One thing that has changed is I have fewer authors I “buy automatically.” I don’t know if that’s because I have been burned on books I just didn’t like from some of my former go-to authors or if it’s because my own reading tastes have changed.
I thought 6 years was plenty of time to try that list again and see what’s changed.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Voyager for the ARC.
Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, the Valor series by Tanya Huff, or Cat Rambo’s You Sexy Thing. The second book is coming out in 2022 and I canNOT wait! In conclusion The world-building is perfect – enough to be different but not so complex as to overwhelm or bore. Jessie Mihalik writes characters that you quickly become emotionally invested in. Luna gives you an adorable animal sidekick. You get the attraction – we can’t do this but we have to- romance vibe. The plot is fast-paced with a fair amount of intrigue to be unraveled. There’s lots of witty banter, delicious descriptions of food, and some spicy steam between Tavi and Torran. I love that they’re written to show true affection and care for one another. The supporting characters are well developed and they engage in lots of witty banter. I love when authors write strong women without making them emotionless. Tavi is a strong, capable leader but she cares deeply – about her crew, her burbu Luna (imagine an Arctic fox crossed with a cat). Hunt the Stars gave me Serenity/Firefly vibes with its chosen family, military veterans trope. But they weren’t expecting that Torran Fletcher, one of the most feared Valovian generals, would hire them to find a missing heirloom.Īnd Tavi wasn’t expecting to have anything but cold hostility for him but Valovians are so gorgeous… My thoughts about Hunt the Stars Tavi and crew take on bounty hunter jobs to pay the bills. The war ended in an uneasy truce with lots of anger on both sides. Tavi and her crew are all military veterans in a war with the Valoff.
HUNT THE STARS by Jessie Mihalik was the science fiction- space opera- romance military/court intrigue I’d been craving. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Published by Atria Books, Harper Voyager on February 1, 2022
