#BookReview: Star Bringer by Tracy Wolff; Nina Croft






Synopsis: The sun is dying...and it's happening way too damn fast.

With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets' only hope of survival rests on a fancy space station and the alien artifact it's carrying. Which is why it really sucks when some jackass doesn't want the universe saved and blows that station up-while you're still on it.

So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of space junk-you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an asshole in charge of us all.

Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship-from the Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion's joining in on the fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe...somehow.

Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits...ahem, heroes.

My Review: Sometimes I have issues with reading things in ebook vs. print.  So I wanted to wait to do this review until I could try this in both formats. Well unfortunately for me this book was just not done well.  I am so sad that I ended up DNFing this one since I am a giant fan of Tracy Wolff.  But sadly this one was just not good.  I think that the world building wasn't don't to its fullest and the writing was just confusing for the most part.  The characters felt more middle grade with horney issues than the new adult/adult title it was supposed to be.  Even a lot of the snark felt like it would work better for lower young adult.  I wanted to love this one but it was just so bad. And I wonder if I read the same book as the people that I know in a group has read because they die hard loved this one. 











About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff wrote her first short story―something with a rainbow and a prince―in second grade. By ten, she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore. A one-time English professor with more than fifty novels to her name, she now devotes most of her time to writing and dreaming up heroes. She also writes under the name Tracy Deebs and lives in Austin, Texas, with her family. Visit her online at tracywolffbooks.com.

Nina Croft grew up in the north of England. After training as an accountant, she spent four years working as a volunteer in Zambia, which left her with a love of the sun and a dislike of nine-to-five work. She's since then spent a number of years mixing travel (whenever possible) with work (whenever necessary), and has settled down to a life of writing and picking almonds on a remote farm in the mountains of southern Spain.

Nina writes all types of romance, often mixed with elements of the paranormal and science fiction.
