Capture the Sun by Jessie Mihalik
Lexi Bowen doesn’t trust easily which has served her well in her line of work. She’s been betrayed enough times to know she can count on herself and her crew, and that’s about it. The last thing she wants to do is work with Nilo Shoren, the teleported who stole her job the first time they met. But when Tavi and the rest of the crew go missing, the two will have to work together in order to rescue them and keep another war from […]
Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mihalik
I have had a really rough end of last year/beginning of this year with reading. Probably in part due to the state of everything (gestures at the world at large), so I’m starting my year by finishing up a number of books I started in 2024. I’ve also started a project that I hope will help me get back into reading. It’s a book blanket where each square matches the colors of the cover of a book I’ve read this year. I’m hoping the project […]
Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik
Captain Tavi Zarola does her best to keep her crew fed and her ship in working condition, but sometimes jobs are thin on the ground. Which means she’s not in a position to turn down an extremely lucrative job, even it comes from General Torran Fletcher, who was on the opposite side of the war. It certainly doesn’t help that Fletcher insists on accompanying Tavi’s crew along with his own team. The war might be over, but it left scars on both sides. But as […]
Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik
I received this book from the marvelous @teresaelectro as part of the 2022 Cannonball Read Book Exchange. Let me start by saying this book was simply a ton of fun. Captain Tavi Zarola is a former military captain who runs a small bounty-hunting crew. Though the massive inter-galactic war between the humans and the Valovians is over, tensions are still high. There’s peace in the galaxy, but it is precarious. Maintaining that peace is what is on Tavi’s mind when she is approached by the […]

Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik
I’ve heard only great things about Jessie Mihalik’s books from Cannonball Read. I already had Polaris Rising on my shelf, but I read Hunt the Stars first. Since it was selected by The Ripped Bodice’s fantasy romance book club, it got moved into the rotation. The first Starlight’s Shadow book introduces us to Tavi and her space crew. They are space war veterans who use their skills now as bounty hunters. The war may be over with the Valoffs. However, most humans don’t trust this […]
Eclipse the Moon by Jessie Mihalik
This series continues to bring me an infinite amount of joy with the romance and brings such great tension with the politics and power moves going on in the periphery. Only thing I don’t like is now I have to wait for the next book!! I love how Eclipse the Moon continues Starlight’s Shadow series, and especially Kee. She is one of my favorite characters, and I see so many pieces of myself in how she needs reminders to change tasks and worries about coming […]
