Grace Bishop has been a PI ever since a tragic accident. A friend who works with street kids seeks out her help when several of his "girls" go missing. With the help of her unusual brother, Danny, an old friend from the force, and new allies with more than parlor tricks up their sleeves, Gracie must track down and stop the monster responsible for the terror that goes unnoticed on the city streets.

I enjoyed many, but not all of the stories. I found myself pulled into several, and awkwardly watching from the outside on others. Not every story will please everyone, but I'm confident some stories will grab your attention.

Charlene "Charlie" Hartley is about to graduate High School and go off to college when her secret catches the attention of a young A.N.D.R.E.I. operative with a special ability of her own.

When Charlie learns she's not only adopted, but she may have a twin sister working for A.N.D.R.E.I., she walks away from her path to Harvard to develop her powers and reunite with the family she's never known. 

The Annual Writers of the Future Anthology never ceases to deliver amazing stories from new talent.

Having received an Honorable Mention myself for a submission this last year, I don't envy the judges their task of sifting through thousands of entries each quarter to select the top twelve. 

The Cover gives away the overall flavor of the collection and It's pretty fantastic!

Yesterday's Thief by Al Macy caught me by surprise. I've not read too many Supernatural PI novels, but I enjoyed the added SciFi spin Al Macy put on his.

Eric Beckman uses his unique talent to solve cases that leave the cops stumped by picking up on leads no one else can access. When a beautiful woman inexplicably materializes at home plate in the middle of a baseball game, Eric's career follows a new course that will change his world in more ways than one.

Death Becomes Her by Michael Anderle has good writing, but I just didn't feel invested in the plot or characters enough to read past the first 10%. Maybe you'll like it better!

I first became aware of Seeking Incandescence by Krsten Flood after becoming acquainted with the author, Kristen Flood, on Twitter. The description, highlighting three separate protagonists, intrigued me. So, I downloaded a copy and started reading.

I'm no expert. So, this review is just one aspiring writer's opinion. Take it with a healthy dose of metaphorical salt.

I first came across The Fray Theory: Resonance by Nelou Keramati while browsing the giveaways under science fiction. The beautifully illustrated cover art caught my eye, and I became more impressed learning the author drew it herself.  ​​The cover art style lends to a cross between 1960’s espionage and a modern anime love triangle. The author offered an ARC in return for an honest review. Being an author looking for reviews myself, I thought I’d pay it forward and take her up on the offer.
