A lot of political elements
Beginning of the Rebellion
Probably the weaker of all the Star Wars spin off series. Very low on action a lot of the time. Set in the build up to Rogue One. This seems to show the beginning of the Rebellion movement. Star Wars fans will no doubt love it but it was dragged out at 12 episodes.

2025 Nu-Who spin-off, that completely ignores The Doctor (despite painting themselves into a corner with the concept of bi-generation) to concentrate instead on members of UNIT and mankind in general when Homo Aqua ("we used to call them Sea Devils, but we're better than that now") dramatically make themselves known.

Starts strong, but does flounder (pun intended) a bit towards the back end of the series.

In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.

So, truth: I wasn't happy with how this book ended... and it's the last in the series!!! There are so many open-ended plot holes that were never answered. And there was a weird twist with one of the secondary characters that I wasn't expecting... it left somewhat of an odd taste in my mouth.......

But there is some good news! Day is working on a kinda spin-off series that is supposedly going to answer some of the questions and plot holes left unanswered. So we shall see.

This was a great series to pass time. An easy viewing, full of comedic lines and dark humour. Some of which was relatable, however worth watching the series 'Children's Hospital' first, as Medical Police is a spin off from that series. To make sense of the series, as when I saw a Doctor dressed as as a weird clown, I couldn't make sense why. It wasn't very clear and I had to Google it to make sense of it. However I would highly recommend this series to have a laugh. I would consider this series similar to that of 'Scrubs'. The actors were great together and storyline although sometimes lengthy leading to a bore at times, it was also gripping and exciting, as well as hilarious!

Spin-off from <i>The Lost Fleet</i> series, with this taking place after the events off/concurrently with those of [b:The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier Dreadnaught|9676849|The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier Dreadnaught (The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier, #1)|Jack Campbell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1388524088s/9676849.jpg|14564728] (and it's sequels).

Following the defeat of the Syndicate Worlds at the hands of 'Black Jack' Geary, more and more former Syndicate Worlds are rising up against their old masters - this novel concentrating on one such world, that of Midway.

However, neither former CEOs Artur Drakon or Gwen Iceni are sure if they can trust the other ...

As a spin-off, this introduces almost-entirely new characters, along with some mentioned in passing, or who have had a small role in previous novels. It also makes occasional reference to those earlier novels - particularly to 'Black Jack' Geary himself and some of his actions, even though he is entirely absent from the story.

This was a very interesting story. it is apparently the spin-off of another series by Phoebe but you didn't have to read that series to understand this one. Some of the characters I did feel like there was a background I didn't know but it wasn't confusing or interfeering with the story for me. I loved these characters and I loved Paisley because she was a big, strong, amazing woman who had some insecurities and a dark past that Calvin had to fight to get through. He was amazing and strong and wonderful and sexy. I loved this story

To Covet The Fae

To Covet The Fae is the first book in the spin off series, The Kincaid Wolves. As such, it involves characters and places that we have already met. Although you could read this as a standalone, to get the full benefit I would recommend reading the Deathless Night series first. Plus the fact, they are wonderful books so it will be no hardship, I assure you.

Heather is Grace's friend and has come with her from China to Seattle. However, there is more to her than meets the eye as Brock finds out when she is taken unwillingly to meet with "the Prince". Through certain machinations, Brock and Heather find themselves separated in a different dimension, with only the toss of a coin to guide them.

This is well-written, with no editing or grammatical errors. However, as the first of a series, even a spin-off, there is a lot of groundwork that has to be laid. Also, it helps to provide the build up to the future books. This looks like it is going to be a series just as hot as the Deathless Nights, and so I have no hesitation in recommending it!

* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *
