Digging for Heaven has everything you’re looking for in an introduction to a new series: great world building, loveable characters and just the right amount of mystery to keep you going without being too cliche. The chemistry between the two main characters is convincing, not only thanks to the engaging writing style. Looking forward to the second book!
Starter Villain by John Scalzi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
The writing style is not really my cup of tea and I found the protagonist awfully dull and annoying. Right from the start, the plot didn’t really add up which made the book even less enjoyable.
