Original world-building and an engaging protagonist. A very slow building relationship between the two main characters, a fast pace and a well-thought out story. If you are searching for a great story and some seriously good writing, this is right for you - what you won't find is a steamy, quickly...

I thought this was a solid novel. I liked the plot line and the characters. I thought that Edie was sympathetic and understandable. The things she went through, though in the sci-fi context, were comparable to life experiences people reading this may have. The character of Finn was interesting a...

This is definitely not my genre because I'm having a hard time understanding and remembering all the scifi terms and I can't even recall the actual spelling of the heroin's status as that is driving element in the entire book. Is that cybertech or cyberteck? Oh shit.The heroin Eddie, who works for t...

Okay... I was definitely not expecting this book to be so amazing! I also have to admit that I thought there would be a lot more romance than there was.

Song of Scarabaeus is mostly science fiction with a hint of very tame and realistic romance. It was refreshing to see two people actually form an ...

When renegade mercenaries kidnap Edie, sh...

This book was okay. All the lingo got kind of confusing.

2.5 starsSong of Scarabaeus (terrible title) had a good premise and potentially entertaining romance but just never fully took off. The sci-fi world that they visited was intriguing, that being Scarabaeus, but that is a very limited time period and most of the time they spend on the ship. A ship, mi...

Fine, I'll admit it: I lost faith in the science-fiction genre. I did. Completely. Granted, I haven't read all that much science-fiction in the past two years as I may have wanted to, but the ones that I have read have been disasters of monumental proportions. As such, I was a little skeptical about...
