Really, all I could think about was Mordin Solus from Mass Effect saying, "Turian based on dextro-amino acids. Human ingestion of tissue could provoke allergic reactions. Anaphylactic shock possible. So don't, ah, ingest."
In all seriousness, this was a fun and short read that had more plot than I expected. ...more

I was so excited for her story, and it did not disappoint. I loved her character and learning that there's much more to this unsuspecting cultist. Cyn, who actually has a deadly reputation, takes on a bounty with the crew of the Calamity to search for a notorious kidnapper which added a bit of mystery to this sci fi thriller. There's also a bit of spice that picks up between Cyn and Micah, the medic on the Calamity, that we started to see in book 1. Everything was so well done here - from the mystery to the character growth to the romance.
I had a lot of fun reading Calamity, and I loved Fiasco even more. This is such a fun space opera with great characters and just the right level of sci fi. Fiasco is one of those fast-paced reads that are so much fun, I tend to devour them in a couple of days. I love the characters, the unique planets, and different space stations so much, this series has quickly become one of my favorite space operas.
I don't think reading Calamity is a requirement, as Fiasco works well as a standalone, but I would recommend it for more background information on The Families and the crew of the Calamity. Plus, it's just a good read.
4.5 stars, I am so excited for book 3.

I struggled through Maniscalco's Kingdom of the Wicked series, so I wasn't even sure I would pick up this standalone. I'm so glad I did- the writing, pace, and story have improved drastically. The usual clichés are here, and I saw the twist from a mile away, but I had a lot of fun, loved the characters, and am looking forward to her next two adult books. ...more

The tropes featured are exactly what you get, including the miscommunication break up, and it was the perfect light read. Loved the familiars too!
I was a little disappointed with the deviations made to vampires and that it was a bit too fluffy for me, but I would still recommend this book for an easy and fun read.
