I love a good scary mystery, and The Sun Down Motel had all the elements to make it perfect. I loved the Gothic atmosphere, the theme of women coming together to get justice for other women, and the excellent momentum of the pacing. Other than possibly being too spooky for some, I can’t come up with a single reason why anyone should avoid this book.
Duke, Actually by Jenny Holiday is $1.99! This is a holiday romance and the second book in the Christmas in Eldovia series. I remember Elyse reading it and commenting in Slack that she was enjoying it. I, sadly, don’t do holiday romances. What about you?
The Courtney Milan Novella Collection is $2.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! This collection features four, standalone novellas and the actual length of these is collectively longer than a typical novel (as per the description).
Nora Goes Off Script made me laugh out loud, and offered a soothing fantasy about discovering your humdrum life is someone else’s perfection. It felt more like women’s fiction than romance, and I found myself wishing for more flavor in the love story, and in Nora’s meatloaf.
Witchful Thinking by Celestine Martin is $2.99! I believe this is Martin’s debut romance with some light, witchy vibes. This was mentioned on a previous witch-themed Hide Your Wallet. Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B-.
RECOMMENDED: A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan is $3.99! This is the first book in the Lady Trent series, which Carrie really loves. Readers say the book is pretty awesome in terms of concept, but they surprisingly wanted more dragons. Have you read this book or series?
Babel by R.F. Kuang is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals, as are all of today’s featured sales. Definitely check out the big list, as there is more worth grabbing. This one was both highly anticipated and ended up being a major seller. Did any of you pick this one?
The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel is $2.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! Sajni Patel gets some really great covers. Her newest one was featured on Cover Awe. Have any of you read this one? What’d you think?
I liked the painstaking and careful character development of the first half more than the zoomy-zoom plot of the second half, but the foundation of historical fiction and incredible detail coupled with folk magic, ghosts, and negotiating with spirits made this an exceptionally fun, absorbing, and thoughtful story.
Zora Books Her Happy Ever After by Taj McCoy is $2.99! Shana mentioned this on Hide Your Wallet and it was released this spring. This one seems like it might have a love triangle, but I’m not sure how involved that is with the plot. Have you read it?
