A Court of Thorns and Roses
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas is $2.99! This book and series is insanely popular and has Beauty and the Beast elements. However, some felt it didn’t live up to the hype or it had too much sexxxytimes for a YA-positioned book and feels more New Adult. I believe most of the books in the series are part of today’s KDD in anticipation of Maas’ new release.
A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

Wilde in Love
Wilde in Love by Eloisa James is $1.99! This is the first book in The Wildes of Lindow Castle. Some readers DNF-ed this on Goodreads citing lack of chemistry between the characters or boredom. However, other fans of James were excited about this new series. Which camp are you in? More books in the series are also in the KDD offerings.
Lord Alaric Wilde, son of the Duke of Lindow, is the most celebrated man in England, revered for his dangerous adventures and rakish good looks. Arriving home from years abroad, he has no idea of his own celebrity until his boat is met by mobs of screaming ladies. Alaric escapes to his father’s castle, but just as he grasps that he’s not only famous but notorious, he encounters the very private, very witty, Miss Willa Ffynche.
Willa presents the façade of a serene young lady to the world. Her love of books and bawdy jokes is purely for the delight of her intimate friends. She wants nothing to do with a man whose private life is splashed over every newspaper.
Alaric has never met a woman he wanted for his own . . . until he meets Willa. He’s never lost a battle.
But a spirited woman like Willa isn’t going to make it easy. . . .
The first book in Eloisa James’s dazzling new series set in the Georgian period glows with her trademark wit and sexy charm—and introduces a large, eccentric family. Readers will love the Wildes of Lindow Castle!

The Beautiful
RECOMMENDED: The Beautiful by Renee Ahdieh is $2.99 at select vendors! Kiki gave this one a B+:
Many readers WILL be enthralled with the emotion of Bastien and Celine and for them the final sections of the book will be as thrilling as they were surely meant to be. Think that might be you? Go out and get yourself some Victorian era New Orleans vampires.
New York Times bestselling author Renée Ahdieh returns with a sumptuous, sultry and romantic new series set in 19th century New Orleans where vampires hide in plain sight.
In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans provides her a refuge after she’s forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent along with six other girls, Celine quickly becomes enamored with the vibrant city from the music to the food to the soirĂ©es and—especially—to the danger. She soon becomes embroiled in the city’s glitzy underworld, known as Le Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group’s leader, the enigmatic Sèbastien Saint Germain. When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in the lair of Le Cour des Lions, Celine battles her attraction to him and suspicions about Sèbastien’s guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.
When more bodies are discovered, each crime more gruesome than the last, Celine and New Orleans become gripped by the terror of a serial killer on the loose—one Celine is sure has set her in his sights . . . and who may even be the young man who has stolen her heart. As the murders continue to go unsolved, Celine takes matters into her own hands and soon uncovers something even more shocking: an age-old feud from the darkest creatures of the underworld reveals a truth about Celine she always suspected simmered just beneath the surface.
At once a sultry romance and a thrilling murder mystery, master storyteller Renée Ahdieh embarks on her most potent fantasy series yet: The Beautiful.

A Memory Called Empire
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine is $2.99! It’s the first book in a new sci-fi series and we had Arkady on the podcast. The episode focuses on narratology and I found it fascination. Did you listen to this episode? The book has impressive 4.1-star rating on Goodreads.
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn’t an accident–or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court.
Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan’s unceasing expansion–all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret–one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life–or rescue it from annihilation.

TIGER EYE by Marjorie Liu is $1.99. It’s been a decade so I remember zero details about the book and can’t say how well it holds up, but I do remember thinking Liu had BY FAR superior external plots compared to the rest of the PNR pack at that time.
Funny enough I picked up Tiger Eye today off of Bookbub. I had read Liu’s work in the X-23 comics, but never read her other works.
I really like Maas’s Court of Thorns and Roses series, though I was also baffled to learn that they’re classed as YA given the levels of violence and sex. (Maybe I’m getting old? I would say the main YA element is actually the fact that favorite characters aren’t killed off.) They have a trauma recovery arc that I found very compelling, although the most recent novella (A Court of Frost and Starlight) is meh.
If you like intense, angsty paranormals, 10/10 would recommend Tiger Eye—I only got two books into the series before I realized it was too much angst and violence for me (if I reach for a PNR I generally want something more escapist) but Liu is a really great writer. It was one of those times I really appreciated a writer on a technical level even if the book wasn’t personally what I like.
Having one of those days where I keep clicking on the Daily Deals to find out that I’ve already bought them long ago, and they have languished forgotten on my Kindle ever since. Whoops.
I absolutely adored A Memory of Empire! If you like SF, highly recommended.
As far as I know the “A Court Of Thorns and Roses” series has been re-branded as adult (hence the new covers). Unfortunately many bookstores still shelf them as YA though (mine even has “Crescent City”/”House of Earth and Blood” shelved as YA).
The Maas books were originally marketed as New Adult. However, for bookstores and libraries that didn’t have New Adult sections, they were a better fit with the YA books. They have all been rebranded as Lynn says, probably a good marketing move since most of the original audience is all grown up now.
I picked up “Thorns and Roses” from my local Vinnies today. Score!
Loved the first two court books then meh. Although Rhys remains my book boyfriend forever.
I really, really enjoyed Wilde in Love for the lovely female friendships (with teamwork to take on the ton), witty dialogue and loving family dynamics. Nice comfort reading in my world 🙂 [It didn’t occur to me to question the romance, so I guess I found it fine.]
