RECOMMENDED: The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is $1.99! Carrie squeed about this one:
I adored every part of this story – the stakes, the world-building, the language, the characters, and the action. I can’t wait to read more of it.
I’m BACK! It took me awhile to do this last one because, well, you’ll see. But if you’re just arriving here at the mayhem, welcome!

Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw is $2.99! Readers love the heroine, who is described a “fast-talking doctor to the undead.” The next book in the series is also on sale.

RECOMMENDED: Someone in Time edited by Jonathan Strahan is 99c! Thank you to everyone who let us know about this one. Carrie gave this one an A:
I can’t remember the last time I read an anthology in which every story touched me so much. Some have happy endings and some do not, but all of them are deeply affirming of the idea that human relationships, specifically romantic ones, are important.
