Last year I discovered Amy A. Bartol's writing with the first installment of her Kricket series Under Different Stars. Now, with her second installment Sea of Stars, I am once again reminded of why I enjoyed Amy's writing so much. Romance in the stars! Rivalry, action, and danger threaten all while a star-crossed romance had me gasping and swooning for more. 

Under Different Stars gave me the right combination of science fiction, action and sweet romance all wrapped-up in a dreamy cover.

The story is very easy to simply fall into, the writing quickly whisk you from Chicago, where our heroine Kricket is trying to stay under the radar from the foster care system until she turns eighteen, to the far of world off Ethar.

Unborn by Amber Lynn Natusch is the first book in her new Urban Fantasy series that mixes Greek Mythology and Angel lore with a gritty and dark urban setting of a supernaturally infested Detroit.  The story mixes characters from Greek Mythology, namely Hades, Demeter and Ares with lore of fallen angels that was interesting and a unique combination that I haven't really seen before.
