Review - The Prince's Frog by Eden Winters
My rating: 
Prince Bob - his full name is one of the reasons this is a novella and not a short story - has a problem. His parents want to marry him off to the princess of a neighboring kingdom. Bob dislikes the demanding young woman. Actually, everybody does, but they're too afraid to say so. To make matters worse, Bob doesn't really like women. He would much prefer the company of the blacksmith, or the jousting team.

Review - Rembrandt's Station by Christie Meierz
My rating:
Albert St. John Rembrandt is just “Bertie” to most people. He comes from one of the richest families in the six worlds occupied by humans. However, he was disowned by his father, the Duke, for refusing to marry a prince who preferred women. Bertie is now the Stationmaster for Tolari Station. The Tolari were humans, once, but were taken from the earth by aliens who made genetic modifications so they could survive on a planet rich in toxic heavy metals.

Review - Priest and Pariahs by J. Alan Veerkamp
My rating:
Priest is the chief pilot of the Santa Claus and rather enjoys his reputation as one of the ship's bad boys. His schemes aren't always well thought-out, and when he gets caught, he takes his punishment with good humor. Costa is a “para-human,” a genetic mutation that emerged on earth and gave those with it some extraordinary powers. Para-humans sparked fear in “normal” people. They were soon seen as less-than-human, and either enslaved or locked away in special prisons that could control their powers.

Tyler has been held in jail for a week without seeing a judge. He's not sure why he was arrested in the first place since he had nothing to do with the fire at a jewelry store where he was dumpster diving.

Review - Historic Ember by Meraki P. Lyhne
My rating:
Kindly note: This series is very much meant to be read in order. If you haven't yet read the previous books of this series, this review may contain spoilers about how they turn out. Now that it's clear that Matt/Sköll, along with the other three Alphas of All, have risen to meet the threat from Völsung, the young man wants to learn more about the history of the Vargr, Cubi, and Sleipnir and how they came to be allies along with the humans.
Review - The Alien Infiltrator by Eryn Ivers
My rating:
Sebastian is the nearly perfect spy. He's a torvar, a symbiotic (or parasitic, according to some) worm-like creature that can take over humanoid bodies. He can infiltrate the enemy and wreak havoc. This makes him one of the resistance's most potent weapons. That doesn't seem to prevent some of the fighters from hating Sebastian for what he is, and that apparently includes their leader, Leon Hess. Leon doesn't really hate Sebastian.
