Kings of the Wyld
RECOMMENDED: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames is $2.99! Queen Beverly Jenkins recommended this one on a previous podcast:
The book is amazing! It’s laugh-out-loud funny in some parts. The writing is wonderful.
Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best — the meanest, dirtiest, most feared crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.
Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk – or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay’s door with a plea for help. His daughter Rose is trapped in a city besieged by an enemy one hundred thousand strong and hungry for blood. Rescuing Rose is the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It’s time to get the band back together for one last tour across the Wyld.

The Candid Life of Meena Dave
The Candid Life of Meena Dave by Namrata Patel is $1.99! This was mentioned on the site before. I believe this one skews more toward women’s fiction or fiction with strong romantic elements. Have you read this one?
A woman embarks on an unexpected journey into her past in an engrossing novel about identity, family secrets, and rediscovering the need to belong.
Meena Dave is a photojournalist and a nomad. She has no family, no permanent address, and no long-term attachments, preferring to observe the world at a distance through the lens of her camera. But Meena’s solitary life is turned upside down when she unexpectedly inherits an apartment in a Victorian brownstone in historic Back Bay, Boston.
Though Meena’s impulse is to sell it and keep moving, she decides to use her journalistic instinct to follow the story that landed her in the home of a stranger. It’s a mystery that comes with a series of hidden clues, a trio of meddling Indian aunties, and a handsome next-door neighbor. For Meena it’s a chance for newfound friendships, community, and culture she never thought possible. And a window into her past she never expected.
Now as everything unknown to Meena comes into focus, she must reconcile who she wants to be with who she really is.

The Bridge Kingdom
The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen is 99c! This is a new adult fantasy romance that could work well for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout. Ellen reviewed it and gave it a C+, noting that while they mostly enjoyed the reading experience, the lead up to a cliffhanger ending was frustrating.
What if you fell in love with the one person you’d sworn to destroy?
Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both legendary evil – and legendary promise. The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his enemies, including Lara’s homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom.
But as she infiltrates her new home – a lush paradise surrounded by tempest seas – and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her and Aren impossible to ignore.
Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the savior of her people?

The Candid Life of Meena Dave Is definitely more fiction and less romance. The character development was so well done and I loved it.
The Bridge Kingdom: This women needs a chiropractor or someone to put the Barbie doll back together after the kids pulled her head off. So … uncomfortable looking.
@Darlynne – I had the same reaction to The Bridge Kingdom. Just kept looking and thinking ‘necks don’t work like that. At least they shouldn’t…’.
I DNF’d Kings of the Wyld for casual misogyny, as I recall.
I read part of kings of the wyld. I guess I DNFed it. The humor got a little boring. It might’ve worked better as a short story.
Thank you for mentioning KINGS OF THE WYLD. I knew it was recommended somewhere (and by Beverly Jenkins, no less) but I couldn’t remember where. Unlike emmers and Jen, I enjoyed it. Not a perfect book but for me it was entertaining and a good mix of fantasy, adventure, and humor. I liked the set up where the monster-fighting mercenaries are the rock stars of their world, and I liked Clay Cooper, the main protagonist (as Gabriel tells him,
“I was the front man but you were the leader.”) However, aging is inevitable (unless you’re turned to stone by a basilisk), fortune is soon spent, and fame lasts only a little longer. Had some questions about the end, but perhaps I’ll read BLOODY ROSE to see if any of them are answered. It’s supposed to be a trilogy but I don’t think the third book has been published yet.
