  • Moon Called

    Moon Called by Patricia Briggs

    RECOMMENDED: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs is $1.99! This is the first book in the Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series and I really loved this book. Admittedly, I’m not caught up in the series and have only read the first three or four books, so maybe someone can add some thoughts on how the series unfolds, whether good or bad. Many people love the heroine because she’s a bit of a badass. However, some people feel like the first book is a little slow.

    Mercedes “Mercy” Thompson is a talented Volkswagen mechanic living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington. She also happens to be a walker, a magical being with the power to shift into a coyote at will. Mercy’s next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she’s fixing a bus for a vampire. This is the world of Mercy Thompson, one that looks a lot like ours but is populated by those things that go bump in the night. And Mercy’s connection to those things is about to get her into some serious hot water…

  • Love on My Mind

    Love on My Mind by Tracey Livesay

    RECOMMENDED: Love on My Mind by Tracey Livesay is 99c! The heroine is amazing and I really loved her characterization. So much competence porn! However, some readers felt the details about software development were inaccurate. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

    Successful PR executive Chelsea Grant is one assignment away from making partner at her firm and nothing will stand in her way. Her big break? Turn a reclusive computer genius into a media darling in time for his new product launch. He may have been dubbed the “sexiest geek alive” but he has no patience for the press—and it shows. Piece of cake, right? Only problem is… his company doesn’t want him to know they hired her.

    After a disastrous product launch two years ago, tech CEO Adam Bennett knows the success of his new device depends on the media’s support. When a twist of fate brings the beautiful PR specialist to his door, Adam hires Chelsea to help turn his image around. Their attraction is undeniable and the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep things professional.

    But when Adam discovers Chelsea’s deception, will she risk everything for her career or is love the real thing on her mind?

  • Ten

    Ten by Gretchen McNeil

    Ten by Gretchen McNeil is $1.99! This is a YA mystery/thriller with some horror thrown in, and it’s a retelling of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Some readers weren’t too keen on the writing style, but many thought this was a great addition to the YA horror/thriller genre, which people seem to want more of in general.

    SHHHH!
    Don’t spread the word!
    Three-day weekend. Party at White Rock House on Henry Island.
    You do NOT want to miss it.

    It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their reasons for being there (which involve T.J., the school’s most eligible bachelor) and look forward to three glorious days of boys, booze and fun-filled luxury.

    But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.

    Suddenly people are dying, and with a storm raging, the teens are cut off from the outside world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn’t scheduled to return for two days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?

  • Petal Plucker

    Petal Plucker by Iris Morland

    Petal Plucker by Iris Morland is 99c! This is book one in The Flower Shop Sisters series and recently had an update to its cover. I prefer the previous one rather than the illustrated one. This is an enemies to lovers romance with dueling flower shops. I’m very curious about this one, but all the twee puns in the description have put me off.

    The man I hate might be the first one to pluck my petals…

    Confession: I, Dandelion “Dani” Wright, am twenty-six years old and have yet to be deflowered. No man has hosed my hyacinth. Fondled my freesia. Diddled my daffodil.

    You get the point.

    My excuse?

    I was too busy running my family’s flower shop and winning floral design competitions.

    Suddenly that whole pesky virginity thing becomes a big deal when Jacob West walks back into my life. The boy I once loved. The same boy who humiliated me when he stood me up for prom.

    This Jacob is no boy, though: he’s all man now—confident, charming, and so sexy my metaphorical blossoms are getting scorched. I can almost forget I’m supposed to hate him forever. Almost.

    To make things worse, he’s my main competition now, since he took over his parents’ flower shop. If I give into this sizzling attraction between us, it could jeopardize everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve.

    But if I’m not careful, he might not just be the first man to pluck my petals—he might also be the only man to capture my heart.

    I love everything Patricia Briggs writes. Mercy Thompson is one of my favorite series, surpassed just slightly by the intermingled Alpha & Omega series. Read them both, read them all. If you like paranormal/urban fantasy, I highly recommended them.

  2. NomadiCat says:

    The Mercy Thompson books are soooooo incredibly good. The series (and its characters) grow and evolve in totally realistic yet awesome ways. It manages to be incredibly well grounded in the modern world, like Mercy having to run her business and the Pack loving video games as a non-violent competitive outlet. Yet it’s also the most diverse and creative urban fantasy series out there, combining people and magical creatures from everywhere into something unique and fascinating. Plus, the continuity, worldbuilding, and side characters are all rock solid.

    BIG CONTENT WARNING: Mercy is raped in book 3. It’s graphic but emphatically NOT titillating or in any way sexualized. Mercy gets PTSD from the incident and the way it impacts her and everyone who knows her in different ways is wonderfully handled in successive books.

