Book Review: Antimatter Blues a Mickey 7 Novel by Edward Ashton

January 4, 2024 by Carolynn

Antimatter Blues is the follow up to Mickey 7. If anything, it was funnier and more poignant than the first–I laughed and cried in this one. It points out a danger of cloning that I rarely see articulated: people thinking that a clone is essentially the same person as a previous clone, making the clone “expendable” in the minds of the people around him or her.

Highly recommended, just like the first. You can purchase it at Amazon US, Canada, Australia, GooglePlay

Enjoy this exciting dark and sexy futuristic urban fantasy series from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott.

My mother was a wicked witch. Her spells brought nothing but trouble. Since her death, with no power of my own, I’ve stayed far away from magic . . .

In a San Francisco struggling with earthquakes and rising seas, where technology can do things that are close enough to magic, Maggie Lachlan is a computer whisperer. The one they call when no one else can find the elusive bug bringing a complex system to its knees. They call her the TechWitch. But she knows there’s nothing magical about what she does. It’s just hard-earned skill.

So, when billionaire Damon Riley, owner of the world’s biggest virtual reality gaming company, comes calling with a problem that his entire empire of geeks can’t fix, Maggie leaps at the job. Riley Arts is the kind of place she feels at home. All tech. No magic. Except, perhaps, for the undeniable chemistry she has with the man in charge.

But she never imagined stepping into one of Damon’s games would break a spell she didn’t know she was under and free the magic her mother said she didn’t possess.

Now she has a demon hunting her and the magical world she knows nothing about to navigate. To save herself—and the world—she needs to learn fast.

Because, when it comes to magic, the games are wicked. And losing can be deadly…

Wicked Games is the first book in the TechWitch series, an exciting dark and sexy futuristic urban fantasy from RITA® Award nominated author M.J. Scott. This series has witches, demons, an ongoing relationship that will have an HEA, sexy times, and a lot of computer geeks. Perfect if you like the idea of a strong heroine, a hot protective billionaire and magic and technology colliding. Enjoy!

The Earthburst Saga begins with the international bestseller and Kindle Unlimited All-Star title, Last Man Standing:

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don’t think they’re finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I’m not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn’t over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake:

They left the wrong man standing…

Myth and legend come to life in Dark Age Wales …

Cold My Heart: Love. Magic. Faith. By the autumn of 537 AD, all who are loyal to King Arthur have retreated to a small parcel of land in north Wales. They are surrounded on all sides, heavily outnumbered, and facing near certain defeat. But Myrddin and Nell, two of the king’s companions, have a secret that neither has ever been able to face: each has seen that on a cold and snowy day in December, Saxon soldiers sent by Modred will ambush and kill King Arthur. And together, they must decide what they are willing to do, and to sacrifice, to avert that fate.

Cold My Heart in this volume includes three novels published separately elsewhere: Cold My Heart, The Oaken Door, and Of Men and Dragons.

The Last Pendragon: Rhiann knows that demons walk the night. She has been taught to fear them. But from the moment Cade is dragged before her father’s throne, beaten and having lost all of his men to her father’s treachery, he stirs something inside her that she has never felt before. When Cade is revealed to be not only Arthur’s heir but touched by the sidhe, Rhiann must choose between the life she left behind and the one before her–and how much she is willing to risk to follow her heart.

The Last Pendragon in this volume consists of three novels published separately elsewhere: The Last Pendragon, The Pendragon’s Blade, and Song of the Pendragon.

Cold My Heart and The Last Pendragon are the first books in two different series set in Dark Age Wales!
