Hotel Limbo Vol 1

A weird heartwarming story about dead people

Hotel Limbo V01 by Ben Harel

August 1, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Okay, Hotel Limbo V01 by Ben Harel….  What the h-e-double hockey sticks did I read? This is one confusing, wild, unusual and crazy book. In other words, it is a must read. Okay, readers. I cannot tell you the story. Sure I can but it then tells you everything you would experience and honestly you should go into this book with no preconceptions other than that it is a journey and experience. But I will say we deal with death. Except it’s funny. Until it […]

Stolen in Death by J.D. Robb

Stolen in Death by J.D. Robb

July 29, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Not a bad installment to the “In Death” series. This honestly gets four stars since there was less what I call aggravations in this one. Plus, this one had a call back to a previous book, Innocent in Death. There are some loose ends in this long running series, so it was nice to get something nice and tidied away. Though I still call BS that no one out there is ever going to call Roarke out on the things he got up to when […]

A Tech Take On the Wild Swans

Spinning Starlight by R. C. Lewis

July 26, 2026 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Liddi Jantzen has lived her whole life in the spotlight.  The youngest of the Jantzen siblings and the heir to the Jantzen technology company, Liddi has always felt inadequate compared to her brothers.  When masked men break into her home, she assumes that they’re the typical papazzi.  At least until they start shooting.  Liddi’s escape reveals her brothers are missing, and a betrayal from someone she trusted leaves her implanted with a device that could kill her brothers if she speaks.  Which means even when […]

Stitching Snow by R. C. Lewis

July 26, 2026 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Essie has been scraping by in the frozen mining communities of Thanda with her talent for “stitching” computer programs and winning fights.  When an offworld shuttle crashes nearby, Essie finds herself both working on repairs and establishing a tentative friendship with the pilot, Dane.  But Dane brings with him connections to the past that Essie ran from years ago.  Forced to confront both her past as well as choices about what sort of future she wants, Essie will have to decide who she trusts and […]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman

July 23, 2026 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Joker (Carl is chaos personified) Quote: “That’s the problem with hitting the elites financially. Every time you hurt one, all it does is make another richer. That won’t stop until the baskets overflow with their godsdamned heads.” Throughout the series, the beginnings of the new novels and floors have tended to act as resets and completely shift the tone. Book 3 went from everyone working together at the end of the Iron Tangle to being separated for the Bubbles; Book 5 to Book […]

Justice for Wrongs Done

Soul Machine by Jordana Globerman

July 23, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There are bumps in the actual story arc of Soul Machine by Jordana Globerman. It feels as if this was book two or there was some sort of introduction in a previous book. We are never truly told what The Soul is (outside of assuming it is one’s “spiritual” soul), what the machine our cast of character use actually does, who are the customers of the company (outside of people, but why do they need them is not explained) and the characters, especially their backgrounds, […]

    I don't remember much about this book, and I do not remember a Choose Your Own Adventure section at all!...
