Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord.

Rot in The Sheltered Lands is being spread by the regents who took control after Zanya murdered the evil king.

4.5 stars After his father died, Rafael “Rafe” Morales basically sold himself to TechCorps and agreed to become a technologically enhanced supersoldier, so he could make enough money to keep his widowed mother and younger siblings safe. He didn’t really know what signing away his life would entail, and given the choice again, he probably would have chosen differently. He hasn’t been able to see them for years, certainly not since he and his team, the Silver Devils, had to fake their own deaths to […]

A bridging book, but a really good one
