The Missing
RECOMMENDED: The Missing by Caroline Eriksson is $2.99 at Amazon! This is a psychological thriller that Elyse loved. She wrote a Lighting Review of it because she didn’t want to spoil to much of the plot. It earned an A grade:
The Missing is a dark, dark book, but a deeply satisfying one. It’s the sort of book I desperately want to talk to someone about–but I have to wait for them to read it first. It’s worth not being spoiled.
An ordinary outing takes Greta, Alex, and four-year-old Smilla across Sweden’s mythical Lake Malice to a tiny, isolated island. While father and daughter tramp into the trees, Greta stays behind in the boat, lulled into a reverie by the misty, moody lake…only later to discover that the two haven’t returned. Her frantic search proves futile. They’ve disappeared without a trace.
Greta struggles to understand their eerie vanishing. She desperately needs to call Alex, to be reassured that Smilla is safe, or contact the police. But now her cell phone is missing too. Back at her cottage, she finds it hidden away under the bedsheets. Had she done that? Or had someone else been in the cottage? But who, and why? As Greta struggles to put the pieces together, she fears that her past has come back to torment her, or she’s finally lost her grip on reality…
In this dark psychological thrill ride—with more twists than a labyrinth and more breathless moments than a roller coaster—Greta must confront what she’s always kept hidden if she has any hope of untangling the truth.

Moxie
Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu is $2.99! This is a YA novel with some girl power, which you might be needing right now. I also mentioned this in a previous Hide Your Wallet. Readers say this book is delightfully feminist, but do issue content warnings for sexual assault and rape. I’m not sure if these things are just mentioned in the book or actively described on the page. If you’ve read it, let us know in the comments!
An unlikely teenager starts a feminist revolution at a small-town Texan high school in the new novel from Jennifer Mathieu, author of The Truth About Alice.
MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK!Vivan Carter is fed up. Fed up with a school administration at her high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes, hallway harassment, and gross comments from guys during class. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.
Viv’s mom was a tough-as-nails, punk rock Riot Grrrl in the ’90s, and now Viv takes a page from her mother’s past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She’s just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. As Viv forges friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.
Moxie is a book about high school life that will make you wanna riot!

Just for Him: The Complete Series
Just for Him: The Complete Series by Talia Hibbert is 99c! I believe this deal is good for the next week or so, and contains three standalone contemporary romances. According to Amazon, the whole set totals a little over 800 pages, making each book between 200-300 pages a piece. Not bad for less than a buck! Have you read any of the books in this set?
Three wealthy heroes meet the curvy, Black heroines who’ll bring them to their knees.
A harsh businessman and a passionate career woman. A misunderstood ex-con and a strong-willed ballerina. A reckless sports star and a defiant tattoo artist.
Enjoy three steamy and suspenseful stories set against the grit and glamour of the United Kingdom. Read all 180k words of intense, interracial romance at the lowest possible price. No-one does dirty like the Brits…
Bad for the Boss
Nobody denies the boss. Until her.
Theodore Chamberlain’s known for his laser-sharp focus and blunt demands—in the boardroom and the bedroom. The anti-social millionaire has never mixed business with pleasure before… but for a fierce new employee with knockout curves, he’ll make an exception.
Jennifer Johnson knows better than anyone that life is tough. Why complicate things by risking the job she loves for a lust that can’t last? Her boss may be hotter than hell—but Jen’s the one who’d end up burned. Trouble is, Theo’s mightily persuasive, surprisingly sweet, and extremely difficult to resist.
When a threat from Jen’s past resurfaces, her powerful boss becomes her unflinching protector. Can Theo save Jen from the evil that stalks her? And will Jen ever give into her desires and dare to be bad for the boss?
Undone by the Ex-Con
Is she strong enough to seduce her greatest enemy?
Isaac Montgomery is a millionaire, a murderer, and high society’s latest novelty. After all he’s been through, it should take more than a prima ballerina with a cut-glass accent to get under his skin. But when Isaac meets Lizzie Olusegun-Keynes, he doesn’t just lose his cool. He f$*king melts.
After a recent diabetes diagnosis, Lizzie is losing control of her body, her career—and, it seems, her desires. She shouldn’t want a man as coarse and cruel as Isaac, but the lust between them burns just as bright as their hatred. And when Lizzie’s beloved brother is threatened, the issue is taken out of her hands.
Whether she wants to or not, she will pursue Isaac; her brother’s safety depends on it. There’s only one problem: she’s starting to fall for the brooding, secretly sweet ex-con. The ex-con she must betray.
Sweet on the Greek
This soccer star is determined to win… his woman’s heart.
For millionaire footballer Nikolas Christou, one look is all it takes. The minute he sees Aria Granger, he’s a goner. Playboy Nik knows lust—intimately—but his need for Aria goes far beyond that. Of course, the plus-sized beauty isn’t interested in romance… but Nik isn’t interested in giving up.
Aria Granger has sworn off relationships for her own good. After all, her ex nearly murdered her best friend, so clearly her taste is questionable. When charming, gorgeous Nik bounds into her life, Aria can’t decide if he’s as innocent as he seems… or if her bullsh*t-ometer is broken.
The super-sweet sports star claims he needs a fake girlfriend to protect him from ‘misunderstandings’. And Aria, with her tattoos, piercings and dangerous scowl, fits the bill. But there’s no way a guy as handsome as Nik can be that bad at handling relationships. Can he?

