Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 187 - Into the Fire by Elizabeth Moon, Survive the Night by Katie Ruggle

Into the Fire by Elizabeth Moon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just when Admiral Kylara Vatta thinks that she is home free everything falls apart. There are enough problems in Into the Fire to fuel the plot for several books. It was interesting to see how each of the characters reacted to the danger they find themselves in. Of course Ky does seem to win in the end but not until several of the key characters are almost killed. There is one characters who finally comes into her own leaving Ky feeling very puzzled by her reaction to events. A interesting read filled with danger and tension. Understanding the backstory and the world building worked best if book one in the Vatta's Peace series was read first. Into the Fire continues the interesting plot started in book one.

Survive the Night by Katie Ruggle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you like over the top danger Survive the Night is the book for you. It seems the bad guys have enough weapons and people to take on an entire town. Why? Because there are two women there that are a big danger to them. This time it is Sarah Clifton who arrives trying to escape her brother who wants to marry her off to a member of another crime family. K9 Officer Otto Gunnersen takes one look at Sarah and knows he has to defend her from all comers. This has a very sweet romance between the two, danger that causes a very large amount of damage, tension from first to last page, and a continuation of the plot started in the first book. This can be read as a standalone but is much better if you have read the previous books. Ever way pick it up to read.

Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 82 - Rescued by the Space Pirate by Nina Croft, Stolen by the Space Pirate by Nina Croft, Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon

Stolen by the Space Pirate by Nina Croft
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Part two of the Ruby Robbins Sexy Space Odyssey finds Ruby in the palace and Killian there to save her. What I suspected turns out to be true only with a twist. Ruby's mission is not as straight forward as she though. This is a three part series which could be one novella. I got part one and two from Netgalley and have a request in for part 3. A fun read but if you do not like cliff hangers I would wait of all three to be out before reading.


Rescued by the Space Pirate by Nina Croft
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ruby is in love with space so when she is asked to help with a rescue if she is willing to go to space she jumps at the chance. Ruby is a sweetheart. She is loyal to her task and continues even when Killian has rescued her from the slave pit. Killian is a fun characters who connects with Ruby right away. This is part one of the Ruby Series. If you do not like cliff hangers wait for all three parts to be published. I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.


Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was nice to see Klara Vatta again. I read Vatta's war when it came out years ago and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see Klara, the Vatta clan and other friends again. This was a rather slow paced story that allowed me to be reacquainted with both Klara and the previous story line. There is danger and tension. Klara is placed in a very dangerous situation and once again she has to come up with solutions where it seems there are none. A nice start with the new series. There were several loose strings as the story ends so I see a lot of action in the next book. I was glad to see Moon return to Science Fiction. I received a free copy of Cold Welcome in return for an honest review.
