Books on Sale: Wildfire by Ilona Andrews & More

RECOMMENDEDWildfire by Ilona Andrews is $1.99! This is the third (and final?) book in the Hidden Legacy series and trust me, this series is amazing.

You may have already picked it!

Huge Kindle Daily Deals, Historical Romance, & More!

Books on Sale: Prudence by Gail Carriger & More

Prudence by Gail Carriger is $2.99! This is part of 3 pages of Kindle Daily Deals, which also includes books like Bossypants and Misty Copeland’s memoir. This book is the first book in her Custard Protocol series and Carrie gave it a B-:

The best and worst thing I could say about this series is that it’s very much like Carriger’s other series. It’s the worst thing in that there’s not a lot new in here except that it seems to be a series that gets us out of alternate universe England and into the rest of Empire. It’s the best thing because honestly Carriger’s world and style are just pure yummy candy. If you give me a five pound bag of M&M’s, it’s not like I’m going to get to the bottom and say, “Gosh darn it, this is still M&M’s!”

Books on Sale: A Gentleman’s Game by Theresa Romain & More

RECOMMENDED: A Gentleman’s Game by Theresa Romain is 99c! Redheadedgirl read this historical romance and gave it an A:

Theresa Romain basically created a series just for me, and the first full-length book just confirms it. She reached into my head and found the references and plot that would make me happiest, and gave those thoughts a beautiful cover and said, “Here!”

Books on Sale: Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger & More

RECOMMENDED: Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger by $1.99! This is the first book in the Finishing School series, which both Carrie and I highly recommend. This is young adult with a steampunk historical setting. And would you look at that cover. Readers loved the creative, whimsical setting, though some expressed difficulty in reading a lot at one time. They had to take breaks every few chapters because of the overwhelming twee-ness. The book has a 3.7-star rating on GoodReads and, if you’re looking to binge read the series, the next two books are also on sale for $1.99. Curtsies & Conspiracies ( A | K | G | AB ) and Waistcoats & Weaponry ( A | K | G | AB | Au ).
