  • The Bees

    The Bees by Laline Paull

    RECOMMENDEDThe Bees by Laline Paull is $1.99! I LOVED this book. Margaret Atwood, whom I worship like a saint, tweeted about the book, calling it a mix between a Cinderella story and an Arthurian tale. I knew I had to read it. On GoodReads, I gave it a 4-star rating and a mini review:

    This book was unlike anything I’ve read before, and I found it both unique and mesmerizing. However, the last fifty pages seemed to lack the care and craft of the ones before it. The ending was over in a rush and I felt Flora’s story should have continued on with more detail. Regardless, I was impressed with Paull’s storytelling and her ability to make bee life interesting.

    Also, it’s legitimately about bees. Like bees that think and talk and exist in their strange bee society. It so weird, but so good. That’s all I can say.

    The Handmaid’s Tale meets The Hunger Games in this brilliantly imagined debut set in an ancient culture where only the queen may breed and deformity means death.

    Flora 717 is a sanitation worker, a member of the lowest caste in her orchard hive where work and sacrifice are the highest virtues and worship of the beloved Queen the only religion. But Flora is not like other bees. With circumstances threatening the hive’s survival, her curiosity is regarded as a dangerous flaw but her courage and strength are an asset. She is allowed to feed the newborns in the royal nursery and then to become a forager, flying alone and free to collect pollen. She also finds her way into the Queen’s inner sanctum, where she discovers mysteries about the hive that are both profound and ominous.

    But when Flora breaks the most sacred law of all—daring to challenge the Queen’s fertility—enemies abound, from the fearsome fertility police who enforce the strict social hierarchy to the high priestesses jealously wedded to power. Her deepest instincts to serve and sacrifice are now overshadowed by an even deeper desire, a fierce maternal love that will bring her into conflict with her conscience, her heart, her society—and lead her to unthinkable deeds.

    Thrilling, suspenseful and spectacularly imaginative, The Bees gives us a dazzling young heroine and will change forever the way you look at the world outside your window.

  • Night Reigns

    Night Reigns by Diane Duvall

    Night Reigns by Diane Duvall is $1.99! This is the second book in her Immortal Guardians paranormal romance series. The book opens with her heroine saving the hero’s ass, which is pretty darn cool. Readers seem to like this book better than the first, saying that the romance has more growth and tension. A few had issues with how the last quarter of the book unfolded, but I won’t be giving out any spoilers!  It has a 4.2-star rating on GR.

    Ami isn’t much for trusting strangers. She has a hard time trusting anyone. But she’s no coward, and she’s no pushover in the protection department either. So when she comes across a mysterious warrior taking on eight deranged vampires on his own, she doesn’t hesitate to save his bacon. Of course, that was before she realized what one little rescue would get her into. . .

    Marcus Graden has been an Immortal protector of humanity for eight hundred years, and he’s not interested in backup. From the moment Ami arrives in his life, he can’t deny that she’s strong, smart, and extremely skilled at watching his back. But she’s also destroying his protective solitude and stirring desires he can’t bear to awaken. After all, whatever her secrets–how can she defeat death itself?

  • Red Rising

    Red Rising by Pierce Brown

    Red Rising by Pierce Brown is $1.99! This is the first book in the Red Rising Trilogy, a scifi young adult novel about inhabitants on Mars and the humans sent there as a means of escaping Earth. A lot of the comments on GR seem to argue between the writing and the plot. Some were confused by the latter, but many loved Brown’s way with words. Although it has a 4.1-star rating on GR, does anyone want to weight in on this one?

    The Earth is dying. Darrow is a Red, a miner in the interior of Mars. His mission is to extract enough precious elements to one day tame the surface of the planet and allow humans to live on it. The Reds are humanity’s last hope.

    Or so it appears, until the day Darrow discovers it’s all a lie. That Mars has been habitable – and inhabited – for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down on Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought.

    Until the day that Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their command school, intent on taking down his oppressors from the inside. But the command school is a battlefield – and Darrow isn’t the only student with an agenda.

  • Once Bitten, Twice Burned

    Once Bitten, Twice Burned by Cynthia Eden

    Once Bitten, Twice Burned by Cynthia Eden is $2.99! The second book in Eden’s Phoenix Fire series, this is a paranormal romance. The hero is a vampire who’s been captured by a crazy scientist and the heroine is meant to be his meal. Pretty interesting setup. Some readers didn’t like this hero as much as they liked the hero of the first book, but many seem to enjoy the world Eden has created. A few reviews also mention that this can be read as a standalone without much confusion. Any fans of Eden’s paranormal romances out there?

    Blood–And Lust

    Ryder Duncan keeps his secrets. With a twisted scientist starving him in a 10 x 12 cell, it’s not easy to conceal the abilities that set him apart from other vampires, or his plans for escape. But survival–and revenge–are worth waiting for. Until the so-called doctor tempts his appetites with something special: a woman, with a soft Southern accent and a scent like flowers. Sabine.

    Sabine Acadia didn’t volunteer to be dinner. She was kidnapped and tossed into the cage of a monster. A monster with fierce green eyes, a body that speaks of ruthless power–but a touch gentle as a caress. Ryder knows things about her, secrets Sabine needs to learn fast. Because while they might soon escape this prison, she’s fighting an urge to set all her desires free. . .

    I liked Red Rising very much. I guess I was never confused by the plot. The writing is fantastic. Loved the narrator’s voice and the sci-fi elements. The Battlefield school part dragged a tiny bit for me, but otherwise I found the story gripping. I recently read an arc of the next in the series coming out next month, Golden Son, and I LOVED it. It’s more politics and action and the ending killed me (cliffhanger!).

  2. Jess says:

    Red Rising was one of my favorite books this year. I was completely consumed by it. Golden Son can’t come soon enough!

  3. sarita says:

    I’m intrigued by the bee one. It’s an ongoing pet peeve of mine the way pop culture depictions of bees never acknowledge that they’re almost all female. Ants too. So it’s nice to see someone getting it right.
