Molly Molloy & the Angel of Death by Maria Vale is $2.49! This is a Kindle Daily Deal, as are most of today’s featured sales. I highly suggest listening to the podcast we did with Maria on this book. She explains it well that this isn’t a romance per se.

The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward
I suspect mileage will vary significantly for readers of The Aristocrat. It’s going to depend a lot on how much emotion you want in your reading (this one has quite a bit). I kept raising my eyebrow at the heroine’s implausible perfection and that pulled me out of the story. Felicity lives in Narragansett with her foster mother. She’s enjoying a summer off before going to law school when two handsome Brits move into the … Continue reading The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward
Links: Home Decorating, Madam C.J. Walker, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Did you know the makers of Wingspan came out with a new game last month called Wyrmspan? My partner and I played it over the weekend and loved it! If you’re familiar with Wingspan, I’d say the games are 75-80% similar. However, there are some rule changes and new mechanics to Wyrmspan.

New Adult by by Timothy Janovsky is $3.34 at Amazon! It doesn’t appear to be on sale for elsewhere. I wasn’t a huge fan of this one as I felt the main character to be pretty unsympathetic but your mileage may vary!

A Haunting in the Arctic by C.J. Cooke
A Haunting in the Arctic is emphatically not a romance, but it has some elements that are relevant to our interests, specifically female rage and mermaids and selkie legends. It’s very atmospheric and creepy, but it forgets to make sense. The plot revolves around a LOT of rape, and also includes graphic violence, self-harm and gaslighting. If I had realized that the plot involved so much rape, much of it committed on page and the … Continue reading A Haunting in the Arctic by C.J. Cooke

HaBO: Is This a Real Book?
This HaBO is from Gerry, who is hoping to find out whether this book is real: I haven’t read this book, but it was casually referred to in another book, and it is driving me crazy. It is a romance novel. The main character is a physicist and she collects medieval assassins’ tools. It was mentioned in one of Ghost Mountain Pack books by Audrey Faye. I think it was in Shield, but it could … Continue reading HaBO: Is This a Real Book?
