Book Blitz | In Command

~ Angela (pooled ink Reviews) ~ Leave a comment

I was beyond thrilled to have received an eARC for IN COMMAND, an Aunare Chronicles novella, so when the offer came to participate in the book blitz it was a no brainer. I read this whole novella in a single sitting and if you have yet to hear about this series then please keep reading this post! The Aunare Chronicles is full of sci-fi action, spaceships, aliens, dystopian chaos, romance, and characters you will love or hate. To be frank, I wasn’t sure if I’d be into this series when the first book dropped, but oh was I mistaken. It is SO GOOD. Keep reading for more on the novella, the series, my reviews, the author, plus check out an excerpt and enter the giveaway!
