This rollicking road trip romp is ridiculous in the best possible way. Alien abductions, wild conspiracy theories and western movies all blend together with just a dash of romance and a whole lot of fun - I enjoyed every page. ~ Reviewed by Rachel Person

John Scalzi's Starter Villain had me laughing out loud. This twist on inheriting a wealthy relative's legacy is pure fun. Charlie, once a reporter turned struggling substitute teacher, unexpectedly inherits his long-lost Uncle Jake's business. But the surprise is it's a Super Villain business, complete with a volcano island lair and super intelligent cats. The comical journey from teacher to supervillain is a hilarious and imaginative ride. ~ Reviewed by Ben Parker

Probably the most fun I've had while reading in a long time! Star Bringer is a fast paced space opera with plenty of action and found family elements. There are even some spicy romance scenes throughout. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining Sci-Fi read! ~ Reviewed by Cassidy Washburn

To be honest, I was skeptical about this book STRICTLY because of the cover. I know everyone says “don’t judge a book by its cover” but c'mon if you’re a true reader you KNOW you’re judging that cover. HOWEVER, having said that, I loved this book. I was in the WORST reading slump I’ve had in 2023 having not finished a book in well over 2 weeks and this book just did it for me. I couldn’t put it down, I couldn’t look away, it was just too good. This book essentially takes place in 90 minutes but it feels like weeks and I LOVED that about this.

When I’m reading a book I want to get lost and I quite literally felt like I was in a whale this ENTIRE book. Not only did I come out of this book with a new fear unlocked but I was also SHAKEN to my core with the horrors our main character Jay has been through. I cannot recommend this enough, this was a total out of the blue book for me. ~ Reviewed by Kylie Thalheimer

A perfect title for this frantic whirlwind ride through the Building, a skyscraper in a metaverse where each floor is a world, as the forces of both science and magic battle for control. The pace can be frantic and absurd but sometimes you just need a storyline that is really out there. ~ Reviewed by Ben Parker
