Review - Loving, Books 4 - 6 by M.A. Innes
My rating: 
Kevin and Jeremy are settling into the life they’ve built away from their abusive mother. Jeremy has graduated and is working full time on the business he started, which is doing well enough for the couple to consider moving to a bigger place so he will have room to work. Kevin still has a few more years of school and has yet to decide on a specific career path, but there’s still time for that.

Review - The Wizard's Apprentice by Ryan DeVry
My rating:
Callum is apprenticed to one of the most powerful wizards in the land. He cooks and cleans, plus provides “stress relief” for his master when needed. Callum especially likes the stress relief duty, but so far, he hasn’t learned to do any magic himself. When the wizard gets busy with an especially difficult project, he has little time for Callum, and things get even worse when the Wizard calls in another apprentice.

Review - Ministry of Alien Relations by Rebecca Cohen
My rating:
Devlin works for the Ministry of Alien Relations in London, a secret government office that deals with aliens from other planets. Devlin manages a team that looks after the settlement of refugees from other planets. It’s not very glamorous, but it’s less dangerous than being out in the field chasing down illegal beings from other planets. There’s a high-profile embassy from the Chroalian system visiting Earth. Normally, Devlin wouldn’t be involved in such things, but it’s the summer holidays and the ministry is short-staffed, so they’ve asked Devlin to look after the ambassador’s son, Zal.
