Excavating Fate by Andrea Franco-Cook (Book Review #2294)
Excavating Fate by Andrea Franco-Cook is a thrilling and imaginative journey that seamlessly blends historical adventure, fantasy, and high-stakes time-bending drama. The story follows nineteen-year-old Amara, whose dreams of an archaeological internship in Tunisia quickly spiral into chaos when she is transported into an alternate version of ancient Carthage—a world where magic is real, warring factions battle for dominance, and mythical beings roam freely. Franco-Cook crafts a richly detailed world that balances historical authenticity with fantastical elements, immersing readers in a Carthage that feels both real and otherworldly.

Read MoreAfter the Before by Ernie Gammage (Book Review #2291)
After the Before by Ernie Gammage is a taut and imaginative post-apocalyptic adventure that balances relentless action with deep emotional stakes. At just over 42,000 words, it’s a lean, gripping story that wastes no time plunging readers into its world: a desolate wasteland ruled by the terrifying A-Eye—machines with a grotesque hunger for human flesh.
Read MorePlayers Paradox by Grace Sargeant (Book Review #2290)
In her novel Players Paradox, Grace Sargeant takes a comedic, fast-paced approach to romance while examining the interplay of love, loyalty, and the often complex games people play in relationships. Set against the backdrop of relationship strategist Maxi Marsden, the story addresses ethical dilemmas, emotional manipulation, and the blurred boundaries between strategy and authentic emotional connection. Sargeant expertly brings together romance with psychological insight, leaving readers enthralled from the moment Maxi meets charming Victor.
Read MoreThe Scion Conspiracy by Mike Cahoon (Book Review #2289)
Mike Cahoon’s The Scion Conspiracy follows Cassius Roth, an impulsive prince of the Federation battling against the expectations placed upon him by his father and the pressure to live up to royal standards. The novel similarly uses Cassius as a flawed hero, a lens through which the reader can view themes of rebellion, power, and the costs of being honorable. Therefore, from the outset, Cahoon deliberately placed Cassius in a position where his refusal to submit to his father’s will set in motion a series of events that affect multiple kingdoms.
Read MoreThe Front Step by Roly Andrews (Book Review #2288)

These thirty illustrated stories—twenty-one of which are immediately recognisable to international audiences—are filled with astonishing insights, humour and an emotional backbone that doesn’t disappear overnight. The readers will note that Roly Andrews has an incredibly gifted, witty and gentle voice.
Read MoreSons of Dracula by Ovidiu Damian (Book Review #2287)
The novel Sons of Dracula, written by Ovidiu Damian, is a haunting retelling of one of literature’s greatest myths. It blends the elements of folklore, history, and fantasy into a sweeping narrative surrounding destiny and self-discovery. However, rather than looking at the archetype of Dracula that we are all familiar with —the stereotyped vampire — Damian instead asks the provocative question, What if?
Read MoreAstra by Kim Idynne (Book Review #2286)
Astra is a paranormal fiction novel written by Kim Idynne. It is about the intersection of monsters as opposed to monastics, and the struggle to find one’s own way between temptation and danger. The main character, Elias, lives in a duality; he is caught between two worlds, one corporeal and one ethereal, and he must learn to balance them as well as protect himself from dangerous monsters, including a vampire and a werewolf, to whom his roommate, Leitha, has returned home.
