Welcome to Litsy!

Hester, an AI expert, is working as a security officer for the company to pay off her medical bills after surviving a terrorist attack. She now has a prosthetic left eye, ear, arm and leg. She receives an unexpected encrypted message from another survivor. Before she can respond, he is dead. She asks to be assigned to the team on his case. I really enjoyed this sci-fi mystery. I had one aspect figured out, but it didn‘t take anything away.

I'm decidedly not a sci-fi reader, but add a murder mystery and you might just pull me in. This was engaging, science-heavy without leaving me behind, and fast-paced. You can't ask for more when it's not your genre.

Sometimes you have to put the book down and pay attention to your babies ❤️

Hester is stuck in a bit of a dead end job in order to pay back medical bills from a catastrophic injury. She gets a message from David, who was caught in the same incident that injured her, and he winds up dead the next day. She goes to the asteroid mine where he was working to investigate. This is a terrific sci-fi mystery that kept me guessing, had great twists and turns, and such a creative location. I can‘t wait for her next book!

I love mysteries, I love scifi, and Dead Space puts those genres together in a fascinating and compelling way. Hester was an enigma suffering with massive trauma both physical and mental. I love that she had a disability and that it was a part of her on every page and I thought her struggles were well done. The cast of this story are unique and there is much representation of queer and nonbinary characters that are very much a part of the story.
