  • Horrorstor

    Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix

    RECOMMENDED: Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix is $3.99 at most vendors and $3.82 at Amazon! This is a dark comedy/horror novel about a haunted IKEA-esque store. Carrie reviewed the book a few months ago and gave it an A:

    Even in the darkest moments, the absurdity of the situation adds some sardonic humor. It’s hard not to giggle at a line like “They nailed me inside a Liripip” or a scenario in which someone’s survival depends on disassembling cheap furniture with one of those weird Allen wrench things.

    Something strange is happening at the Orsk furniture superstore in Cleveland. Every morning, employees arrive to find broken Kjerring wardrobes, shattered Brooka glassware, and vandalized Liripip sofa beds – clearly someone, or something, is up to no good. To unravel the mystery, five young employees volunteer for a long dusk-till-dawn shift and encounter horrors that defy imagination. Along the way, author Grady Hendrix infuses sly social commentary on the nature of work in the new twenty-first-century economy.

    A traditional haunted house story in a contemporary setting, and full of current fears, Horrorstör delivers a high-concept premise in a unique style.

  • The Best Kind of Trouble

    The Best Kind of Trouble by Lauren Dane

    The Best Kind of Trouble by Lauren Dane is 99c! This is book 1 of the Hurley brothers series, and is about a former rock star and a librarian in a small town who once upon a time had a serious fling with him – which she’d prefer he didn’t bring up. (That never works out the way they want, right?) This book has a 3.85-star average. And right now, all three books in the series can be grabbed for less than $6!

    She has complete control…and he’s determined to take it away

    A librarian in the small town of Hood River, Natalie Clayton’s world is very nearly perfect. After a turbulent childhood and her once-wild ways, life is now under control. But trouble has a way of turning up unexpectedly—especially in the tall, charismatically sexy form of Paddy Hurley….

    And Paddy is the kind of trouble that Natalie has a taste for.

    Even after years of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, Paddy never forgot the two wickedly hot weeks he once shared with Natalie. Now he wants more…even if it means tempting Natalie and her iron-grip control. But there’s a fine line between well-behaved and misbehaved—and the only compromise is between the sheets!

  • A is for Alibi

    A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton

    A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton is $2.99 at Amazon and I’m so hoping this deal lasts! It’d be even better if it gets price matched. My mom was addicted to this series and I remember her collecting each book. She had the first few in paperback, so she would always wait for the paperback editions to come out. God forbid she had one in hardcover and the rest in softcover. These mysteries are huge favorites for some, but others found the books have to too much filler. If you’re looking to digitize your collection or just want to binge, the first four books are $2.99 each!

    When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his passing. A prominent divorce attorney with a reputation for single-minded ruthlessness on behalf of his clients, Fife was also rumored to be a dedicated philanderer. Plenty of people in the picturesque southern California town of Santa Teresa had a reason to want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, Nikki. With motive, access, and opportunity, Nikki was their number-one suspect. The jury thought so, too.

    Eight years later and out on parole, Niki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed her late husband.

    A trail that is eight years cold. A trail that reaches out to enfold a bitter, wealthy, and foul-mouthed old woman and a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted. A trail that leads to a lawyer defensively loyal to a dead partner–and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to an ex-wife, brave, lucid, lovely–and still angry over Fife’s betrayal of her; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for too few skills–and too many debts left owing: The trail twists to include them all, with Millhone following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she finds herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.

  • Against the Cage

    Against the Cage by Sidney Halston

    Against the Cage by Sidney Halston is on sale for 99c at most vendors! However, some places still have it for $2.99, which I think is the full price. That being said, $2.99 still isn’t bad. There’s a lot of catnip in this book: cop hero who is also an MMA fighter, the heroine is the sister of the hero’s best friend, and the heroine has crushed on the hero since they were teens. Some readers had some complaints about the heroine and her actions in the book, but others found the hero positively adorable. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

    For Chrissy Martin, returning to her Florida hometown always seems to bring bad luck. The day starts with a breakup text, followed by a jailhouse phone call from her troublemaker brother. Now a routine traffic stop has ended with her accidentally punching an officer . . . in a delicate place. Then Chrissy realizes that the hot cop on the receiving end of her right hook is none other than the man from her teenage fantasies.

