  • Blood Heir

    Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews

    Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews is $1.49 or $1.99 elsewhere! This is a spin-off of Andrews’ Kate Daniels series with the main character being Kate and Curran’s ward. Obviously this will be a more nuanced read if you’ve finished or are familiar with the prior series. I dropped off that train around book three.

    From award-winning author, Ilona Andrews, an all-new novel set in the New York Times #1 bestselling Kate Daniels World and featuring Julie Lennart-Olsen, Kate and Curran’s ward.

    Atlanta was always a dangerous city. Now, as waves of magic and technology compete for supremacy, it’s a place caught in a slow apocalypse, where monsters spawn among the crumbling skyscrapers and supernatural factions struggle for power and survival.

    Eight years ago, Julie Lennart left Atlanta to find out who she was. Now she’s back with a new face, a new magic, and a new name—Aurelia Ryder—drawn by the urgent need to protect the family she left behind. An ancient power is stalking her adopted mother, Kate Daniels, an enemy unlike any other, and a string of horrifying murders is its opening gambit.

    If Aurelia’s true identity is discovered, those closest to her will die. So her plan is simple: get in, solve the murders, prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, and get out without being recognized. She expected danger, but she never anticipated that the only man she’d ever loved could threaten everything.

    One small misstep could lead to disaster. But for Aurelia, facing disaster is easy; it’s relationships that are hard.

  • Jane Doe

    Jane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone

    RECOMMENDEDJane Doe by Victoria Helen Stone is available for $1.99 at Amazon! Elyse and Sarah jointly review the book today and gave it a B+. They thought it was an empowering book, but felt the ending was a bit rushed. Please be warned that this book deals with all forms of abuse and abuse against a child. I’ve also heard other readers recommend the audiobook.

    A double life with a single purpose: revenge.

    Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty in her floral-print dresses and extra efficient at her low-level job. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes—meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven.

    But plain Jane is hiding something. And Steven’s bringing out the worst in her.

    Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven’s bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. It’s time for Jane to dig out everything that matters to Steven. So she can take it all away.

    Just as he did to her.

  • To Taste Temptation

    To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt

    To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is book one in the Legend of the Four Soldiers series and was mentioned in a Rec League on Historical Romance House Parties. Readers warn that the beginning is a little slow, but if you’re looking to fully collect all of Hoyt’s romances, this is a good price!

    The ton loves a good scandal, and theyre giddy when wealthy Samuel Hartley arrives. Not only is he self-made, American, and in the habit of wearing moccasins, he is also notorious for fleeing a battle in which several English gentlemen died. What the ton doesnt know is that Samuel is in London because of this massacre. He believes his regiment was given up to the enemy and wont rest until he finds the traitor.

    Lady Emeline Gordon is captivated by Samuel. Not only does he defy convention, but he survived the battle that killed her brother. Samuel suspects that the person responsible is Jasper Renshaw, Viscount Vale, Emeline’s fiance. Though Emeline believes Vale is innocent and refuses to break off her betrothal, she and Samuel begin a passionate affair. Can their relationship survive the fallout from Samuels investigation?

  • Goldilocks

    Goldilocks by Laura Lam

    RECOMMENDED: Goldilocks by Laura Lam is $2.99! Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B+:

    If you are in the mood for a female-centric political and scientific and familial thriller/drama set in a space, here you go. Don’t skip the Acknowledgements, which includes a fabulous reading list for more reading.

    The Earth is in environmental collapse. The future of humanity hangs in the balance. But a team of women are preparing to save it. Even if they’ll need to steal a spaceship to do it.

    Despite increasing restrictions on the freedoms of women on Earth, Valerie Black is spearheading the first all-female mission to a planet in the Goldilocks Zone, where conditions are just right for human habitation.

    The team is humanity’s last hope for survival, and Valerie has gathered the best women for the mission: an ace pilot who is one of the only astronauts ever to have gone to Mars; a brilliant engineer tasked with keeping the ship fully operational; and an experienced doctor to keep the crew alive. And then there’s Naomi Lovelace, Valerie’s surrogate daughter and the ship’s botanist, who has been waiting her whole life for an opportunity to step out of Valerie’s shadow and make a difference.

    The problem is that they’re not the authorized crew, even if Valerie was the one to fully plan the voyage. When their mission is stolen from them, they steal the ship bound for the new planet.

    But when things start going wrong on board, Naomi begins to suspect that someone is concealing a terrible secret — and realizes time for life on Earth may be running out faster than they feared . . .

