Fringe Fiction Unlimited discussion

I happened across the "PLEASE MEMBERS !!! CREATE NEW TOPICS" thread encouraging members to start new discussions, and thought I'd give it a go.

To reiterate the topic's title: Which Indie Book are you Currently Reading?

And to keep with the group's posted rules, Please promote other authors, not just yourself. As the adage goes – A good writer reads. Be gracious enough to recommend and discuss books you’re a fan of from time to time.

Mods, if this was a no no, please delete. Also, my bad!

I'm currently reading the third in Veronica Del Rosa's Enforcers and Coterie series, .

It's great so far; I really dig Ms Del Rosa's writing style. ☺

Actually, I just finished 2 pretty good books. Plague of Equals: A science thriller of international disease, politics and drug discovery. was pretty good, even if it was outside my typical genres, and Nascent Decay This book I loved, lots of good scifi in here, but not hard scifi, as I would classify it more as an adventure.

I'm reading When The Tide Turned. Beautifully written. It's an unusual mystery, both realistic and paranormal-scary at the same time.

I'm just finishing up a group read for another group, but once I'm done with that I have a couple of indies lined up: Girl From Above: Escape which is Sci Fi and Chance the Darkness which is Urban Fantasy. :)

I enjoy thrillers/suspense. Any suggestions?

You're welcome. They are a bunch of great indies. :)

I just finished the second novella of the first volume of Krista D. Ball's Spirit Caller: Books 1-3 series. It's a little outside what I normally read, with part of tthe plot being romantic but it's a fun series and I like how real it feels on the romance side.

Also will be restarting Christopher Ruz's Rust: Season One. I say restart because I had snagged episode 1 when he made it free and wanted more before i'd even finished. So I grabbed the season 1 book. This is the opposite of Krista as it's straight up creepy horror.

I recommend both authors for anyone interested. They're great people too, and i'm glad to know them.

Currently I'm reading Blood Toy

It's like a really dark urban fantasy (violence, sexuality, abuse, grim consequences) but I enjoy it because it doesn't put a pretty face on how vampire hunting might go or try to create some clean line between "bad" vampires/"good" vampires. They're predators, in some sense or another, so it's not sweeping all the ramification of that aside in favor of telling some kinky romance.

Also, I'm digging how it isn't strictly vampires - a lot's going bump in the night here and I'm only halfway through. It makes for an interesting storm the main character's standing at the eye of.

That sounds fun.

Now I just started Dakiti by E.J. Fisch, I like it so far. Has a solid science fiction feel, I love me some good science fiction.

Riley, I read Dakiti back in the summer of 2015, and really liked it! If anyone's interested, my five-star review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... .

Right at the moment, I'm not reading any independent or small press books (though I have a few in the queue). But I can't believe that nobody in this group has read one since July 5, 2015 --I'm guessing that this thread must have just gotten buried and forgotten?

I'm currently reading Davenport House (Book 1) by Marie Silk. I started it Friday :)

Call for Brindelier (book three of the series Keepers of the Wellspring) by Missy Sheldrake. I am also reading a paper back, From a distant star by Karen McQuestion. I think this one is from a small press though (Skyscape) never heard of them...

I'm constantly reading indie books. :-)

hehe me too...I stopped reading trad a few years ago. I will sometimes read small press (usually because I didn't check before I bought the book. :P)

I know so many authors these days that I like to support them as much as possible. I do read popular stuff too, though.

I have a recommendation for all those who like a cross between 'Cider with Rosie and Stephen King' The Caterpillar Girl: A long, hot summer. A boy. A girl. A house of dark secrets

I have recommended it to a number of my friends who have all enjoyed it. It is really well written and for a debut novel is pretty special.

I'm currently reading .

I'm reading and am enjoying it.

Was also reading the . Did not enjoy this book.
