A Playful Romp
High school is over, now what? For Alex, it's community college to try and figure out what he wants to do with his life. Photography class? That's a way to meet cute girls. Searching for the right image to impress leads him to a cemetery at night. The very night a cultist is performing a ritual sacrifice. Alex stops it, but at what cost? Now, with a sexy angel and demon magically bound to him, girls are the least of his worries. They each must figure out how to reconcile their new lives with their old ones. They'll have to figure it out fast, because the cultist had friends. Those friends will do anything to get their hands on Alex.
Good Intentions is an Urban Fantasy novel with Erotica leanings. I say Erotica leanings because it is very much a plot driven story. Unlike many stories I've seen where the plot serves only to get the charters to their next tryst, Good Intentions is well put together. The Erotica accents the story and not the other way around. A playful romp through an urban fantasy landscape, Elliott Kay does a great job of creating a believable world filled with angels, demons, vampires, werewolves, and things that go bump in the night. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Eternal Action!
I'm a fan of military sci-fi and M R Forbes delivers. Developed characters, all deeply flawed, thrust into a hopeless situation, and the fate of all humanity in the balance. All the elements of truly great sci-fi are here.
Ares is a engaging soldier with a problem. Everyone believes he's a hero. He might even be okay with that, if it wasn't all a lie. He plays the part because his superior officers need a poster boy. There's a war on, and recruitment needs the boost.
Deep in interstellar space, a malignant intelligence awaits. It has only one goal, exterminate humanity.
Fast paced, non-stop thrills, I've read through three of the six books. I'd say more, but it's early in the morning and I need to work tomorrow!
The best part, he's having a sale on his books right now!
Star Carrier is a win
By any name William H Keith, Jr. writes good books. This one is written under the pen name Ian Douglas. Set in Earth's far future, this book delivers. There's lots of action, a main character with a troubled past, and a host of alien races. The alien look and think differently than humans, which makes it all the more engaging.
Lieutenant Gray is a fighter pilot with good instincts, but when the Sh'daar issue an ultimatum, he joins the space navy to protect his home world. The odds seem hopeless. What can one carrier fleet do against a galaxy wide empire? Go they will, because if they don't, humanity will become the next race in a long line to serve the alien masters.