    Jack Daniels knows how to take a hit. After all, when he’s not chasing reckless drivers, he’s kicking ass in a mixed martial arts ring. So what takes his breath away isn’t the low blow, but the woman who dealt it: a gorgeous knockout with legs Jack wouldn’t mind being pinned under—who just so happens to be his best friend’s nerdy little sister, all grown up. Soon their instant chemistry leads to a sizzling affair, but Jack and Chrissy are fighting an uphill battle if they want to make love last beyond the final bell.

    A Gentleman Undone by Cecilia Grant is 0.99 at BN & Amazon.

  2. Karenmc says:

    The early Grafton books were just my catnip, but by the time we hit the middle of the alphabet, Kinsey Milhone hadn’t matured a whit, whereas I had. I was forced to break up with her.

  3. Samanda says:

    I too loved the first few Grafton books. But a big part of that was that I was living in Santa Barbara at the time and it was fun to figure out where all the locations were. By the time I moved back to Canada and the series had moved to the middle of the alphabet, the shine wore off and I stopped buying the books. I still have fond memories of sitting under a palm tree with book and tall, cool drink, but somehow it’s just not the same under an arbutus tree–even with the drink.

  4. Christina McPants says:

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who had to have a matching set of softcover vs. hardcover. I also remember the luxury of realizing that I had money (I’d had a $17,000 leap in salary and was now living slightly above the poverty line) that I could afford to buy hardcovers of new books from my favorite authors instead of getting them from the library (after the waitlist) and then waiting for them to come out in paperback.

  5. LizoftheFields says:

    So I recently tried to read my first ever Lauren Dane book, Goddess of the Blade, since I always hear people raving about her. Honestly, I thought it was one of the most terribly written books I’ve read in recent memory. The dialogue especially was so repetitive, fragmented, and lacking in any grammar or consistent punctuation that I couldn’t make it past the first 20 pages. Is there something wrong with me?

  6. Amanda says:

    @LizoftheFields: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you! I’m more partial to her erotic/contemporary novels than her urban fantasy/paranormal stuff. I thought her Federation Chronicles series got off to an okay start, but for me, the books got better and better. The first book is a scifi, menage romance. But both that series and Goddess with a Blade are her earlier books. Meanwhile, the Hurley Boys series is more current and it’s contemporary. I can personally see the difference in her writing from her books that were published seven or eight years ago. Also, her Ink & Chrome series has been reviewed really favorably here at the site.

    Hope that helps!

  7. DonnaMarie says:

    @Christina, I agree with Amanda. Goddess With A Blade is a really early work for her and, while I hear the books get better as the series go on, I recently tried to read it and just couldn’t, OTOH, you’d have to remove her Brown Sibling books from my cold dead hands – especially the first two; Laid Bare and Coming Undone. I <3 Brody Brown so bad.

  8. Vicki says:

    I also broke up with Grafton somewhere around G. However, I wandered back somewhere around N or O and found that I was able to get back in and enjoy.

  9. KF says:

    @LizoftheFields – no, there’s nothing wrong with you! I totally agree with DonnaMarie about the Brown siblings books, Brody is easily in my top 5 romance dudes… but I was really disappointed by the Hurley series. I thought the writing was awkward with soooo much exposition (show not tell!), the dialogue made me cringe and I found the heroines indistinguishable from each other – their voices seemed really similar.

    TBH I thought the problems started appearing somewhere after the Brown siblings books, during the series with Gillian’s friends which I cannot remember the name of, and have gotten more obvious as the series went on. I haven’t gone back to re-read the Brown books in a while in case I’m wrong and the issues I had with the Hurley books were always present and I just didn’t realise at the time.
