Goodreads Synopsis:
Lynn Hana Alexander is a 25-year-old Japanese American shape-shifter haunted by guilt. She’s been questioning herself and her dragon abilities ever since she failed to save her grandmother.
When her best friend is threatened by mysterious fires burning up acres of West Texas, Lynn rushes to the rescue determined not to fail again. However, with a tempting firefighter, a flirty city developer and dragon pheromones distracting her, how is she going to find the arsonist?
And worse: is her primary suspect a malicious rogue dragon or the love of her life?
Goodreads Synopsis:
When out-of-shape IT technician Roen woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it.
He wasn’t.
He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes.
Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like that’s going to end up well…
Goodreads Synopsis:
The sequel to The Lives of Tao.
The Prophus and the Genjix are at war. For centuries they have sought a way off-planet, guiding humanity’s social and technological development to the stage where space travel is possible. The end is now in sight, and both factions have plans to leave the Earth, but the Genjix method will mean the destruction of the human race.
That’s a price they’re willing to pay.
It’s up to Roen and Tao to save the world. Oh, dear…

Curious about Playing for Keeps... the idea of superheroes w/ lame powers sounds kinda fun. Hope you have a good reading week.
ReplyDeleteGreg, I'm actually loving Playing for Keeps! The humor is subtle, but wonderfully well done. And as for the lame powers...oh yea, they are and hilarious as well! :D Hope you check it out. I think many need to listen to this story, or read it. :)
DeleteThank you!
I hope you have a better week - it's rough when life gets in the way of reading, I do understand :( You've got some great reviews in the works though, I look forward to seeing them! Wildfire also sounds pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you Berls. I'm hoping as well. We'll see what happens. :) And Hope you get to look into Wildfire, it really does sound good. :) Thank you!

DeleteHi, your blog looks just as busy as mine is. It can be overwhelming trying to keep up with it all. I also like to find time to visit and comment which takes a lot of time, but I love finding new book review blogs and getting new readers too.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Hill, Oh yes. It's crazy here at times trying to keep up with everything. :) But fun too. I try to visit other blogs every night, however life these days has been a bit uncooperative.
DeleteThat's a lot of reviews you are working on! How do you keep them all straight?
ReplyDeleteBea, I'm trying to keep a list for when I'm behind. I have all the reviews written and ready going.
DeleteThe cover for Wildfire looks great! I'm sorry you still haven't had any down time. Your review list is starting to look as long as mine, lol. Thank you for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle @ In Libris Veritas. Hope you get to look into Wildfire.
