Grave Flowers by Autumn Krause

DNF – Slow paced romantasy

The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland

Supernatural page-turner

What We Can Know by Ian McEwan

Mostly entertaining mash up of literary whodunnit and cli-fi

Katabasis by R. F. Kuang

Alice in the underworld

Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff

Book 2 is darker than Book 1, but just as page-turning

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

Another enjoyable sci-fi action-comedy

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Book 2: better & funnier than Book 1

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

Enjoyable action sci-fi featuring a delightfully antisocial cyborg

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff

The Witcher meets Interview with a Vampire in this dark fantasy pageturner

Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho

Promising dystopian satire but a bit rough around the edges
