Today, I am wading out of my ARCs and into my personal library. I’ve read two of Bateman’s previous books and enjoyed them so I was pleased to see she had a new one out! Even better, this one has a female thief. Set in a fractious period of French history, our heroine made for an intriguing character.

As soon as I saw Chilling Effect advertised as a mix of Firefly and Mass Effect, I knew I had to send a review request (Thank you, Harper Voyager!). Psychic cats, pompous alien emperors, and a mysterious villainous organization wreaking havoc sounds right up my alley. I’m a huge Mass Effect fan so while reading I was reminded of my favorite parts of the game. Captain Eva could definitely have been friends with my fem-Shep. Irreverant, kick-ass, and a bit […]
