A Certain Age by Beatriz Williams is $1.99! This is a historical fiction novel set in New York’s Jazz Age. This book was released earlier this summer and readers loved the sense of place Williams created. It’s also a retelling of an opera, which is pretty cool! However, others found the story a bit underwhelming compared to the jacket copy. It has a 3.6-star rating on Goodreads.
RECOMMENDED: Blamed by Edie Harris is $2.99! I loved this romantic suspense, especially the part where the heroine thinks the hero is dead and the moment where they reunite. But I will warn you that it’s incredibly violent. I gave it an A-:
This book was an amazingly pleasant surprise and I lost track of the number of good book noises I made while reading it. I’m still getting my feet wet when it comes to romantic suspense, but I picked a good book to try out.
RECOMMENDED: The Secret History of the Mongol Queens by Jack Weatherford is $1.99! This book was reviewed earlier this year by Carrie, who gave it an A:
The Secret History of the Mongol Queens: How the Daughters of Genghis Khan Rescued his Empire is slow going, but, my goodness, is it ever worth it. This non-fiction book illuminates a part of history that I was completely ignorant about. It’s sometimes horrifying and sometimes inspiring, but always fascinating.
