Status: WIP Rating: Everyone Warnings: Mental illnesses (ex. anxiety and depression) are a major theme. Link: Comet Summary: Comet is about several anxious nerds who flee their homeworlds in search of greener pastures but end up in heaps of trouble instead. It’s about saving the universe, healthy ways of dealing with illnesses, and friendship. Most of the cast is LGBT+. They’re aliens. Review: i-it’s mine so i don’t think i should review it but it’s pretty decent i think/feel/hope.

Rec: Blue on Black

Title: Blue on Black Author: Carole Cummings Format: Novel Published/Free: Published Length: 380 pages Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: non-con (not between main pairing), mind control, violence, slavery through debts Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25654472-blue-on-black Summary: Bas is a Directorate Tracker on the trail of Baron Petra Stanslo, a megalomaniac and ruler of a little desert barony on the edge of nowhere. Techs tend to die and disappear around Baron Stanslo, and the latest one is Kimolija Adani–Class 2 gridTech, beloved brother, most promising student the Academy’s ever had the privilege of calling their own, genius mechanical gridstream engineer, brilliantly pioneering inventor. A dead man Bas has definitely not fallen in love with through his diaries and work.

For almost three years, Bas has tried to find a way into Stanslo’s Bridge, and when he finally makes it, shock is too small a word for what—or, rather, whom—he finds there.

Review: I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I’ve read Cumming’s other works before, specifically her Wolf’s Own series, and though I didn’t mind it, I certainly didn’t love the books. Maybe it’s the subject matter and the genre that caught my attention. It’s a Wild West Punk with psychics, and my god I did not know I needed that in my life until now.

The romance is slow, and the plot is convoluted, and Cummings does an excellent job of weaving it all together. I love reading about Bas contending with his feelings for Kimo, whatever they might be, while dealing with Stanslo’s particular brand of insanity. Not to mention that everyone seems to have their own agendas, and he’s not sure who to trust. On that note, the secondary characters really stood and I would have loved to read a number of backstories about any of them. Even the most villainous of character were fascinating in their own right, even if sometimes that fascination is laced with disgust.

I really enjoyed the worldbuild, and how it’s revealed bit by bit, rather than in episodes of massive info dumps. It felt natural, the way the information is given to the readers. Not to mention Bas is a hilarious character in his own head, whose love for being a hero battles constantly with his survival instincts and common sense.

That said, the story doesn’t pull punches when it comes to the violence either, which might not be to everyone’s taste. And admittedly, the slow start can be a bit of a slog to get through, and Cummings is not kind with explanations but it’s worth it for the story that unfolds.

Rec: D.E.B.S.

Title: D.E.B.S. Author: Angela Robinson Format: Film Published/Free: Published Length: 91 minutes Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: Homophobia Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIWrGxawS7E (trailer) Summary: Recruited by the U.S. government for their unique ability to lie, cheat and fight, Amy, Max, Janet and Dominique join an underground academy of secret agents known only as D.E.B.S. These crime fighting hotties set out to save the world and keep their lipstick perfectly applied while doing so. Now the girls must combine their skills for their most important mission- to capture vexing vixen Lucy Diamond, the deadliest criminal the world has ever known. When D.E.B.S. star player, Amy, falls for Lucy, chaos erupts and the D.E.B.S. loyalty is put to the test. Review: This movie is so much fun! It’s campy and rom-com-y with a pretty excellent meet-cute. Like, definitely don’t go into this expecting high production values anything, but do go into this expecting excellent chemistry between all the actors, not just the leads. (Though the leads do have great chemistry! Like really…. really great chemistry.) The main cast is great, the supporting cast is also great, and while the premise is the height of cartoon-y camp, the interpersonal conflicts rising out of it are realistic and treated seriously. It’s just a really fun movie to watch, and it leaves me feeling happy and light-hearted every time.

