Flavor of the week:
Starflight
Melissa Landers
Series: Starflight #1
Publication date: February 2nd 2016
by Disney-Hyperion
Life in the outer realm is a lawless, dirty, hard existence, and Solara Brooks is hungry for it. Just out of the orphanage, she needs a fresh start in a place where nobody cares about the engine grease beneath her fingernails or the felony tattoos across her knuckles. She’s so desperate to reach the realm that she’s willing to indenture herself to Doran Spaulding, the rich and popular quarterback who made her life miserable all through high school, in exchange for passage aboard the spaceliner Zenith.
When a twist of fate lands them instead on the Banshee, a vessel of dubious repute, Doran learns he’s been framed on Earth for conspiracy. As he pursues a set of mysterious coordinates rumored to hold the key to clearing his name, he and Solara must get past their enmity to work together and evade those out for their arrest. Life on the Banshee may be tumultuous, but as Solara and Doran are forced to question everything they once believed about their world–and each other–the ship becomes home, and the eccentric crew family. But what Solara and Doran discover on the mysterious Planet X has the power to not only alter their lives, but the existence of everyone in the universe…

I’m definitely planning on buying Stars Above! I read a few of the other books in ARC format, but there aren’t any that I want to own.

I saw tweets about Arrow by Melissa Gorzelanczyk last night on Twitter and plan to buy it this week. The story idea hooked me immediately. Plan to get Stars Above soon and Starlight and Assassin’s Heart later in the year.
