'm very enticed. Definitely adding to my TBR list.
This book sounds rather touching, which makes it stand out. Love the concept.
Love the grunge of the cover! Can't wait to read the story behind it!

In Only The Dead Don't Die, A.D. Popovich manages to combine cozy characterization with horror, like Hitchcock used to do, in addition to peppering her writing with dry humor and imaginative similes. A comfortable read for a story that develops organically and includes characters of all ages.
This was a fantastic read! One of those that stay with you for a while...and then a little bit longer. A must-read for lovers of the apocalypse!
Bone chilling cover, great idea for a story!
Great cover and setup! So excited to dive into this world.
A suspenseful story with an interesting main character. There are plenty of horror and thrills. Definitely worth the read!

Compelling, fast-paced, and skillfully written, SAFE is a captivating dystopian novel with a “hold-on-to-your-seat climax.” What if the one place that’s supposed to keep you safe is the one place that could kill you? After the world is nearly destroyed, an island is preserved for survivors. Eighteen-year-old Penelope Evans lives in the Colony along with hundreds of other islanders.

I read this preview of Scythe of Darkness and I'm hooked. I want to grab the full story and immerse myself in the world of Mia and Thanatos. I'm very curious who Thanatos is and what the magnetic pull toward him is. I can't wait to read the rest of the story.
Definitely a story to be reckoned with. Looking forward to seeing more from her.
Girl Gone Ghost, or GGG as I like to call it, is a perfect example of why the genre of Paranormal Mystery is so loved and cherished

I'm a big fan of Jay Allan's work and love his style. Lots of great action, he's a writer who is right in my wheelhouse.
This is one of Jay Allan's best MSF Series you will ever read. I gave this Book 4 Stars on Goodreads and the story gets even better in Books 2 and 3. Check out my Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1549693826
Read this book awhile back and it's still as good as ever with plenty of action and adventure to be had.
Lindsay Buroker's Fallen Empire Collection has caught my interest. I'm sure others will enjoy it too!

A pilot stranded on a faraway planet. An alien seeking symbiosis. Can one marine, perhaps the last hope in the face of a rising alien menace, save the human colonies from subjugation? A Star Wars meets Alien SF thriller.
Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.
