Patient Zero (Joe Ledger #1) by Jonathan Maberry ★★★★☆

A romantic moonlit scene combined with a zombie movie a man kisses a woman while shooting a zombie
Joe Ledger is the James Bond of zombie slayers. This book was well paced, action packed, and sometimes funny - in short, this was an entertaining action movie of a book!

New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson ★★★★★

Blue white and black graphic image of a woman proudly walking with a cityscape background the caption reads I am in the world to change the world
“If our government tries to back the banks instead of us, then we elect a different government. We pretend that democracy is real, and that will make it real.” 

Substantially better upon reread! I loved it, I had fun, it did not even feel long! 

The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman ★★★★☆

A man in a suite faces away from the camera toward a hallway with a long knife held behind his back
"All you need to know is that you cannot trust me." 

These are true words, heed them. All the warnings on the first page were true.

32 Fangs (Laura Caxton #5) by David Wellington ★★★☆☆

A close up of a red eyed woman with the caption She's laid the perfect trap hasn't she? And she knows I'll not resist it.  What skill she has for this game I think I love her in my own horrible way

And so ends a great horror vampire series. 

23 Hours (Laura Caxton #4) by David Wellington ★★☆☆☆

Amazing profile closeup of a woman with huge long fangs splattered with blood
"The teeth seem to spread outward, to grow even larger, to grow even in number. Malvern’s grin could draw blood all on its own."

A black and white photograph of a woman pointing a gun at the camera her face is out of focus
“It was over.
Nothing was over.” 

99 Coffins (Laura Caxton #2) by David Wellington ★★★★☆

Long haired brunette backlit pointing a gun at the camera her face is impossible to see

13 Bullets (Laura Caxton #1) by David Wellington ★★★★★

Vicious back and white photo of a vampire female in full mouth snarl blood dripping from her mouth with lit candles and skull in the background
“Evil is never satisfied. Evil has no ending, no bottom.” 

Walkaway by Cory Doctorow ★★★★★

Rendered image of a solarpunk city where roads are converted into walking and growing areas you can see greenhouses wind generators silos and everything is green
“We’re not doing nations anymore. We’re doing people, doing stuff. Nations mean governments, passports, borders.” 

Seascape by Stephanie Burke ★★★★☆

Photograph of a handsome merman with reddish tale seated a log at the beach basking in the sun
This was my first merman erotica!
