All Souls Trilogy
The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness is $3.99! This set contains a complete, finished trilogy and it part of today’s KDDs (Harrow the Ninth is included!). This trilogy seems to be rather divisive as I’ve seen comments on the site where people have love it or couldn’t make it through the first book.
The All Souls Trilogy follows the story of Diana Bishop, a historian and reluctant witch, as she solves the mystery of Ashmole 782, falls in love with a mysterious vampire named Matthew Clairmont, and learns how powerful it can be to accept who you are.

The Last King
The Last King by Katee Robert is 99c! This is the first book in The Kings series. The man on a motorcycle gives me motorcycle club vibes. Can anyone confirm or deny that element in the book? Robert usually writes steamier contemporaries with alpha heroes and I know Elyse is a fan.
Ultra wealthy and super powerful, the King family is like royalty in Texas. But who will keep the throne? New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert introduces a red-hot new series.
THE MAN SHE HATES TO LOVE
Beckett King just inherited his father’s fortune, his company-and all his enemies. If he’s going to stay on top, he needs someone he can trust beside him. And though they’ve been rivals for years, there’s no one he trusts more than Samara Mallick.
The rebel. That’s how Samara has always thought of Beckett. And he’s absolutely living up to his unpredictable ways when he strides into her office and asks for help. She can’t help wondering if it’s a legit request or just a ploy to get her into bed. Not that she’d mind either one. After all, she likes to live on the edge too.
But soon the threats to the King empire are mounting, and the two find family secrets darker than they ever imagined and dangerous enough to get them both killed.

The Body in the Garden by Katharine Schellman is $1.99! This is another book from today’s Kindle Daily Deals and is the first book in a new historical mystery series. If you’re looking for a new series to start and have exhausted all the usual suspects, pick this one up!
Perfect for fans of Tasha Alexander and Rhys Bowen, Katharine Schellman’s debut novel is sure to delight.
London 1815. Newly widowed Lily Adler returns to a society that frowns on independent women, but she’s no stranger to the glittering world of London’s upper crust. She’s back in town and eager to have a renaissance with friends, particularly with Lady Serena Walter–from their school days–determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. She expects scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn’t expect, as she’s visiting Lady Walter is a dead man laying in her garden.
Lily happened to overhear the man just minutes before he was shot: young, desperate, and attempting blackmail. When she finds out Lord Walter bribes the investigating magistrate to drop the case, Lily is worried, and becomes the only one with the key to catching the killer.
Aided by Navy Captain Jack Hartley and heiress from the West Indies Miss Ofelia Oswald, Lily sets out to discover whether her friend’s husband is mixed up in blackmail and murder. The unlikely team sets out to conceal their investigation behind the whirl of London’s social season, but the deceased knew secrets about people with power. Secrets that the powerful have desire and influence to keep hidden. Now, Lilly will have to uncover the truth, before she becomes the killer’s next target.

Magnate
RECOMMENDED: Magnate by Joanna Shupe is $1.99! This historical romance takes place in the Gilded Age of New York, which is a pretty cool setting. Redheadedgirl read this one and gave it a B:
TL;DR: NEEDS MORE GROVEL.
New York City’s Gilded Age shimmers with unimaginable wealth and glittering power. The men of the Knickerbocker Club know this more than anyone else. But for one millionaire, the business of love is not what he expected…
Born in the slums of Five Points, Emmett Cavanaugh climbed his way to the top of a booming steel empire and now holds court in an opulent Fifth Avenue mansion. His rise in stations, however, has done little to elevate his taste in women. He loathes the city’s “high society” types, but a rebellious and beautiful blue-blood just might change all that.
Elizabeth Sloane’s mind is filled with more than the latest parlor room gossip. Lizzie can play the Stock Exchange as deftly as New York’s most accomplished brokers—but she needs a man to put her skills to use. Emmett reluctantly agrees when the stunning socialite asks him to back her trades and split the profits. But love and business make strange bedfellows, and as their fragile partnership begins to crack, they’ll discover a passion more frenzied than the trading room floor…

Harrow the Ninth, the second book in the Locked Tomb series, is $2.99 on Kindle today! I snatched it up because I’ve been on the library’s waiting list forever. Gideon the Ninth is the first book, and I loved it — I seem to recall that I found it recommended by someone here?
Also picked up The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel, based on nothing more than how much I loved Station Eleven. Hopefully it approaches Station Eleven in quality. Price was $2.99 as well.
The In Service book series by Sandra Antonelli are 99 cents each, and there are three books in the series. I love this series, it features a female butler and a male spy and they’re adventure stories with some slow-ash burn romance. I’m pretty sure we’re supposed to picture Daniel Craig in the lead role (because of course) but I read the series because I loved how no-nonsense and practical Mae is, and because it’s nice to find a middle-aged female heroine.
@BrandiD, thanks for the info on the In Service series. I hadn’t heard of them, but a favorite reviewer reviewed them and liked them,so I’ve bought all three. They sound like fun!
Amazon has Sabaa Tahir’s first three books in her Ember in the Ashes series for $1.99 each. The fourth book comes out tomorrow.
@BrandiD- The description for the In Service series states “ It’s Charade meets Remains of the Day.” Which is about exactly the right level of escapist reading I need right now, Thanks!
A question and a comment on “The Body in the Garden”: The heroine’s last name is Adler. Does that mean she or her husband are Jewish? That would add an additional layer to the series and could be quite interesting, but it’s hard to imagine that it wouldn’t be an issue as she navigates the upper crust. And is the dead man laying or lying in her friend’s garden? The grammar nerd in me finds it hard to believe a corpse is laying anything but can easily imagine it lying there.
I bet the Adler name is a reference to Irene Adler, the only woman who ever outsmarted Sherlock Holmes.
The Knickerbocker series is good and it was nice to read a historical not set in the Regency era. I loved the NYC Gilded Age setting. That said, Magnate is my least favourite of them because the hero is such a jerk throughout. The heroine is great and he doesn’t deserve her. If you don’t mind alpha jerks, it’s worth reading.
Heads up for fans of Seanan McGuire: the Wayward Children series is being offered for free this week if you sign up for the tor.com Ebook club. There have been several positive reviews of “Every Heart a Doorway” on this site so I’m sure some of you would like to jump at this chance.
@Susan/DC – No, the heroine in “The Body in the Garden” isn’t Jewish (which that would be a good twist!), but the story was fun. She actually loved her husband and is trying to recover from his death while also sidestepping certain rogues who believe that all widows are merry. No sex, but a nice robust flame between the heroine and one gentleman (a society sailor, second son IIRC) and what I swear is a bitty, hot flame between the heroine and Bow Street Runner who is working on the case (but perhaps I’m reading too much into this relationship).
