Meru (2023)
(Alloy Era, book 1)
S B Divya
"A breathtaking epic tale that challenges our views of humanity and how two individuals can bond. Again, S. B. Divya forges a new trail into what science fiction can be, follow her and be amazed."
thumb
Dead Silence (2022)
S A Barnes
"Dead Silence gives you the suffocating claustrophobia of 2001: A Space Odyssey mixed with the horrors of Alien. I couldn't stop reading."
thumb
The Supervillain's Guide to Being a Fat Kid (2022)
Matt Wallace
"If self-confidence, friendship, and the never ending question of 'who are the good guys' were ingredients, then this book would be an amazing cake. This book also features an amazing cake."
thumb
Salvaged (2019)
Madeleine Roux
"The rich description dumps you right into the world of Salvaged and won't let you go. Roux engages all senses; this is sometimes a good thing, sometimes bad, always brilliant. . . . I loved it!"
thumb
A Song for a New Day (2019)
Sarah Pinsker
"A Song For a New Day is amazing. Pinsker has one of the strongest voices for character in fiction today; everything her characters do is compelling. Pinsker accomplishes a scary look at a future and still gives us comfort within it. She helps us remember that the world isn't over yet, after all."

Salvation Day (2019)
Kali Wallace
"Salvation Day is a masterful story set at a screaming pace. It had me holding on for dear life all the way through. I loved it."
