★★★★★ I am absolutely blown away. My heart and soul are just dangling by a thread. Honestly, I have not been this angered (and wonderfully angered) in a long, long time. Think about what you need to do to stay free. Denial, deliberation and the decisive moment: three response stages to any impending disaster. Rush through the… Continue reading Vox — Christina Dalcher

★★★★★ The "Big Crunch" - aka the ever-expanding universe shrinking back into itself and destroying everything and everyone - is about to happen. 'The problem is that we kind of forgot this was going to happen.' And thus humanity procrastinated their way to an early grave. Maybe. Billions of years ago, humans created "Lifeboats" - aka space ships.… Continue reading The Lifeboat at the End of the Universe – Simon Brading

Ceclia Wilberg has it all - the job, the house,… Continue reading The Boy at the Door – Alex Dahl

★★★★ I devoured this book. I honestly cannot remember the last time I finished a book in one sitting. I picked it up after dinner - intending to read a few pages before bedtime - and literally could not put it down. To say this book is an action-packed YA would be putting it mildly. In addition - no… Continue reading Headshot: A Thriller — Matthew McAndrew

★★★★★ I could ask my mom, I suppose, but detectives didn't work like that. Ten-year-old Zac knows he has a dad - everyone has to have a dad - but he's never met him. His nan lashes out with fury and his grandad gets real quiet every time Zac tries to talk about his dad. Most importantly, his mom (Juliet) never speaks of… Continue reading Little Big Love – Katy Regan

★★★★ You have ink in your blood, boy, and no help for it. Books will never be just a business to you. Few people, if any, have ever set eyes on a book in Jess Brightwell's London. And yet, no one is illiterate and writing is considered sacred across the world. Instead of books, everyone has blanks (think: ereader but run… Continue reading Ink and Bone — Rachel Caine