I absolutely loved Wanted And Wired! I couldn’t put it down. And of course you cannot go wrong with Talia Hibbert. That box set is a gift!
We’ve read Moxie for my “Adults Who Still Read YA” Book Club and I enjoyed it. You don’t read about the rape as it is happening. It is after-the-fact, and the accused is a popular jock whose father is principal of the high school.
I gave it three stars on Goodreads, which is an “average” book for me. This is what I said:
Sheesh, Vivian didn’t have to act so peeved and/or superior about the fact that none of her classmates know what a zine is in 2017. Still, I loved the female friendships in this book, and also the mother/daughter relationship. 100% perfection! The Bikini Kill and Kathleen Hanna references were a bit much. I mean, what if I wrote a novel and mentioned Hanson 600 times?
P.S. to SBTB: Hanson is my favorite band in the whole world. New CD/DVD combo released this Friday!
I’ve recently started reading Talia Hibbert’s books and loved them. Till now, however, I’ve been avoiding her more… tropey ones. Although I’ve loved some of these tropes in the past, for the moment I’m mostly feed up with overbearing, arrogant billionaires, sports players and ethnic clichés. Anybody read these books who can tell me if the protagonists turn from tropes into people fairly fast?
Hibbert is the best at writing beta heroes. These guys are all misunderstood softies who want nothing better than to make it good for their lover. Even her billionaires are good at listening. I loved all of these, partly for that reason. If you like the others, I promise you will like these. (And I too put off reading them—partly cause of the covers. Don’t be misled, they are great.
@Kathy: Seconded on the covers! I’ve read several of Hibbert’s books, enjoyed them, but did so only after a friend’s recommendation because the covers really annoyed me. (Except “The Princess Trap”. I liked the original cover. The new one, though… ugh!)
@Kathy, @Deianira: Thanks guys! I trust in your recommendation and have already bought the whole set. Thankfully, this offer is available not just in the US. This comes at just the right time, since I’ve been sick fit a week and am in definite need of kindle fodder. Back to the blanket fort it is!
This Fallen Prey by Kelley Armstrong is 2.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714JB1GV?ref_=pe_3835120_368385860
Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Heroes Are My Weakness is 1.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7LT5II?ref_=pe_3835120_368385860
This Fallen Prey is the third book in a series about a homicide detective that goes to a small town in the Yukon wilderness for people who need to disappear (white collar criminals, people running from abusive exes, etc). There’s very little electricity, no phones, no internet, it’s in the woods, everyone has secrets, and there are settlers and other people living in the forest around them. I really can’t recommend Armstrong highly enough; she writes a lot of different series and stand alones and I love her stuff. May want to start with the first book in this series, although if you don’t mind just jumping in it would probably make sense. I think the first two books in the series are better though.
I know this is an older thread, and no one will probably look this way again, but I want to thank Kathy @ #4 for her comment on Talia Hibberts books! You made me get that anthology, and I’m loving it!
