Addergoole and Intimate History have dropped from the charts since last week, leaving room for Above Ground and Black Mask. Exciting times!

Latest reviews
After the last two review-packed weeks, this past week has been a little quiet on the review front, with only four new reviews posted.
Rousby praises Diary of a Heretic by Kathleen Maher for the “astonishingly high quality writing and always entertaining stories—sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, and often quite sexy, without veering into “erotica.”
Continuing with her weekly reviews, Shutsumon admires the concepts behind Starwalker by Melanie Edmonds, saying “Starwalker (the ship) has a wonderfully distinctive voice.”
Cloudnigh by Spinner is deemed “inventive and exciting” by Lizzy, who recommends the story’s strong, immersive characterization.
Over on Muse’s Success, DramaticLove praises Dead Boyfriend by Seth Gray for “the new and fresh take on vampire lore,” along with the story’s “perfect balance of romance, humor, and angst.”
