 Today's indie review! Cascade by Rachel A. Rosen:

"Cascade had the most memorable quotes I’d seen in a while: "it was orderly, a very Canadian kind of apocalypse.”... A four-star story about environmental disaster, the sudden emergence of magic and psychic abilities in groups of people, and the seeming sleep of reason in everyone concerned."

 Today's queer spec fic review: Deficient by Michael Solis

"A superb debut novel filled with humor, suspense, action, mystery, and many surprises. The ideas in the book have a lot of potential as a series, and the story will appeal to many beyond its core young adult audience. Worth the read!"
