What Reviewers and Readers Say About My Books
GABRIEL'S GHOST (2006 RITA Award Winner):
"Readers have come to expect the extraordinary from author Linnea Sinclair, but GABRIEL'S GHOST still exceeds all expectations! With the vision and texture of a poet, the heart of warrior, and the skill of a master, Sinclair creates a world of psychic gifts and shape shifters, of dangers beyond imagination and love beyond question...readers will be absolutely blown away by this fabulous tale."
--Cindy Penn, Midwest Book Review
FINDERS KEEPERS (2006 RITA Award Finalist):
"FINDERS KEEPERS by Linnea Sinclair takes romantic sci-fi to an all new level—a book that’s equally balanced in the amount of science fiction, fantasy, high-tech gadgetry, plot, and romantic subplot. A wonderful book... not to be missed."
--Jennifer Wardrip for Romance Junkies Reviews
“Linnea Sinclair just gets better and better! GAMES OF COMMAND , her latest science fiction romance, features not one but two sexy, dangerous heroes, along with two strong, capable women and two fabulous furry furzels. Sinclair whips her characters through a story that is as exciting and action packed as it is passionate. GAMES OF COMMAND is not to be missed.” --Mary Jo Putney, author of The Marriage Spell and Stolen Magic
"Excellent, strong, feline companions. Four paws up!" -- Zanth, hero of HeartMate by Robin D. Owens
"AN ACCIDENTAL GODDESS proves once again why Sinclair is one of the reigning queens of science fiction romance...This is a book readers can hand to non-SF fans and say, 'Try it. You'll like it.' And they will...provided they enjoy bright, attractive characters, an interesting plot, action, adventure, humor and romance."
--Penny Kenny for STARLOG magazine

TOP PICK! 4 -1/2 STARS! for THE DOWN HOME ZOMBIE BLUES:
"Quirky, offbeat and packed with gritty action, this blistering novel explodes out of the gate and never looks back. Counting on Sinclair to provide top-notch science fiction elaborately spiced with romance and adventure is a given, but she really aces this one! A must-read, by an author who never disappoints."
--Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine
