Well, Ill start by saying this was a little too geeky for me. Thats not to say it wasnt a good story but all the references to Firefly and other TV programs Ive never watched put me off a little.

I read a book for the romance, which Im sure Ive mentioned before somewhere, and I enjoyed the spark the characters had. The way they dont realise they know each other (even if it is through a game) but are drawn to each other right from the first contact. They clicked right away and theres a scene involving a shower which made me smile.

I did enjoy it; Pen was hands on when it came to defending herself and Cal being slightly geeky made a change to the usual books I read where theyre attractive, tattooed and arrogant.

Its definitely for those who enjoy comics, online-gaming, cosplay and conventions.
