BOOK REVIEW: "Jax Starlight: Earth Ten Vol. 1" by Jenn Nixon

Jax Starlight Volume One: The Earth Ten (The Jax Starlight Series Book 1) by [Nixon, Jenn]

When the Exodus ships left Earth, we all thought we had a chance at starting over, finding a new world to build a colony. Only that didn't happen. We crashed on an inhabited planet and woke up to a nightmare we can't escape. There's something different about this world. It's changing me. I'm stronger, faster, and...

I know what some would say, but they've got it all wrong. No one in their right mind would want this power and the responsibility that comes with it. Definitely not me. I'm not a superhero. I'm just Jax, freak extraordinaire, and this is my story.


I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a lifelong fan of superheroes, I was stoked to see this book. There are, in my opinion, too few books focusing on superheroes. And for Nixon's first offering in this genre, it's more than promising.
After an apocalyptic event, people flee Earth to travel to a new world which bestows powers on young Jax, a teenage girl who considers herself a freak. That's one of the things I loved, that Jax wasn't a "normal" girl, but rather more of an outcast. I think she'll be a great role model for teen girls reading the book on that alone.
The story was fast paced and intriguing, making you want to turn the page and find out what happens next. I can't wait for volume two!

RELEASE BLITZ: "Sinners Never Sleep" by Sharon Stevenson


Meet Tina Saint. She kills demons in her sleep...

Christina Saint is a walking demon magnet. Born into a long line of dream walkers, when a creature from hell is in possession of a human’s body she can see it in their eyes, and she can destroy them in her dreams.

When she comes back to town after attempting to run away from her problems, she finds they’ve only multiplied. Her best friend is being distant, the guy who broke her heart is angry with her, and the casual fling she’s trying to avoid wants to be something more, but these are the least of her problems.

The real kicker is the Wrath demon running rampant in her town, quickly creating a serial killer out of his human host. Discovering her target has a blisteringly inconvenient case of insomnia, she has her work cut out for her.

There’s only one way to destroy a demon. Entering the dreamscape is a necessity, but this time it’s going to take dealing with the human too. She’s going to have to risk life and limb to drag a murderer back to hell, and she needs to try and keep her new job and deal with the aftermath of leaving town at the same time.

Welcome to Tina Saint’s nightmare. Meet the first of Seven Deadly Demons in the new urban fantasy series from USA Today bestselling author Sharon Stevenson.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT: "The Long Lost Future" by Ian Cattell

The Long Lost Future

Randall didn't know he had a destiny until it interrupted his lunch one day; and it was bigger than he could possibly have imagined (his destiny, not his lunch).
That's when he met the mysterious Marcus Han - brainier than a clumsy butcher's floor, and secretly the richest man in the world, he would be Randall's companion and mentor through the challenges they must face in their struggle to stop the entire Galaxy from vanishing.
With a supporting cast of talking trees, mutant psychics, bungling cops, extremely refined resistance operatives, military trained birds, enlightened mushrooms, hallucinating AI units, cutlery collecting crabs, and his definitely EX-girlfriend to help him, he must travel back in time to the twenty-first century and begin again in a new, less tyrannical timeline.
If his departed dad, the World Police, the Planimals, or the ancient aliens don’t stop him first that is…


About the author.



Ian Cattell is a software developer who wanted a change from staring blankly at a computer screen all day. So he decided to write a book.

Yeah, I know…

Over the next six months he learned that there are many advantages to writing a book compared to writing software, the main one being that he doesn't have to re-write it whenever Microsoft decides it's “time”.




Some reviews of The Long Lost Future from Amazon.co.uk














If you are a fan of Pratchett and Adams then look no further than this book. A wonderful array of characters from an eccentric very British submarine crew to a malevolent talking Raven with the added bonus of time travel for good measure. I loved it.
____________

A really fun Romp through space and time. I laughed out loud in some places and started my own game of 'get the reference'. More than a sci-fi parody, more than a nerd's accumulation of snippets from almost every tv, radio, film and book involving space or time ever made in the history of the universe ever. A really good story and a good read.
____________

Thoroughly enjoyed this marvellous tale. Well written, full of excitement, lots of great jokes and a big dose of proper old fashioned sci-fi. Looking forward to more.
A wonderfully eccentric take on time-travel and saving the universe. A real page turner, I enjoyed every second. First class.
____________

Fantastic read. Both intelligent and laugh out loud funny. Great plot from beginning to end, with humorous footnotes.
____________

If you want an adventure, sci fi, spy story with a twist? This ones for you, I laughed, felt sad, felt clever, you name it. The must read of 2017 by a fantastic new writer.....Go on give it a read, you know it makes sense!!!
____________

