RECOMMENDED: Bonds of Brass by Emily Skrutskie is $2.99! Ellen read this one and gave it a B+:
I think it has elements to satisfy a wide reading audience: a sizzling slow-burn romance between people with actual significant obstacles to their relationship, a sweeping and epic plot about the rise and fall of empires, gut-wrenching internal character conflict, and wacky space hijinks.
Sword Stone Table edited by Swapna Krishna and Jenn Northington is $1.99! Catherine reviewed this one and gave it a B:
If you like twists on the King Arthur stories, if you enjoy fantasy and science fiction, and if you like more POC and queer people in your stories, I think you will enjoy Sword, Stone, Table. But if you are coming into this as a romance reader, please do be aware that while there are plenty of happy endings in this book, there are quite a few tragedies as well. Which, after all, reflects the source material.
Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn is 99c! This is the third and final book in the Chance of a Lifetime series, which has had several favorably comments from the Bitchery. The hero in this one is the brother of the heroine’s best friend, if that is or isn’t your catnip.
Someone to Care by Mary Balogh is $1.99! This is book four in the Westcott series and I thought there was a review for this one, but nope. Sometimes everything just blurs together. If you’re new to Balogh or count her as one of your faves, I highly recommend this guest post.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is $3.99! This deal could poof at any moment because it was one of the biggest releases of last year and could be a Kindle Daily Deal leftover. This is Bardugo’s first adult fantasy novel and I want to warn of some graphic depictions of violence and body horror. The first chapter or so should give you a good picture on what you can/can’t handle.
Jade City by Fonda Lee is $2.99! This adult fantasy novel incredibly violent, according to reviews. But readers loved the world building and threads of mythology weaved into the story. To be honest, the book sounds intense and awesome. It has a 3.9-star rating on Goodreads.
