  • A Deadly Education

    A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

    A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik is $3.99! It’s also a Kindle Daily Deal. If you’re unsure about whether to pick up this book, I highly recommend reading Aarya’s review as well as this Goodreads review to make that decision for yourself. The comments on that GR review are also super insightful, as it contains comments from readers of color about various cultural identities present in the book.

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Uprooted and Spinning Silver comes the story of an unwilling dark sorceress who is destined to rewrite the rules of magic.

    I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life.

    Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans.

    I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts, I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, make myself the dark queen of the world.

    At least, that’s what the world expects me to do. Most of the other students in here would be delighted if Orion killed me like one more evil thing that’s crawled out of the drains. Sometimes I think they want me to turn into the evil witch they assume I am. The school itself certainly does.

    But the Scholomance isn’t getting what it wants from me. And neither is Orion Lake. I may not be anyone’s idea of the shining hero, but I’m going to make it out of this place alive, and I’m not going to slaughter thousands to do it, either.

    Although I’m giving serious consideration to just one.

    With flawless mastery, Naomi Novik creates a heroine for the ages—a character so sharply realized and so richly nuanced that she will live on in hearts and minds for generations to come.

  • The Wedding Date

    The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory

    The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory is $1.99 and another KDD! Elyse read this one and gave it a B:

    The Wedding Date is charming and delightful, and it saved me from getting overly hysterical on a flight to Costa Rica. It’s not a perfect book, and I found myself giving the hero my “WTF” face a few times, but the awesomeness of the heroine thrilled me.

    A groomsman and his last-minute guest are about to discover if a fake date can go the distance in a fun and flirty debut novel.

    Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Alexa Monroe wouldn’t normally do. But there’s something about Drew Nichols that’s too hard to resist.

    On the eve of his ex’s wedding festivities, Drew is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend…

    After Alexa and Drew have more fun than they ever thought possible, Drew has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a pediatric surgeon, and Alexa heads home to Berkeley, where she’s the mayor’s chief of staff. Too bad they can’t stop thinking about the other…

    They’re just two high-powered professionals on a collision course toward the long distance dating disaster of the century–or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want…

  • Cry Wolf

    Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

    RECOMMENDED: Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs is 99c! Sarah really enjoyed this book and the next one. Here’s what she said:

    The balance of harmony is cast into characters with instinctive and pre-determined roles – Alphas and Omegas are born the way they are, even as humans prior to being changed in to werewolves – and the world built around that concept creates a new set of questions about why and how effective romance relationships work, and how enduring couples through a continuing series maintain their attraction for readers.

    Now Briggs begins an extraordinary new series set in Mercy Thompson’s world—but with rules of its own.

    INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS…

    Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

  • Hunting for a Highlander

    Hunting for a Highlander by Lynsay Sands

    Hunting for a Highlander by Lynsay Sands is $1.99! This highlander historical romance released earlier this year and is part of the Highland Brides series. Sands’ books tend to be hit or miss for me. How about you?

    Four Buchanan brothers have found their brides…only three more to go in this scintillating romance from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands…

    Lady Dwyn Innes feels utterly out of place among the eligible women who’ve descended on Buchanan Keep, vying for the attention of the last unmarried brothers. She isn’t long-legged and slender like her sisters, or flirtatious and wily like other lasses. Since her betrothed died, Dwyn has resigned herself to becoming an old maid. Yet a chance encounter with a stranger in the orchard awakens her to a new world of sensation and possibility…

    After weeks away, Geordie Buchanan returns to find his home swarming with potential brides, thanks to his loving but interfering family. But one lass in particular draws his attention from the moment he spies her climbing a tree. Lady Dwyn is not nearly as plain as she thinks. Her lush figure and eager kisses delight him, as does her honesty. But the real test lies ahead: eliminating a hidden enemy, so that he and Dwyn can seal their Highland passion with a vow.

    Bessel van der Kolk’s book about trauma and healing, The Body Keeps the Score, is $2.99 on Amazon today. Highly recommended.

  2. Laurel says:

    I love pretty much everything Patricia Briggs writes, but her Alpha & Omega series are my absolute favorites. I highly recommend this series, as well as the Mercy Thompson series it spun off from (from which it spun? Ugh. Grammar.)

  3. SusanE says:

    I just read Hunting for a Highlander recently, and I noted lots of plot problems. However, my biggest issue is the way the heroine is constantly described, by the author and by the characters, according to her body parts.

    It annoyed me so much I had to count the number of times the heroine’s breasts are mentioned, either in the description or in dialog:
    Breast: 113
    Nipple: 36
    Bosom: 22

    As she has no other memorable characteristics, it seems she is only three-dimensional if you count her left breast and her right breast as two of them.

    Rant ends.

  4. Carrie G says:

    @star, I second your recommendation of Your Body Keeps the Score. It was incredibly helpful for understanding my PTSD from childhood trauma. My psychiatrist gave me the book.

    RE: A Deadly Education– The Goodreads review is worth reading with or without the book. It’s articulate and well done.

  5. Kareni says:

    I’m another big fan of Patricia Briggs’ Alpha and Omega series. (While I like the author’s Mercy Thompson series, it’s the Alpha and Omega series that I’ve read and reread.)

  6. Alexandra says:

    A Deadly Education was one of my favorite books that I read this year! I read the good reads review and it had me conflicted, but ultimately I do think it pointed out some things that should cause pause, but included many other things in bad faith. The comments on the GR review say that Novik is removing the most egregious thing (related to dreadlocks and bugs, which is racist, but wasn’t Novik’ intent and she’s removing it, and I do see why she included it in the first place). A lot of the call out doesn’t acknowledge the world building or El’s worldview. I’ll reread it again with a more critical eye, but I did love it as a character driven fantasy.

  7. Luciana says:

    A deadly education is such a weird and wonderful book. I would highly recommend the audiobook, which makes all the internal monologues really shine in a way that minimizes the way they otherwise seem to slow the action.

  8. JenC says:

    Network Effect, book 5 of Murderbot, is 2.99 at Amazon this evening.

  9. kkw says:

    I really enjoyed A Deadly Education. It is definitely racist. I *think* it’s on purpose, that the world and the narrator are meant to be grim in a way that’s not just atmospheric set dressing, but truly baked in awfulness. I *think* it’s going to be worth it, largely because after the way Lawrence evolved in Novik’s Temeraire series I have faith that Novik can redeem a uncomfortably flawed POV character with lots of colonialist baggage. But that doesn’t mean everyone is going to enjoy that journey, even assuming my faith is rewarded.
