A fascinating book that reads like a story straight out of 1001 Nights. It’s rich in world, excellent in characters and satisfied my fancy for swashbuckling sea pirate adventure. The Legend and the Woman behind it, captain us into a tale of mystery and adventure filled with evil magic, sea monsters and mythical beings!

SYNOPSIS: From debut author Hadeer Elsbai comes the first book in an incredibly powerful new duology, set wholly in a new world, but inspired by modern Egyptian history, about two young women–Nehal, a spoiled aristocrat used to getting what she wants and Giorgina, a poor bookshop worker used to having nothing–who find they have far […]
Review: No Heart for a Thief (Malitu #1) by James Lloyd Dulin
As an editor, there have only been a few books where I truly did not have to do much work. This was one of them. I have never enjoyed a debut as much as I enjoyed No Heart for a Thief. His writing skill alone could be enough to carry the book, but he went ahead and wrote a damn good story to accompany it.

Review: The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan
Lakshminarayan’s narrative style is playful and crushing in equal measure. This makes for a strong debut and a whole new sense of unease about our overreliance on technology.
