The Hunt for Red Fluffy by Angel Martinez
My rating: 
When a stray hellcat - a creature only a demon can posses - appears on the station where the Brimstone has stopped, it’s obvious to just about everyone except Shax that it’s a trap, but he takes possession of the beast anyway. Thus begins a quite literal cat and mouse game as the demon prince and his crew try to outrun and outmaneuver the criminal gang out to capture them.

Review - Jailmates by Lesli Richardson
My rating:
Warning: This is a book that’s hard to review and discuss all the interesting points it raises without giving away a little of the plot. Hopefully it’s no more than you could infer from the blurbs, but consider yourself warned. Simon is just a few days away from finishing up his five year stint in the military. He joined up to provide money to his single mother and younger sister, so he’ll need to find some other work eventually, but for now he’s just missing his family and looking forward to spending time with them.