    Goldilocks is a bold and thought-provoking new thriller for readers of The Martian and The Handmaid’s Tale.

    There is a truly excellent summary of the entire Kate Daniels series at the back of Blood Heir. It’s told from the perspective of Order agents, an organization she dumped around book four or five.

    The set up and summary is done well enough that a Kate Daniels newbie would be fine

  2. kkw says:

    I had read the first Kate Daniels book and was mystified by all the Ilona Andrews love. Then I tried the Clean Sweep series, liked it enough to read all the other non-Kate books, liked them enough to try Blood Heir (although I was still very skeptical about Kate’s world), and liked *that* enough to go back and read all the Kate Danielses. Which is all to say, you absolutely can read Blood Heir first, and then in fact you will know enough about the world to start at Kate Daniels 2, and skip the first one. Not that it’s terrrrrrible, but it’s remarkably lesser, and life is short. Also, I have gotten the impression that a lot of people who go from Kate to Julie can’t enjoy it as much.

  3. Tam says:

    I did not enjoy the Julie book at all, mostly because the narrator did not seem like the same person as the kid who grew up during the Kate Daniels series. Instead we get a souped-up Kate 2.0 who has acquired all the powers in some mysterious back story. I’d rather have got THAT story.

    On another topic, I loved this video about historical dress on romance covers. Especially liked that she used historical photos of Black women when talking about the Jenkins and Coke book covers, although she seems to have missed that Cole’s heroine is in disguise as an enslaved maid. I love how she takes one look at the Jenkins hero in his blue jeans and says: “Yep! Historically accurate!”

    HEART OF SHERWOOD by Edale Lane sounds very interesting.

    “Winner of Rainbow Awards Best Historical Lesbian Romance, 2018-2019!
    What if Robin Hood was real, only the heroic outlaw had been a woman?
    Robyn lost everything: her home, her family, and her freedom. Branded as an outlaw by the Sheriff, she reinvents herself by joining Little John and his band in the guise of a boy, soon becoming their leader. But she misses the woman she loves, her best friend Marian.”

    In KU and $0.99 through Amazon

    I know I’ve seen Goldilocks on here before and I have no idea how or why it did NOT end up on my digital tbr already.

  6. Susan says:

    I was a total fanatic about the Kate Daniels series…until the last book. It wasn’t terrible, but it was mediocre. IMO, it wasn’t a worthy ending and it tainted everything that came before.

    And Julie. Meh. I thought she was spoiled and entitled and actively disliked her. I did buy Blood Heir, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever bring myself to read it.

    OTOH, the Hugh spinoff book was a tour de force.

    Jane Doe was terrific, but I’ve never gotten around to reading the sequel for some reason.

    I bought Goldilocks during an earlier sale and promptly forgot about, but seeing it again makes me want to pull it to the top of the Mt. Everest TBR. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s read it.

  7. Kareni says:

    I read Goldilocks two years ago. I don’t recall too many details, but I do recall that it surprised me in a good way.

  8. book_lover says:

    @Susan – this is so interesting because I did not really like the Hugh spinoffs. I just can’t get past all the stuff he pulled in the Kate Daniels books, even if it wasn’t exactly his fault. But I totally enjoyed Julie in Blood Heir and can’t wait for a sequel. (Please tell me there is going to be a sequel!)

  9. Susan says:

    @Kareni: Thanks for the feedback on Goldilocks!

    @book_lover: I totally understand your ambivalence about the Hugh book because he was utterly loathsome in the Kate series and I was sure he was beyond redemption. But, I’m in awe that, for me at least, they convincingly pulled off what started as an April Fool’s prank. He may not be likable, and can’t undo his past, but he’s started on the long road to change.

    Also, you’ve softened me a little bit about Blood Heir…

  10. Tam says:

    Well, I got to the bit in the Goldilocks futuristic dystopia where the President manages to demolish Roe v Wade. Ah ha ha ha. What it is to live in the future. I feel as if the sci fi of my youth promised more flying cars, less theocracy.

  11. Lena Brassard/Ren Benton says:

    @Tam: When people who have nothing to fear except loss of the maximum amount of unearned privilege are the only people being published/choosing who gets published, we get flying cars and pro-colonialism in space. When the people who have to suffer in order for that privilege to be maintained finally get to speak, we get warnings about the inevitable outcome of the status quo.

    Asterisks for the Andre Nortons and Octavia Butlers who had the skill and tenacity to get around the gatekeepers, and the current writers whose vision of the future isn’t completely grim (Becky Chambers is the only completely “wow, that sounds lovely” outlook I can think of off the top of my head).
