My First Star Trek Tie-in Novel

So, I read my first Star Trek tie-in novel, it was Dreams of Ravens by Carmen Carter, and have to say I really enjoyed it. It was very character driven with spurts of action, plus a bit of a mystery mixed in. It was focused on McCoy, who was one of my faves from the original series, and on the Kirk-McCoy friendship. There was also an original character, Dr Diana Dyson, which I really liked, but I checked the wiki and this is the only novel she appears in, which is too bad, she had a great relationship with McCoy.

I have heard the tie-in novels can be hit or miss, have you read any of the other tie-in novels? Any you can recommend?  I am familiar with TOS, TNG and VOY.
