  • Blood of the Earth

    Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter

    Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter is 99c! This urban fantasy novel is the first in the Soulwood series, which seems to be a spin-off of Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series. It was also recommended during our SBTB Reader Recommendation Party at RT 2017. I remember because I immediately added it to be TBR pile.

    Set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Jane Yellowrock novels, an all-new series starring Nell Ingram, who wields powers as old as the earth.

    When Nell Ingram met skinwalker Jane Yellowrock, she was almost alone in the world, exiled by both choice and fear from the cult she was raised in, defending herself with the magic she drew from her deep connection to the forest that surrounds her.

    Now, Jane has referred Nell to PsyLED, a Homeland Security agency policing paranormals, and agent Rick LaFleur has shown up at Nell’s doorstep. His appearance forces her out of her isolated life into an investigation that leads to the vampire Blood Master of Nashville.

    Nell has a team—and a mission. But to find the Master’s kidnapped vassal, Nell and the PsyLED team will be forced to go deep into the heart of the very cult Nell fears, infiltrating the cult and a humans-only terrorist group before time runs out…

  • Must Love Dukes

    Must Love Dukes by Elizabeth Michels

    Must Love Dukes by Elizabeth Michels is $1.99! This historical romance is the first in the Tricks of the Tonseries and many readers loved the heroine. However, there is a warning that the historical research is a little lax and I know that’s a hot button issue here at the Pink Palace.

    The Mad Duke lean in closer, his lips gently brushing her ear, and whispered, “I dare you.”

    She Can’t Resist the Dare

    Lillian Phillips could not imagine how her quiet, simple life had come to this. Blackmailed by the Mad Duke of Thornwood into accepting one wild dare after another…all because of a pocket watch. Desperate to recover her beloved father’s pawned timepiece, Lily did something reckless and dangerous and delicious—something that led to a night she’d never forget.

    He has a Reputation for Scandal

    When Devon Grey, Duke of Thornwood, runs into a mesmerizing, intoxicating, thieving woman who literally stole from his bedchamber—with his new pocket watch—Devon plots his revenge. If the daring wench likes to play games, he’s happy to oblige. After all, what’s the ruse of being the Mad Duke if you can’t have some fun? But the last laugh might just be on him…

  • A Desperate Fortune

    A Desperate Fortune by Susanna Kearsley

    A Desperate Fortune by Susanna Kearsley is $1.99! Like Kearsley’s other books, it has strong romantic elements and dual timelines. Many readers loved Sara, a woman who’s been diagnosed with Asperger’s and takes a job as a codebreaker, but other readers found the book took a while to get going. And, in case you missed it, check out Susanna Kearsley on our podcast!

    The highly anticipated, brand-new timeslip romance from New York Times bestselling author Susanna Kearsley

    For nearly 300 years, the mysterious journal of Jacobite exile Mary Dundas has lain unread-its secrets safe from prying eyes. Now, amateur codebreaker Sara Thomas has been hired by a once-famous historian to crack the journal’s cipher.

    But when she arrives in Paris, Sara finds herself besieged by complications from all sides: the journal’s reclusive owner, her charming Parisian neighbor, and Mary, whose journal doesn’t hold the secrets Sara expects. As Mary’s tale grows more and more dire, Sara, too, must carefully choose which turning to take… to find the road that will lead her safely home.

  • Maybe This Christmas

    Maybe This Christmas by Sarah Morgan

    Maybe This Christmas by Sarah Morgan is $1.99! This is a contemporary holiday romance. The hero is a former champion skier and single dad and the heroine is his best friend. Friends-to-lovers catnip, ahoy! A few readers weren’t too fond of the hero, but many loved how the transition in the couple’s relationship was handled. It has a 4.1-star rating and is the third and final book in the O’Neil Brothers trilogy.

    This winter, ex-skiing champion, reformed heartbreaker and single dad Tyler O’Neil has only one mission—making sure his daughter, Jess, has the best Christmas ever. The fact that his best friend, Brenna, is also temporarily moving into his chalet at the overbooked Snow Crystal resort is a delicious distraction he’s simply going to have to ignore. Theirs is the one relationship he’s never ruined, and he’s not about to start now.

    Ski pro Brenna Daniels knows all about the perils of unrequited love—she’s been in love with Tyler for years. But living with him is absolute torture…how can she concentrate on being his friend when he’s sleeping in the room next door? Then when Tyler kisses Brenna, suddenly the relationship she’s always dreamed of feels so close she could almost touch it. Could this be the Christmas her dreams of a happy-ever-after finally come true?

    Crucial Accountability: Tools for Resolving Violated Expectations, Broken Commitments, and Bad Behavior is a Kindle Daily Deal for $1.99 (not price matched that I could find, sorry). It’s essentially a guide for how to speak up in the face of bullshit instead of getting internally full of unbridled rage and just living with said bullshit because you think it’s easier.

    I loved Blood of the Earth, and you can definitely read it (as I did) without having read the Jane Yellowrock series. I just want to note that it falls squarely into the UF/police procedural genre. There’s only the slightest whiff of a potential romance somewhere down the line.

  3. Susan says:

    I’m a massive Jane Yellowrock fan, but wasn’t sure going in if I’d like Nell Ingram as much. I’m glad to say that I love the new series, too. I think some background knowledge gleaned from the JR series might add depth and nuance to the Nell books, but agree that they can be enjoyed on their own without having read the other series first.

  4. Ele says:

    I recommend Blood of the Earth for urban fantasy readers. It provides something a little different from the usual vamps and elves — this is nature magic, and set in a great setting. What I really like about this series (and Jane Yellowrock too) is that the reader’s understanding of the magic develops along with the main characters’ understanding. And the magic is very intricate and interesting, without being tedious mumbo-jumbo of spellcasting. Note: There is some abuse in this book and/or its sequel.

  5. T says:

    I tried to like ‘Blood of the Earth’ but got a bit frustrated with the portrayal of the heroine. I grew up in an isolated fundamentalist cult, and when you interact with the outside world for the first time the way the heroine does, it’s a whole lot more baffling and difficult. There should be a whole wealth of shared culture and references which she doesn’t get or has never heard of, everything from the Grinch to Star Wars to Michael Jackson. You feel like a complete alien. And she should be doing all this constant, hard mental work to not slide back into the conditioning which got drummed into her as a child when she interacts with others, and I didn’t really see that.

    I know that’s a lot for an author who didn’t grow up in that kind of community to get. I feel as if she tried, but it wasn’t quite right..?

  6. Ren Benton says:

    @T: I haven’t read the book, so this isn’t specifically in reference to it, but the more divergent from the norm a character is, the trickier the balance becomes between authenticity and alienating readers who don’t think in those terms. The more spot-on I find a story that deals with topics I know well (abuse, neglect, mental health issues, poverty, etc.), the more it gets SLAMMED for “harping on” things that make people uncomfortable. So sometimes tried-but-fell-short is an editorial compromise for the benefit of marketability rather than lack of understanding of the circumstances being portrayed.

    Which doesn’t make it any less disappointing,I know!

  7. Tori says:

    I liked the premise of Must Love Dukes and the characters, but the language was so…odd. Like, stilted in some parts and overcompensating in others, as though the reader isn’t smart enough to pick up on certain things and needs the scene spelled out for them. Couldn’t get past the writing style.
