Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 257 - Six Wakes by Our Lafferty

Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a Science Fiction thriller that caught me from the first page when Maria's clone woke up looking at blood floating in the clone lab. It just keeps going from there as the tension ramps up and the danger increases. There are just 7 characters in the book, one is the AI and the other six are clones. As the story progresses the back story and world building comes into focus. There were enough red herrings to cause whip lash as the clues about each clone's past are revealed. The common thread comes out but not the result until the very end. This is a Hugo nominee and goes to the top of my vote for best novel of 2017.

First Mate's Accidental Wife by Eve Langlais
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This uses a interesting trope. The rescue is in danger of failing but if they marry all will work out. Michi is ready to be rescued and eager to marry. Damon on the other hand knows he does not want to be married. It was fun to watch the two interact. The dialog keeps the fun going. I listened to this as an audio book and through the narrator missed playing up the humor. I did enjoy seeing Michi and Damon and liked the hint about the next book that showed up at the end.
