Every Tuesday over at  The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  This week’s topic is Ten New to Me Authors from 2017 – however, I swapped this for an earlier December topic which should have actually been Top Ten Favourite Books.  Now, I already posted my favourite books yesterday (you can find them here, and I already posted 10 New to me Authors which you can find here).  So, in keeping with the favourite books theme I’m posting ten (more) must read books from 2017.

Ten ‘Must Reads’ from 2017

1. The White Road by Sarah Lotz.  I really enjoyed this one.  Sarah Lotz is a really good author at creating tension.
2. The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden.  Very unique.  I loved the world created and was absolutely fascinated with the turn of events.  Futuristic/near future with Gods and robots.
3. Devil’s Call by J Danielle Dorn.  This book was gripping.  I couldn’t put it down.  Darkly magical with a hint of malice.
4. The Punch Escrow by Tal M. Klein.  This is sci fi – with a thoroughly engrossing concept based around travel.
5. Sea of Rust by C Robert Cargill.  A book with no humans.  Difficult to pull off and yet Cargill succeeds in making this compulsive.
6. The Last Dog on Earth Adrian J. Walker.  I loved this.  I really enjoyed being inside the dog’s head – be warned though, the dog can be a little bit foul mouthed.
7. Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell.  This is a fun and creative series.  A real keeper.  I’ve already read the second and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first.
8. Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky.  This was unexpectedly excellent.  I went into this read thinking it might not be for me what with all the military elements.  It completely took me by surprise.
9. The Naturalist by Andrew Mayne.  A series of deaths and a scientist who refuses to ignore the clues.  This one was such a compulsive page turner.
10. Kill Creek by Scott Thomas. Four horror writers meeting in a haunted house on Halloween  what could possible go wrong.  Very well done.
