RECOMMENDED: Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn is $1.99! This book and series has been mentioned quite a bit on the site. Elyse recommended it if you like historical mysteries.

Anyway, the … Continue reading The Duke Who Knew Too Much by Grace Callaway
Burning Bright by Megan Hart, KK Hendin, Stacey Agdern, and Jennifer Gracen is 99c! This is a Hanukkah romance anthology with a foreword by our very own Sarah! A lot of readers found it refreshing to finally have an anthology celebrating Hanukkah. However, some readers thought the collection was imbalanced.
