Felt like writing some of my thoughts about Aestus, by S. Z. Attwell. This is basically all spoilers - I have spoiler-free reviews on my Bookwyrm.
As Aestus Book 1 is a finalist in the SPSFC competition this weekend, I felt it was a good time to write something more detailed about why I love these books.
Finished The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz. Overall, a fun thrill ride. Two things struck me:
#MLB pitcher Randy Johnson shows up for a minute, and I'm curious what he thinks about how he was portrayed. I hope he has a sense of humor about it!
I had forgotten that the previous POTUS, without any consequence, implied on Twitter that a US Senator had offered him sexual favors in exchange for campaign contributions. Reference was made in passing. #FridayReads#Bookstodon#Books@bookstodon
Called in to examine what is left of a body struck by lightning, Tempe traces an unusual tattoo to its source and is soon embroiled in a much larger case. Young men – tourists – have been disappearing on the islands of Turks and Caicos for years. Seven years ago, the first victim was found in a strange location with both hands cut off; the other visitors vanished without a trace. But, recently, tantalising leads have emerged and only Tempe can unravel them.
