Firelight by Kristen Callihan is $2.99 digitally.
Miranda Ellis is a woman tormented. Plagued since birth by a strange and powerful gift, she has spent her entire life struggling to control her exceptional abilities. Yet one innocent but irreversible mistake has left her family's fortune decimated and forced her to wed London's most nefarious nobleman. They will burn for eternity . . .
Lord Benjamin Archer is no ordinary man. Doomed to hide his disfigured face behind masks, Archer knows it's selfish to take Miranda as his bride. Yet he can't help being drawn to the flame-haired beauty whose touch sparks a passion he hasn't felt in a lifetime. When Archer is accused of a series of gruesome murders, he gives in to the beastly nature he has fought so hard to hide from the world. But the curse that haunts him cannot be denied.
Now, to save his soul, Miranda will enter a world of dark magic and darker intrigue. For only she can see the man hiding behind the mask.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater is $2.99 digitally.
For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf–her wolf–is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without.
Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl.
In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again. Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human–or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos is $1.99.
Cornelia Brown surprised herself when she was gripped by the sudden, inescapable desire to move to the suburbs with her husband. Her mettle is quickly tested by her impeccably dressed, overly judgmental neighbor Piper Truitt—the embodiment of everything Cornelia feared she'd find in suburbia. With Lake, another recent arrival, Cornelia shares a love of literature and old movies—as she forms an instant bond with this warm yet elusive woman and her perceptive, brilliant young son Dev.
Jane Austen Made Me Do It is on sale for 4.99. It’s not the best sale price ever, but it was a lot higher (14.99?) before. Includes stories by Lauren Willig, Stephanie Barron and others.
So because now I have just given up and follow the Kindle deals tweets, I saw some of these yesterday. I bought Firelight and kind of devoured it last night. It starts off a little clunky, but not bad, and then gets really interesting, really fast. AND it has sex scenes I ACTUALLY READ. And it’s good enough I’m probably treating myself to the next in the series tonight.
Shiver is an excellent addition to the YA werewolf arena.
I agree that Firelight started off slow but was super good. I thought the sequel, Moonglow, was also really good.
So yeah, high recommend for Firelight!!
It’s too bad I always get the e-mail subscription to these posts the day after when the sale is over….
