My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Two Dead Billionaires by Luke Patrick Sheldon is a great mystery that kept me engaged right from beginning to end. It follows a sharp investigator, Hekla, probing the puzzling deaths of two billionaires, unraveling a dark web of power and corruption. The character development is exceptional, adding depth and making you genuinely care about their journeys. Hekla is a strong lead and creates a powerful image of tenacity and not giving up. I love the setting in Iceland, which enhances the story’s intrigue and atmosphere. Sheldon’s crisp writing and balanced pacing bring each scene vividly to life, pulling you in, and making this thriller a fresh, intense, and must-read addition to the genre.

Burn the Freeze: A Dystopian AdventureBurn the Freeze: A Dystopian Adventure by S.M. McVicar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Burn the Freeze: A Dystopian Adventure, S.M. McVicar imagines a chilling future ruled by billionaires known as the 31- who enforce control through the Freeze Act and ultimately dehumanizing biofeedback tests. Cal Shook, a Deviator and ex-venture capitalist, fights back with the help of an X-2 headset that unlocks hidden knowledge. The imagery is compellingly real, and well described while the plot moves briskly with an undercurrent of unease. Combining cyberpunk and dystopian elements, the novel explores rebellion against surveillance and oppression, creating a gripping story with thoughtful social commentary. This book is perfect for dystopian fiction fans.
