Book Review: Four Dead Queens

Thursday, August 2, 2018 by Sabrina Ricci

Note: I don’t really review books anymore, but I loved Four Dead Queens so much that I had to share it here. I received an uncorrected galley of Four Dead Queens (out on February 26, 2019), and I have to be honest, I’ve been waiting to read this for over a year (after I first heard about it when Astrid Scholte got into Pitch Wars). (Potential spoilers below.) It did not … [Read more...] about Book Review: Four Dead Queens

Ebook Review: SMART Social Media For Authors

Monday, April 30, 2018 by Sabrina Ricci

It’s rare when I’m reading a book do I find myself taking notes. But Chris Syme’s SMART Social Media For Authors is packed with so much useful, actionable information, that I couldn’t help myself. The book is both a guide and a resource. Chris gives examples of other sites to check out, as well as handy explanations of some of the social media platforms, so that authors can … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: SMART Social Media For Authors

So many wonderful authors, publishers, and people just interested in the book industry have written numerous guides, case studies, and resources to help others interested in writing and publishing. Sometimes the best way to share resources is via lists, like my post 7 Strategies and 110 Tools to Help Indie Authors Find Readers and Reviewers.

Black Bead by J.D. Lakey is the first book in her series, the Black Bead Chronicles. The story takes place in an outlying planet where a colony of humans live in a matriarchal society. The women in this society have telepathic, psi, powers. They live in a dome, to protect themselves from the vicious animals that live on their planet.

Ebook Review: Two Wrongs

Monday, May 23, 2016 by Sabrina Ricci

As someone unfamiliar with the Jean-Jacques (JJ) Stoner series, Two Wrongs by Frank Westworth seemed to start a little too fast. Granted, it is a short story so I expected the plot to be condensed, but the story felt a bit unfinished at the end. Two Wrongs starts in the past with a married woman and a Navy man about to embark on a sizzling affair. The first few pages are … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Two Wrongs

Ebook Review: The Marvelous Neverland of Oz

Thursday, April 28, 2016 by Sabrina Ricci

Ron Glick’s Oz-Wonderland world has expanded now to include Neverland, and with the introduction of this new land comes a teaser about other lands we can expect to read about in later books. I don’t want to spoil the plot or give away any of the twists, but I’m sure Dorothy, Alice, and now Peter Pan will be traveling to new lands in later books, and I’m excited to read Ron … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: The Marvelous Neverland of Oz

Ebook Review: Flash Crash

Thursday, April 14, 2016 by Sabrina Ricci

Poor David Belov. He grew up in a rough neighborhood in New York, lost his father at an early age due to suspicious circumstances, and now has to work long hours and weekends to keep his job as a programmer at Montgomery Noyes, an investment bank in Manhattan. But even though he works so hard, he still is only paid a fraction of what his co-workers earn. Yet somehow David … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Flash Crash

Ebook Review: Consequence

Thursday, December 10, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

If you want to gain insight into the life of an activist, then Steve Masover’s first novel, Consequence, is for you. Steve Masover has characterized his novel as pre-apocalyptic, but it could also be described as a political thriller. The story revolves around Christopher Kalman, an activist in the San Francisco Bay Area who is looking for a way to make his contributions … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Consequence

Ebook Review: Aquarius Rising

Monday, October 19, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

Aquarius Rising by Christopher John Chater is a captivating thriller. The story revolves around Nick Fellows, a man who is recently recovering from a mid-life crisis, triggered by the death of his mother. In the last year, he quits his job at a large architecture firm, divorces his wife, and gives up all his possessions to live with his dad while he finds himself. He … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Aquarius Rising

Ebook Review: Three (Book 3 of The Godslayer Cycle)

Thursday, October 1, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

There is a long wait in between books for each of Ron Glick’s series, but each time so far, the wait has been worth it. Three is no exception. The aptly named third book in the Godslayer Cycle series picks right up where Two left off, with some background information to refresh the reader’s memory. Nathaniel Goodsmith is back home in Oaken Wood, along with the dwarf Bracken … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Three (Book 3 of The Godslayer Cycle)

Ebook Review: Chaos Company

Thursday, September 17, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

Chaos Company by Christopher Slayton is one of the most action-packed books I have ever read. The story follows a company of five genetically enhanced soldiers (Lieutenant Tyler Young, Sergeant Cameron Wilson, Specialist Vincent Lockhart, Private First Class Anna Young, Tyler’s sister, and Private First Class Desmond Striker) who work together on special projects, protecting … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Chaos Company

Ebook Review: Creeping Beath

Thursday, July 23, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

I’m so happy that Matt Pike decided to write this series. In the fourth book of the series, Zombie RiZing: Creeping Beath, the story picks up right where it left off. Beath and the gang are driving through the city, trying to steer clear of grunts (zombies), giants, and other creatures as they make their way to the shopping mall for supplies. The poor kids, plus Ms. … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Creeping Beath

Ebook Review: My Life As A Sperm

Monday, June 29, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

At first, My Life As A Sperm: One Man’s Quest to Save the World sounds…well you know how it sounds. But the author William Darrah Whitaker weaves an entertaining, action-packed, humorous tale of Hollywood agent Buddy Price meeting God after a car crash and being tasked with saving the world—and soon. Buddy Price is an outspoken, sarcastic agent who is used to looking out for … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: My Life As A Sperm

Ebook Review: Life and Beath

Thursday, June 11, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

Matt Pike is on a roll. He’s churning out books on a regular basis, and so far they’ve all been so good whenever I pick one up I can’t stop reading until I finish. Life and Beath gives some of the back story of Zhang, or Z-Hang, a plucky girl who has the power to move objects, and grunts (a.k.a zombies) from far away, using hand gestures. Without giving too much away, poor … [Read more...] about Ebook Review: Life and Beath
