My latest reviews...

I read this quite a while ago, and finally reviewed it.  My final verdict - mixed feelings.  Enjoyed it, and yet there were times I was totally frustrated.  I thought some things didn't really match up.  Like the whole chemical causing weirdness and then this sudden longstanding Daughters of Saturn thing.

Pretty Sacrifices by Devin O'Branagan - a Y/A urban fantasy which deals with the aftermath of a pandemic caused by an evil corporation.  Lots of spirituality, of a variety of belief systems.  Some fun characters.  The author always includes an Australian Shepherd in all her books, which is kind of fun.  This is the second of a series.  The first book is Glory; The Legend Begins.  Glory, being the main character was the only person with the antidote in her blood for the pandemic.  After finally getting to the point where her blood is used to cure the population, this second novel deals with the aftermath.  Seems the corporation and some demons aren't quite ready to let go of their plans.  Glory tries to save her mother, her friends and ultimately the world.

That's it for now.  I'm currently reading at least two other novels.  Roil, by Trent Jamieson and In Fury Born by David Weber - a bit of a heavy duty SciFi full of descriptions, making it a bit of a slow read.  However, there is plenty of adventure in between the almost infodumps of weapons, political situations, military workings, etc.
