The world has changed. Ten years ago, Earth nearly crumbled beneath the might of an intergalactic War. Their Enemy fought them with their destructive psychokinetic powers. Only a band of extraordinary humans stood in their path. They were known as the Gemini Order. Led by Shylah McKay, they saved Earth from ruination.

Now, Shylah McKay and her kind are being persecuted for the very talents that saved Earth. But Shylah's a mover and a shaker, and with her lover Grayson by her side, she'll go to the ends of the Earth and beyond to fight for her people.

First Review for Do Or Die and it's received a top rated Rose at Romance Reader at Heart!

Mathews creates a great Bogey and Bacall romance for Shylah and Grayson, who despite their seeming ability to do anything and get anywhere at the drop of a hat—she hates how cramped up she gets in her hover car during the 10 minutes it takes to get from a friend's pub in Ireland to her family's mansion in Vermont—they are deathly afraid that the other person will realize how unworthy they are of their love and break off their relationship. They are both so dedicated to the other, but so insecure at the same time. The one thing that makes for an interesting adventure is that several of the characters are not who they are supposed to be. There are impersonators, of both specific people as well as people just trying to hide their identities. And in order to accomplish several things, Grayson needs to inhabit other people's bodies. At one point, I felt like I'd get whiplash looking from character to character, trying to untangle who everybody really was. Many of the secondary characters and their situations are even funnier than those of Grayson (who sounds very British to me) and Shylah, who kicks ass first and asks questions later if she feels like it.

DO OR DIE is a terrific mélange of mystery, intrigue, romance, and betrayal all set in the future which enables people to be anything the author can contrive. Readers who enjoy a little chocolate with their peanut butter—Sci-Fi with romance—will find this couple endearing and cheer them on throughout their exploits. Susan Barton, Romance Reader at Heart

Do Or Die is a phenomenal science fiction read by Marly Mathews. I simply loved this story. It was a little different having the hero and heroine already together at the beginning of the story, but it didn't diminish the romance in the least. Also, they had obstacles to overcome, both he as a ghost, and the looming battle ahead. I loved the interaction with all of the secondary characters, and would be thrilled to return to this world again. Kathy Andrico - KathysReviewCorner.com, Link to full review.

From the very beginning, Do or Die is packed with fantastic action. There is a surprise around every corner and a few that will take you completely by surprise. Interspersed with several sweetly sensual love scenes, the story develops at a rapid pace, dragging you further in with every page.

Much more than just a love story Do or Die is a story of true friendship and coming together against all odds. Set on an Earth vastly different but eerily familiar to the one we know and love, the interplanetary tensions and prejudices are more similar to our lives today than we'd ever care to admit. A great romance coupled with a life lesson so many still need to learn. Cholla - The Long and Short of It Reviews Link to full review.

Marly Mathews tells a compelling tale that hooks you from the first page with its intricate world building and a couple oozing in sizzling chemistry. If you are like me, then you will be rooting for Shylah to win and to find that happily ever after with Grayson. Oh, wait, he is dead. Will death be overtaken by life? You'll have to find out in DO OR DIE. Patti Fischer-Romance Reviews Today Link to full review.
