The Hidden Palace by Helene Wecker is $1.99! This is the much anticipated follow-up to The Golem and the Jinni and came out in the summer of last year. I don’t think you can read this one on its own. Were you excited for this release?

I loved this book, but not so much for the love story. I loved the mythologies, the settings, and the characters. I love books that let me see into another world, and this book gave me that feeling many times. The characters were all mesmerizing. I felt like I was in each setting, meeting these real people.

Suddenly One Summer by Julie James is $1.99! James is a contemporary romance favorite around here. Readers warn that though they loved the ending, they warn it’s not your typical romantic way to end a story (no clue what this means, but saw several people commenting on it). Many also loved the heroine. It has a 3.8-star rating on Goodreads.

Under the Lights by Dahlia Adler is $1.99 at Amazon! Fingers crossed for some price-matching. This is a YA/NA lesbian romance and Sarah gave it a B:
In terms of what age group this book is for, it’s tagged as both YA and New Adult. The characters are over 18, but under 21, and there is one on-the-page sex scene, should you be wondering if this book is suitable for a reader you know.
I found this book very easy to get into once I picked it up, and very difficult to put down. My interest waned every time Josh narrated a chapter, but at the end of each of Josh’s chapters there was more of Vanessa, and so I kept going.
