Altered by Jennifer Rush is $2.99! This is a YA romance/thriller with genetically altered kids on the run from a giant nemesis, which may or may not be the nemesis they’ve identified. Readers really liked the action, the fast pace, and the puzzle of figuring out who and what was the truth in the story. However, some found there were details or plot devices that felt unnecessary.
They were made to forget. But they’ll never forgive.
Everything about Anna’s life is a secret. Her father works for the Branch, at the helm of its latest project: monitoring and administering treatments to the four genetically altered boys in the lab below their farmhouse. There’s Nick, solemn and brooding; Cas, light-hearted and playful; Trev, smart and caring; and Sam . . . who’s stolen Anna’s heart.
When the Branch decides it’s time to take the boys, Sam stages an escape. Anna’s father pushes her to go with them, making Sam promise to keep her away from the Branch, at all costs.
On the run, with her father’s warning in her head, Anna begins to doubt everything she thought she knew about herself. She soon discovers that she and Sam are connected in more ways than either of them expected. And if they’re both going to survive, they must piece together the clues of their past before the Branch catches up to them and steals it all away.

I Dream of Dragons by Ashlyn Chase is $1.99 at select vendors! This is a paranormal romance with dragons and a neighbors-to-lovers romance. Some readers loved the paranormal aspects blending in with modern society (the book is set in Boston). However, others felt there was a lack of interaction and chemistry between the hero and heroine.
THE HEAT IS ON
When Rory Arish and his two fiery dragon siblings are run out of their ancestral Irish home, it seems their luck has run out-until they arrive in Boston and find a paranormal-friendly apartment building. Finally, Rory has a place to call home. There’s only one problem: Rory’s new lair has simultaneously been rented to an infuriating woman who is as stubborn as she is beautiful and will not leave ‘her’ apartment matter how steamed he may be…
AND SPARKS FLY
Amber McNally is a down-on-her-luck flight attendant. She needs this apartment, and not even a fire-breathing dragon with his Irish charm and scorching good looks is going to scare her away. Holing up in their respective corners, a battle of wills ensues. Who will be the first to blink…or give in to their off-the-charts chemistry and decide to make this unorthodox living arrangement a little more permanent?

Love, Loss, and What We Ate by Padma Lakshmi is $1.99! This is a memoir focusing on cooking and food influences. Many of my friends enjoyed this memoir, though I haven’t read it. But reviews on Goodreads said that after reading this, it changed their thoughts on Lakshmi for the worse. Have you read this one?
A vivid memoir of food and family, survival and triumph, Love, Loss, and What We Ate traces the arc of Padma Lakshmi’s unlikely path from an immigrant childhood to a complicated life in front of the camera—a tantalizing blend of Ruth Reichl’s Tender at the Bone and Nora Ephron’s Heartburn
Long before Padma Lakshmi ever stepped onto a television set, she learned that how we eat is an extension of how we love, how we comfort, how we forge a sense of home—and how we taste the world as we navigate our way through it. Shuttling between continents as a child, she lived a life of dislocation that would become habit as an adult, never quite at home in the world. And yet, through all her travels, her favorite food remained the simple rice she first ate sitting on the cool floor of her grandmother’s kitchen in South India.
Poignant and surprising, Love, Loss, and What We Ate is Lakshmi’s extraordinary account of her journey from that humble kitchen, ruled by ferocious and unforgettable women, to the judges’ table of Top Chef and beyond. It chronicles the fierce devotion of the remarkable people who shaped her along the way, from her headstrong mother who flouted conservative Indian convention to make a life in New York, to her Brahmin grandfather—a brilliant engineer with an irrepressible sweet tooth—to the man seemingly wrong for her in every way who proved to be her truest ally. A memoir rich with sensual prose and punctuated with evocative recipes, it is alive with the scents, tastes, and textures of a life that spans complex geographies both internal and external.
Love, Loss, and What We Ate is an intimate and unexpected story of food and family—both the ones we are born to and the ones we create—and their enduring legacies.

Love Kate Daniels and Ilona Andrews, their books have never disappointed.
Magic Bites has one of my favorite lines ever and I worship Kate Daniels! The book has some problems, but as the first in the best PNR series out there it is a must read IMHO.
Here kitty, kitty…
Favorite authors whose work never disappoints.
I always recommend that people read the first TWO Kate Daniels books before deciding whether they like the series. The first one is a bit rough (the authors themselves admit this) and Kate herself doesn’t feel quite right. By book 2 all the things that make the series so awesome are in place.
I bought the Kate Daniels, although I have been off PNR and series in general for years due to the awfulness of a certain author whose initials are LKH.
The Lakshmi book is $25 in Australia. For an ebook. Insanity.
I adore Kate Daniels! This is the series I’ve been re-reading to cope with the stress of the past week.
