Review - Junk by Josephine Myles
My rating: 
Jasper needs help. He’s willing to admit that now. His compulsion to collect books, including ones he never plans to read, has turned his home into an unlivable space, with almost every room filled with stacks of books, some to the point of being inaccessible. Jasper calls in a team to help him figure out how to deal with his problem. Lewis and his sister have their own little business helping hoarders work out their issues and reclaim their living space.

Arkadii has had to stand watch over the man he loves while Dima descends into madness under the pressure that tradition says the kings of Voronezh must bear alone.

Review - Geoffrey the Very Strange by Angel Martinez
My rating:
Aspic recently moved to Merseton where he works in the local herb shop. He’s suddenly alone at the counter one day when Geoffrey the Very Strange walks in the door. That’s not his real full name, but it’s what everyone in the village calls him. Geoffrey may be odd, with his attempt to practice necromancy without blood magic, but there’s something Aspic finds endearing about the young man. Geoffrey also finds the pink-haired half demon alarmingly attractive, but necromancers don’t have friends, let alone boyfriends.

Review - The Phantom by AJ Rose
My rating:
Tracey is recovering from his gunshot wound at Jon’s house. It’s convenient, since there are fewer stairs to negotiate and Jon can take him to and from work, since the injury prevents Tracey from driving. It’s also given the two time to get to know each other, but for Tracey it’s starting to feel like too much, too soon. Personal conflicts end up taking a back seat when a new murder in the DC area finally confirms the team’s suspicion that a serial killer is targeting gay men in several cities.

Review - My Little Human by M.A. Innes
My rating:
Dane is a “little” in search of a dominant daddy to take care of him. He hasn’t been having much luck. At a munch for others with a similar kink, it’s all straight people. But then Dane is approached by Wright, one of the tentacled aliens that have come to earth.
