book cover for Bound by Destiny

Review - The Harvest Young: Bound by Destiny by M.A. Church

My rating: * * * *

This second book of The Harvest Young series picks up several years after the first book, Bound by Fate. Where Szin was the focus of the first book, his brother Raiden is at the center of this story, along with his mate Dayo. The two young mixed Tah’Narian/human males are both serving on a star ship, and now that their careers are established they’re thinking of starting a family. But a couple of seemingly inconsequential encounters on the planet Quai sets off a chain of events that may destroy the couple’s plans.

My rating: * * * * *

Many people believe that there’s someone special out there, meant just for them. Randy has believed that his whole life, perhaps more strongly than most. Only, it turns out that Randy’s soul mate is actually from another, not quite parallel, universe; one that’s been intermittently intersecting with Randy’s since just before he was born. The pursuit of his true love takes the aptly-named Randy, along with his younger brother Craig, into the other universe, and into a world very unlike Earth.

book cover for Hell to Pay

Review - Hell to Pay by Zen DiPietro

My rating: * *

Cabot Layne and his unlikely team just seem to keep getting sucked deeper into their involvement with the Planetary Alliance (PAC) as everyone seeks to avoid the impeding conflict with the invading Barony coalition. The situation makes for unlikely bedfellows, such as the PAC and notorious crime boss Ditnya Caine. While “Hell to Pay” still features the finely tuned writing of this series, it doesn’t really advance the story or the characters very far.

Review - Striker by Lexi Ander

My rating: * * * * *
