Shooting Scars by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this follow up to Sins & Needles & I fully admit that I've pre-ordered the final installment Bold Tricks already. Yes, it was that good.
Picking up where we left off in Sins & Needles, the action rolls on as Ellie has left with Javier to save Camden, his ex-wife Sofia & their son, Ben. I already felt all was not well because I...

The Observers by John Scalzi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tuffy caused all sorts of commotion in this installment. I'm pretty sure that Waverly should consider leaving her dog at home instead of taking him with her on diplomatic assignments in future. Wilson & Schmidt didn't disappoint here with their light banter. And I loved the whole bit about the kingflower. I look forward to the next part, of course.

The Back Channel by John Scalzi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Back Channel is put to very good use by Conclave representative Sorvalh (at the behest of General Gau) to deal with another wildcat colony. No spoilers but her interaction with Rigney was very well done & I look forward to seeing them chat again in future. Also, it was nice to know Sorvalh likes churros & felt badly about the goat. lol...
