A fun finale to the Starlight’s Shadow series… Capture the Sun is the third, and presumably the last, in Jessie Mihalik’s Starlight’s Shadow series. And it’s a very nice finale, wrapping up the overarching Federated Human Planets (FHP)/Valovian Empire storyline, while somehow also managing a happy ending for a “new couple”, Lexi Bowen and Nilo […]

Another breakneck-paced space opera/romance from Jessie Mihalik… I’m not an author, but it has always struck me that writing the middle book in a pre-planned trilogy must be pretty hard.

Kill the Queen had me hooked from its first two sentences: “The day of the royal massacre started out like any other. With me doing something completely, utterly useless.” From this inauspicious beginning, things rapidly go even further downhill for the protagonist, Evie – officially Lady Everleigh Saffira Winter Blair, a very minor royal in

I originally saw Polaris Rising mentioned on an e-book forum, and when I checked it out online, I discovered that Ilona Andrews (whose books I always enjoy) had provided nice feedback about it. So that encouraged me to (1) buy it, and (2) move it to the top of my long to-be-read list. And then
