Reviews for Dana Fiduccia

Okay I need to be upfront – this is my first venture into this genre, so Sci-Fi expert I am not. That said, I suspect Siren must have struggled to work out just what genre this is – yes, there is romance and yes there is sci-fi, but there’s a lot more too! Sci-Fi aside the author is not telling us the story in a conventional style. The title word Incidents actually is well chosen, because there is an element of an episodic nature to the story. Lots happens and we can't (well I couldn’t) predict what is going to happen next or where things are going to go. Mid way when it seems to be relatively straight forward we are taken in a surprising different direction. This works though – I was never bored, and as long as the Sci-Fi premise is accepted everything makes sense. It’s nice having older characters (even if one of them has something the rest of us don’t), and there’s a gentleness and sweetness to Laura and Michael that has us rooting for them. The romance is steady and solid, with some occasional steamier moments. There’s action – quite a lot of bad guys and not wanting to do any spoilers, I’ll just say more than one gets a suitable come-uppance and in highly original ways. Probably could have separated this into two novels but given its in one, just means plenty of entertainment in one package.
