From the author of the best-selling Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood series comes a tough new heroine who is far more than she seems. Junkyard Cats is the first in a new novella series.

After the Final War, after the appearance of the Bug aliens and their enforced peace, Shining Smith is still alive, still doing business from the old scrapyard bequeathed to her by her father. But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets that she has guarded for years.

This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe. Until the only friend left from her previous life shows up, dead, in the back of a scrapped Tesla warplane. Clutched in her cold fingers is a note to Shining—warning her of a coming attack.

With dread, Shining realizes: Someone knows who she is. Someone knows what she is guarding. Will she be able to protect the scrapyard? Will she even survive? Or will Shining have to destroy everything she loves to keep her secrets out of the wrong hands?

Fly Girl’s Review:

This book blew me away. The story, although novella, had so much detail along with action made it feel much longer. The world building happens during the entire story giving us bits and pieces of this post apocalyptic world where biker gangs rule and nano tech has infiltrated everything. The junkyard itself is a mystery to even the inhabitants but becomes a protector out of habit.

Everyone in this story has secrets and discovering them is an experience since you discover them through interactions with other characters. This is why the action is so amazing. Then on top of the people, she gives the animals personalities and smarts unlike anything I’ve read about yet.

By the time it was over, I wanted more. I need to know more about this world and what happens to all the characters. It doesn’t leave on a cliffhanger, it just makes you need more because you get so engrossed in it. I’m giving this a 5 of 5 and it will make my Top 10 List of 2021. I hope there
