Hello dear reader(s) and welcome to another instalment of Nessa reads books and writes reviews (NRBWR). Today I’m going to introduce you to one of my favourite SF adventure series written by Mike Brooks. Brook’s Keiko Series so far consist of 3 books: Dark Run, Dark Sky and Dark Deeds and hopefully more are coming. *fingers crossed* If you’re wondering what this series is all about here’s a best one-liner explanation that I’ve read in this BookRiot article:
If Firefly and The Expanse had a love-child, it would read something like Brooks’ Keiko novels.

S obzirom da je 2016. prijestupna godina veljača dobiva još jedan dan za svoju prevrtljivost. No usprkos svemu i ovaj mjesec donosim listu stvari koje su mi život činile boljim. A kako sam ovaj mjesec dosta čitala to će uglavnom biti knjige. Neću vam prepričavati sadržaje knjiga, već ću staviti linkove na Goodreads ili Amazon, tako da tamo možete pročitat kratak sadržaj svega što vas zanima bez da ga ja masakriram ili nedajb[l]ože spojlam. 😀 Recenzije će više bit orijentirane na moj dojam i komentare, a znate kako već ide kad ja krenem o nečem pričat. Uzmite grickalice, piće po želji, udobno se smjestite i nastavite čitat.
