Review: Hellbound Guilds & Other Misdirections by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen

Hellbound Guilds & Other Misdirections (The Guild Codex: Warped #2) by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Urban Fantasy Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: Agent Kit Morris.

Review: Of Kindness and Kilowatts by Susan Kaye Quinn

Of Kindness and Kilowatts (Nothing is Promised #3) by Susan Kaye Quinn My Rating: 3 stars Genre: Science Fiction/ Hopepunk Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: Humanity is trapped in a loop. As the world heats, it takes more energy to keep humanity from dying—a feedback loop that makes net-zero carbon increasingly impossible to reach. Akemi’s job on the Public Utilities Commission has its own daily disasters—making sure the infrastructure of civilization keeps running is the most thankless job on the planet. When a double event hits—heatwave plus viral breakout—keeping the power on is an all-out battle. It […]
