Indigo, the Deep is the third installment in Kellye Abernathy’s Yellow Cottage series, and the third time I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in one of her stories.
I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.
Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.
Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

Michele sent me.
Don’t like ants, spiders, roaches or those flying little tiny moths that get into the pantry. Spray away!
Not the time of year for ants in the UK. I agree, though, it takes such a long time to shoo them outdoors individually.
Here today via Michele’s – Hiya!

Have you tried using boric acid? It works really well on roaches, and okay on ants. They recommend mixing it with sugar or jelly for ants (putting it outside I assume) so they’ll be attracted to it. The acid is nontoxic for humans and animals, but eats through bug carapace pretty easily. :)
er, nontoxic so long as you don’t actually eat it in quantity. our cats have never bothered with it.
I’m with you on this one! I HATE ants!!! I too am an ant murderer any chance I get. Perhaps I’ll have tshirts made declaring such :)
I’m with you on ants, Melissa. I like to watch them outside but when they come inside the gloves come off. I’ve got all sorts of chemicals for their “enjoyment” and I’m not hesitant about using them!
