Historical Fantasy: The Arrow of Artemis Trilogy
2019 GCLS Goldie Finalist
"I must declare that The Arrow of Artemis series is dear to my heart and I will never forget these amazing and phenomenal Amazon women.
- TLR
"5 stars. What a fantastic, beautiful, and emotional end to this wonderful trilogy. Kyri finally returns home and the reunion is so bittersweet because she has PTSD. Of course it’s never called that but that’s what it is and I think Aten did an amazing job at handling it with so much care. It was hard watching Kyri, a character who is usually so strong be so broken like that but the way the other Amazons and Ori were there to support her was beautiful. This was definitely the heaviest of the three but it was also my favorite even when it was kicking me in the feels. The ending was great and was a hard earned HEA for Kyri. I’m so sad that this series is over but it was absolutely fantastic and each book was better than the last."

Sci-Fi Steampunk: The Mystery of the Makers Trilogy

All of that is to say, if you pick up Synthetica, keep an open mind, and read it through to the end! Everything will make sense in time, and honestly, this book had the best ‘pay off’ of any novel I’ve read in a very long time. If you enjoy romance novels that are plot driven and thought provoking, Remember Me, Synthetica might be the book for you!

Remember Me, Synthetica
"All the feels! Last Scion of Ra accomplishes everything it sets out to do, establishing a little universe to play in that feels real and important. Then tries to devastate us with the feels." - Life-long Gamer, Amazon
"An omniscient narrator gives an old-school comics feel to the story."

"God, I am still reeling from this. This trilogy really deserves a movie. For crying out loud, it's sooo much better than the shite fantasy Hollywood has produced in the last 10 years. It has been a glorious ride with Castellan and Olivienne and my heart is breaking when I know this is the last book. But could be more happy of how it turned out. Simply beautiful!!! Hurray to Psiere and to future sovereigns!" - Rhiannon, Goodreads
"The blending of science fiction and romance with superheros was done well. It avoided the anxiety tropes and had our heroines talk about their feelings instead of guessing and misinterpreting things." - A. Ratka, Amazon
"Epic Story. This story is everything I wished for and honestly I’m heartbroken it ended. I truly hope there is a sequel or six so we can follow the adventures of Kaelen, Leah and their found family.
Brilliant read and I highly recommend it." - Louise, Amazon

Fantasy: A Myth World Novel
"The friendship and comradery between the 3 main characters, of Ellys, her steed Rocc, and Aderri is truly touching and beautiful. Ellys is jovial in her own right, and Aderri is a beautiful flirt. Rocc is wise and self important lol. It's just a joy to read, and I find myself not wanting to leave this world."

"Emotional rollercoaster is the perfect metaphor. But again: with Aten there are no tropes about a big drama-breaking point for both characters. The romance is safe and as reader I just want to cuddle both women, take away the pain and give them a bright and carefree future. I love this."

Paranormal: Blood Resonance series
"I really enjoyed the first book in the series, ‘Running From Forever’, but this is even better. I highly recommend it."

Paranormal Blend
"What a beautiful story! At first, I had a hard time with how angry Jess was. The author did a great job leading the reader to understand why Jess was hurting and had walls built up to protect herself. I enjoyed watching Jess transform into loving herself, loving life and loving the many wonderful things life has to offer. While reading the book, I was looking for a twist and the author took it to a place that I was not expecting. I loved how the author explored unexplained phenomenons from our world and universe. I also enjoyed how K. Aten brought in other characters from additional books they have written. Now, I am going to re-read “The Last Scion of Ra” - another book by K. Aten who is by far my favorite author!"
- Peggy, Amazon
"I have never highlighted passages from a book more than I have with this one. It also took me way too longer to remember where I've heard some of the other names in the book and realize it was from the author's other books. GG K. Aten."
- Aqualoon, Goodreads
Rom Com
"Romantic comedies are my favorite ‘go to books’ and this story definitely hits the spot! I really got a kick out of the unusual situation that caused Jamie and Kelsey to meet up....I just love a story with resilient women, humorous mishaps on the job and pets with attitude!"
