Review Titles

A small selection of review books this week, with thanks to Flame Tree Press, Other Worlds Ink, and Eden Redd.

Your Turn to Suffer is the latest by Tim Waggoner, a story of one woman determined to get her life back ...

Lorelei Palumbo is harassed by a sinister group calling themselves The Cabal. 

They accuse her of having committed unspeakable crimes in the past, and now she must pay. 

The Cabal begins taking her life apart one piece at a time – her job, her health, the people she loves – and she must try to figure out what The Cabal thinks she’s done if she’s to have any hope of answering their charges and salvaging her life.

Blood Moon by Catherine Lundoff is the sequel to Silver Moon, her menopausal werewolves novel, and it picks up where that left off...

The Wolf’s Point werewolf pack, born from the magic that calls small groups of middle-aged women to embrace their inner and outer wolves, has been protecting the town for generations. Now Becca Thornton and the Pack have their hands (and paws) full of all the trouble they can handle. Plus a bit extra. Pack member Erin Adams just found a dead body in the trunk of her car and confessed to murder. But no one’s sure who the victim is and Erin can’t remember what happened. Did Erin fall off the wagon and murder a former foe? She doesn’t trust herself and Becca’s beginning to have her doubts.

If that wasn’t enough, Becca’s ex-husband sold their old house and their new neighbors are clearly up to something. Can the Pack get the mystery solved and Erin’s name cleared before the next full moon? Or do the town’s new residents have other plans?

Lewdmancy is the latest from Eden Redd, a story that's dripping with sex and adventure...

No official blurb yet, but here's what she had to say in her post to The Redd Light District, her ARC group:

Lewdmancy is like my earlier works. A tale of a young, bi-sexual witch who discovers and chases after primal sex magic. There is a lot going on in the story. It's dripping with sex and adventure. 

There are new and intimate friendships and a secret underworld of those who follow a goddess that would make Vala blush.

It's not gamelit or standard harem. It is more of a poly-amorous harem with Emma as the leader.

Lead Gilded Delights by Leina Kedi is about a young woman who finds the world changing rapidly around her....

When Emily Grey fails her exams at the end of her first year at university, she starts to worry that her easy-going approach to life may have laid waste to her plans for her future. But then she receives a letter telling her of a new scheme in which she will be given a second chance. This second chance, however, comes at a price - a price at once painful, humiliating and shockingly arousing.

The world around Emily is changing rapidly, and new notions about discipline are being quietly introduced without most people even being aware of them.

We follow Emily through this severe new world as she learns to navigate its humiliations, its hardships and its fascinating delights.

New Acquisitions: Paperback Treasures

Just one new arrival in the mailbox this week, a Women in Horror pick that I've been intending to read for far too long - Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant!

The ocean is home to many myths,

But some are deadly. . .

Seven years ago the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a mockumentary bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a tragedy.

Now a new crew has been assembled. But this time they're not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life's work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost.

Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the waves.

But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

New Acquisitions: Digital Titles

Just a pair of downloads this week...

Boundary by Eric Flint & Ryk E. Spoor is the story of  Dr. Helen Sutter, mild-mannered paleontologist, whose discovery of an impossible fossil will take her all the way to Mars!