    I don’t love the rape, and I tend to skip over that part when I re-read these books every 6 months or so. But to be honest the way Briggs handles Mercy’s rape and PTSD is one of the reasons I love the series so fiercely. Mercy is firmly and emphatically supported by her community and the people who love her. She is given time and space to heal her own way. And she still has trauma echoes and twinges in book 12. It’a honestly the most respectful, realistic, and positive depiction of someone living with these kinds of scars that I’ve ever seen.

  3. Kit says:

    Petal plucker sounds a bit like a certain limerick about a pheasant plucker! (I won’t repeat it hear). Thanks for the content warning for Mercy, sounds like it’s in context with the plot and well handled.

  4. Chris K says:

    SPOILER for moon called Patricia Briggs

    Adam is a republican. You find out late in the series and it ruined everything for me. Also some very weird stuff with bran that I just can’t with. Also TW for rape in series.

  5. Kareni says:

    I’ll add my vote for the Mercy books by Patricia Briggs. Like Laurel, I actually favor her Alpha and Omega series.

  6. Sandra says:

    Adding to @Chris K comments. Dear Author has a review for the most recent book that goes into greater detail. Disclaimer: I haven’t read past book 6 or so. I really liked the early books but got behind when they started being published in hardcover first with inflated ebook prices, and never caught up again.

  7. Katie says:

    What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris is $1.99 on Kindle. Not sure about elsewhere. First book in a great historical mystery series (Regency). I love to read the author notes for each book, too; Harris does great research. And there is a romantic subplot.

  8. GraceElizabeth says:

    Alternative view on MOON CALLED: The weird werewolf dominance dynamics (e.g. Mercy knows looking Adam in the eye provokes him and he’s ‘forced to respond to the challenge’, etc) made me uncomfortable. But I know loads and loads of people who didn’t have that reaction, so maybe only keep in mind if you’re particularly sensitive about heroes who can be domineering.

  9. Darlynne says:

    One of my surprise reads last year was Hart Hanson’s THE DRIVER, which is on sale at Amazon for $1.99. The author was a writer for BONES, the tv series, so it seemed worth a try as I liked the show. What a find!

    Initially, it felt like a guy movie–former Special Forces (iirc) turned limousine driver–but the payoff was tremendous. Fully-realized characters about whom I cared so much, and funny in an understated way. I hope there’s a sequel because I want more of this crew, especially the armed services veterans who work on the cars in the shop. CW: some scenes are fairly violent.

  10. Lulinke says:

    I liked the first couple of books well enough to reread but just couldn’t stick with them. Every so often I pick up the later books but I haven’t been able to finish them. Funny, opposite of Seanan McGuire – didn’t care for the first few but was bored so kept going back to them and love the later ones.

  11. WS says:

    Re: Mercy Thompson.

    To be fair, Kennewick and Richland skew very Republican. (Can’t speak for Pasco.). Lots of Trump supporters. So, it’s not inaccurate for the region, and Briggs does live there. (My parents know her.). I don’t know her personal politics, but Eastern Washington is politically *very* different from Western Washington. Kennewick used to be a sundown town.

    Something to keep firmly in mind when labeling Washington as a blue state.

    (I ditched the series after the third book; I don’t need my heroines raped. Also, I loathe the way werewolf packs are portrayed in general with rigid hierarchies. Real wolves aren’t like that.)

  12. Deianira says:

    Add me to the list who ditched the Mercy Thompson series after the rape. Life is short, I am old(ish), & I don’t need rape in my entertainment, no matter how well it’s handled. Also not here for the domineering hierarchies, especially those excused by “but it’s WOLVES!”

    Ending on a positive note, I one-clicked “Ten”. I’m always here for an “And Then There Were None” adaptation.

  13. Jazzlet says:

    I went on reading longer than the third Mercy Thompson book, but I have two on my TBR pile. Mercy doesn’t seem to have any female friends^, and the one I haven’t got round to starting in several years* has Adam’s ex-wife turn up wanting Adam back and I am sure it will be the evil ex trope, which would really piss me off.

    ^Thinking about it I don’t think any of her female heroines have female friends …

    *To be fair I’ve been fairly ill for a lot of that time and often simply unable to take any conflict in books which has really messed with reding anything, after all what story has no conflict?

  14. Crystal F. says:

    I’m definitely one of those who thought ‘Moon Called’ was too slow. That, and urban fantasy with vampires and the like just really isn’t my catnip.

    And I heard what happened to her later on, I decided not to continue on with the series. (Then again, I’m still reading the Outlander books, so I reserve the right to call myself out on my own hypocrisy.)
