Going out with a bang (in more ways than one)

Dance with the Devil by Kit Rocha

January 27, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

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 […]

Adventures (and prophecies) through space and time.

The Principle of Moments (The Order of Legends, #1) by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson

January 27, 2024 by narfna Leave a Comment

I’m glad that my DNFing of a book I thought was terrible only thirty pages in led to me picking this book up much, much sooner than I would have otherwise, because I really enjoyed myself, despite some nitpicks I have with this, mostly to do with the author being a debut author, and an extremely young one. Overall, she feels like an author who could have some really, truly great books down the line. This book, which the author started writing when she was […]

A bridging book, but a really good one

The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha

January 27, 2024 by Malin Leave a Comment

She used to work for one of the Vice Presidents of TechCorps who was secretly orchestrating a rebellion, However, her boss (also the only maternal figure Maya ever knew) was caught and executed, and Maya […]

Ethical Murderers

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

January 22, 2024 by NatalieH 5 Comments

I picked up Scythe on a whim in a New Year’s sale – my local bookstore had a “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” table and I vaguely remember (it was a long time ago!) enjoying a previous book by the author, Neal Shusterman, so ended up picking this book as my “free” book. This was my first read of this year and also my first Cannonball read book review! I have been lurking for a while but decided to “take the plunge” this year (we’re […]

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Vol. 1 - Aphra by Kieron Gillen

January 21, 2024 by dreadpiratekel Leave a Comment

When I think of Star Wars, I think of space, lightsabers, and Darth Vader. I know some of the various versions of the Star Wars universe have dealt with the history of said universe, but I think of Star Wars as the future (even if it was in a galaxy a long time ago). This is why it was fun to read about Doctor Aphra in the first volume (collecting issues #1-6) of the graphic novel series that bears her name. She is a Star […]

My Murder: spoilers at the end of review

My Murder by Katie Williams

January 21, 2024 by donttrustthe_bea 4 Comments

mood music: invasion – Eisley My Murder is a fast-paced, science fiction mystery that immediatley drew me in. I was not familiar with the author, Katie Williams, before picking this up but I will continue to read her work as I enjoyed this novel with the exception of the ending. And the ending wasn’t necessarily bad, I just think it could have been better. I will be including spoilers at the end of this review, but the majority of this will be a brief synopsis and […]