Funny and intelligent laughing out loud from the beginning
He best be quick writing the sequel!
____________
Bought this on a recommendation. So much better than I expected! Take the DNA of Adams and Pratchett, mix with a cutting cornucopia of modern issues, and add a huge dose of humour, and you not even close to how good The Long Lost Future is. Amazing and thoroughly engaging book, read it!
____________

A thoroughly enjoyable piece of modern literature. Witty, funny and very well told, this author is one to watch out for
____________

Really enjoyed this especially the twist in then end. Can't wait for the sequel

Featured Story Teasers:


Hero by Stacy-Deanne
She ran her fingers through his hair, touching his scalp. "I've wanted you since you first came to my house."
"When you were flirting?" He chuckled, massaging her breasts. "How does this feel?"
"Good." She leaned back on the shelf, moaning. "Kiss'em."
Scott kissed her breasts, tracing his tongue along the brown areola.
"Yes." She got that swishing motion in her stomach as if she were falling over a cliff. "Yes, Scott."

Inner Girl Rising by Jan Springer
"You like it, don't you, having the two of us taking you?" Andrew whispered. His voice was dark and deep and it's huskiness rippled along her sensitized nerve endings. Andrew's palm moved away and fingers teasingly trailed around her slit. Involuntarily, Paisley bucked against him, needing penetration. Andrew chuckled.
"Spread your legs wider, sweetheart. Nice and wide," he ordered.

An Unexpected Twist by Krista Ames
 Zayn hesitated as he hovered over Jenna. Having her gloriously naked in his bed was all he'd wanted since the day he'd met her. She had an air about her that wrapped around his entire being, made him putty in her hands. Slowly he kissed her, unable to pull away as he lowered himself to rest against her skin.
"Are you waiting for permission?"
"Do I need it?"
With her legs wrapping around his waist, Jenna pulled him to where her body desperately needed him to be.
"Permission granted."

Love Potion by Cara Marsi
 She wanted him suddenly, wanted all of him, body and soul, in a way she'd never wanted any other man. Hungrily she wound her arms around his neck and lifted her face for his kiss. He was quick to deliver. His lips, soft at first, grew more demanding, and Nicole's whole body seemed to come alive at his touch. She opened to him, twining her tongue with his in an erotic dance. When he slid his hand up her ribcage to caress her breast through the thin fabric of the tank top, she groaned. He lay back, pulling her with him until she was on top of him.

Fiery Kisses by Khardine Gray
You never forget your first love.


Mister Write Now by Nikky Kaye
 Sophy cleared her throat and opened the book again, projecting her voice to the far corners of the library. "Clarissa reached out and tangled her fingers in his soft hair, pulling him closer to her quivering nest of desire."
Somewhere in the distance she heard a gasp and she blinked at the words swimming on the page in front of her, realizing she had lost her place. She would not be embarrased.
Her voice rose as she skipped ahead a few sentences to finish the paragraph. "--she melted against the scratchy straw at her back and her body tensed in anticipation."
When she turned back to Max, she saw the strangled expression on his face and the small flush in the hollow of his throat, exposed by his starched white shirt. Even though he looked as though he wanted to crawl under the table and die, he gazed at her with a mixture of fascination and something more dangerous.

The Millionaire by Lisa Marbly-Warir
"What are you doing here?" Quisha asked as she opened the door with a towel wrapped around her still damp body.
Without answering he kissed her. She gave in to the kiss. The chemistry between them had been slowly growing and neither of them could deny it. He picked her up and carried her to her bedroom and removed her towel...

Why Not by Dana Kenzi
The pleasure was too much for her, and she screamed when her climax hit. Her back arched off the bed, and Ryan thrust his fingers deep into her. His mouth somehow remained attached to her clit, and he licked her through her orgasm.
His attentions carried her through the waves until she felt too sensitive to continue. Ryan pulled his fingers out and kissed her stomach.
Sadie was exhausted, but she wanted him to know how satisfied she was. 

Without Reservation by Lynn Burke
"Give us one night," Jack said. "Please."
She peered into his eyes, temptation swirling through her body. Just one night. She wouldn't see them again, anyway, right? No harm in one little fling. Checked off number one bucket list desire...
Trevor kissed her palm. "Please." 



Tempting Asher by Ja’Nese Dixon
I mistakenly looked into his chestnut eyes, stepping forward and I freeze. Accepting the heated offer in his eyes would only make this awful situation worse. I can't crack.
I can't pretend I asked, and he agreed. Asher couldn't possibly love me and grand a hall pass. Could he? 

Bossy Boots by Nicole Morgan 

He thrust forward. Pushing himself inside, reaching parts of her he'd only ever dreamt about. Her body arched into his. Their breaths heavy, their bodies hot and sticky despite the cool desert wind. Neither of them spoke, each of them pushing against and with one another.
