A whole new world to explore, with characters with whom I enjoyed spending time. A super creative world, lovely characters, a charming romance and a robot detective story. What more can I ask for? Really good read and I’m eagerly anticipating the sequel!

A mystery set in a really engaging and interesting sci-fi dystopia world alongside a refreshingly wholesome romance. Sci-fi with androids/robots is one of my favs, and I really enjoyed the depth to which that aspect of the story was fleshed out!

Excitedly awaiting the sequel!

It's a fluffy sci-fi murder mystery with a gay love story set in a dystopian world that is still hopeful for the future. It's also a story with two queer main characters, one of which is neurodivergent written by someone who is also queer and neurodivergent. I know I wrote this book, so my review shouldn't count, but listen: I'm pretty darn proud of it and I just hope y'all enjoy reading it as I did writing it.

Amazing read! Light read, while also keeping the story morbid and interesting. I was pleasantly intrigued by the futuristic setting based in real location. The background of a climate disaster, with focus on social evolution in times of major global shift made this sweet romantic thriller a must read.

If you’re a fan of noir realist thriller mysteries but wish they were cuter, gayer, and had more robots, this one’s for you.

This is the kind of book you hug after reading. It gave me all the warm and fuzzy butterflies while the mystery keeps you guessing. All of the characters are unique and loveable in their own way. The cherry on top: I thought I figured out whodunit, but they got me! Looking back it was brilliantly hinted around but I did not see it coming. What a fun ride!! Highly recommend!!
