Review: Supernova


Book Review: Supernova, by Jessica Marting, 3 stars



All Lily wants is to start over. A move to the city, with a new job in a cryonics lab is the perfect way to rebuild her life. She just doesn’t expect her employers to be a pair of violent, power-hungry aliens with time travel abilities.

Hauling a pile of museum artifacts in a dilapidated patrol ship, the worst things Captain Rian Marska expects to deal with are bickering crew members and a long, lonely trip across the galaxy. An Earth exhibit coming to life and claiming to be from the twenty-first century is the last thing he wants to deal with, as are the feelings she stirs in him.

When Rian’s superiors sweep Lily under the rug, they take it upon themselves to find out why she was taken from her own time and what her kidnappers want. What they discover has implications not only for them but for the entire civilized universe.


Genre: science fiction romance

Publication date: December 2013

Mature content: yes

Review: Supernova is an Ok book. not amazing, but not all that bad either. I wished the beginning of the book did not feel so silly, and I had hoped for some more action/adventure (instead the second half of the book is mostly focused on Lily and Rian's romance) and some more detail on the world Lily lands in. 

I've read much better science fiction romances, but I've also read much worse. If you love the genre, you may want to give it a try. 

Supernova is book one in The Commons series by Jessica Marting and one of these days I'll have a look at book two as well and see how it goes.

Happy readings!