Rec: The NARC Series

Title: The NARC Series Author: Mel Keegan Format: Series Published/Free: Published Length: 5 novels Status: Complete Rating: mature Warnings: Drug use, torture, adult themes Link: http://bookworld.editme.com/MelKeeganBooklist Summary: On the high-tech worlds of the 23rd Century, the lethal designer drug Angel has become an epidemic disease. Kevin Jarrat and Jerry Stone are joint captains in the paramilitary NARC force sent to combat the Death's Head drug syndicate that controls the vast spaceport city of Chell. Under the NARC code of non-involvement each of the two friends hides his deeper desire for the other. When Stone is captured on the urban battlefield and forced into Angel addiction, Jarrat's love for him is his only chance for survival ... but the price is that their minds will remain permanently linked in an empathic bonding. Review: These novels are GLBT scifi military with drug lords and crime syndicates. Keegan's world building, plotting and characters are all compelling. Probably the only criticism is that he tends to be a bit wordy at times. Sorry, I can't seem to find the words to do these novels justice. If scifi isn't your thing then he has a number of other novels in different genre's i.e. fantasy, contemporary, etc. Basically I really like these novels and have reread them a lot. I hope someone here will get some enjoyment out of them too. The books are 1) Death's Head, 2) Equinox, 3) Scorpio, 4) Stopover & 5) Aphelion (Original Post)

Rec: Do Over

Rec: The Thief and The Commander

Title: The Thief and The Commander Author: manicdak Format: Novel Published/Free: Free Length: 55k Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: Language, character death Link: http://manicdak.dreamwidth.org/211916.html Summary: The Inter-Galactic Action Squad is the first line of defense from the galaxies' worst criminals. Ehrenfried Behrendt only joined to improve his CV. Robin Grey just wanted to keep his career from sliding further into the gutter. But even the best laid plans can go awry when what started out as an escape ends with an assassination. Review: Hmmm, so I found this story via a Big Bang, and was a little hesitant to read it cos I find sci-fi too limiting. There's usually all this techno mumbo jumbo and new jargon to get your head around. But I was bored, so I figured why not give it a go. And hooooooooly crap. It's awesome. It's got character development! It's got plot! It has time travel! It's got characters you want to simultaneously smack and hug. It starts off a bit slow in the first couple of chapters, and it might take equally long to ground yourself, figure out who's who and what to who, but once that's out of the way, it's just convoluted plot and convoluted relationships that are all tied up neatly in the end.

Rec: In the Company of Shadows

Title: In the Company of Shadows Author: Sonny & Ais Format: Series of novels Published/Free: Free Length: Four huge novels Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Noncon, dubcon, forced drug use, sexual slavery, torture, violence Link: www.aisylum.com/sonnyais/icos/story.html Summary: Years after the bombs of WWIII have changed the physical and political landscape, the Agency ruthlessly works behind the scenes to take down rebel groups that threaten the current government. Their goals justify all means. Hsin Liu Vega (Sin) is their most efficient and deadly assassin ever. However, he tends to go off on unauthorized killing sprees and somehow his assigned partners all end up dead under suspicious circumstances. That is why the Agency has had him locked up in a box on the fourth floor for years. But now they think it is time to put the psychopath back in the field. With a new partner. Boyd's mother, a high ranking Agency official, volunteers her teenage son for the position. Boyd is not afraid of death. In fact, his life has been such an endless cycle of apathy and despair for the last few years that he'd welcome it. Can these two broken men form an efficient partnership? Can they learn to trust anyone, let alone each other? Sin doesn't give a fuck about the Agency, or the androgynous boy who holds the remote to the shock collar that is supposed to control him. On the other hand, Boyd is strangely unafraid of the man everyone calls 'monster' and Sin seems reluctant to let his keeper get himself killed on any missions. Yet. Review: Pure angst with angst, angst and a tiny bit more angst. But other than that this story is pure brilliance. It is set in a futuristic world post-nuclear war and the main characters Boyd and Sin are operatives for something called the Agency. They kill people, blow stuff up and generally have a smashing time. Did I forget to mention that Sin is insane, sociopathic and a serial killer? Or that Boyd is emotionally crippled and socially retarded? Come on, read it, you know you want to...
