Top 5 Books on Dianne Duvall’s Spring TBR List Hello! Thanks so much for helping me celebrate the release of THE LASARAN, the first book in my new Aldebarian Alliance series. (I’m so excited!) I have always been a voracious reader . . . and by always, I mean since the second grade. Most of the time, I read for fun. But sometimes I also read for escape. I’ve been needing a little more of the latter lately, so I’ve been trying to work in more reading time. And here are a few of the many, many books on my TBR list: 1 RELIC OF SORROWS (Fallen Empire Book 4) by Lyndsay Buroker. Though romance is my favorite genre, this straight-up sci-fi series has really pulled me in. I...

Summary: Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring...until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. And then he opened his mouth. Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. The hot alien living next door marks me. You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. If I don't kill him first, that is.
