RECOMMENDED: Sweet Agony by Charlotte Stein is $1.99! Elyse just squeed about this one:
I acknowledge that Sweet Agony won’t be for everyone. Some readers may just think Cyrian’s an asshole and that’s fine. For me, for my individual reading experience, it was perfect and I’m so happy I found it.
RECOMMENDED: The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is $2.99! This is a Kindle Daily Deal and is being price matched. Elyse loved this book and gave it an A:
The Fifth Season is also a relatively quick read. It opens with a cataclysmic disaster and doesn’t slow down its pace. Its characters travel widely. My only word of warning is that the book ends on a massive cliffhanger. Fortunately the sequel, The Obelisk Gate, will be released in August. After finishing this book I’m making desperate grabby hands for the next one.
If you like immersive, action-driven fantasy and if you want a fantasy world that’s not Euro-centric–or if you just love a really, really good story–I cannot recommend The Fifth Season enough.
Jade City by Fonda Lee is $2.99! This is part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals and it’s being price-matched. I originally thought this was YA fantasy, but I think I’m wrong and it’s adult fantasy instead. It’s also incredibly violent, according to reviews. But readers loved the worldbuilding and threads of mythology weaved into the story. To be honest, the book sounds intense and awesome. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.
In His Hands by Adriana Anders is $1.99! This is book three in the Blank Canvas series and I highly recommend the entire series. The books are on the darker side (content warning themes of abuse, isolation, violence), but Anders does a great job with slow burn romances. And, if you want all of the books, the first book is FREE and the second book is only 88c!
