Afterburn & Aftershock by Sylvia Day is on sale with a couple different prices at a couple different places. At Amazon and Barnes & Noble, it’s $3.68 (odd, I know) and at Google:Play, it’s $1.99. I’m sure we all know which number we’d prefer! Scribd is also scheduled to start carrying this title in August, so mark your calendars! This is a two-story set that’s been compiled after each novella was released separately. Fans of Day seem to be split on Afterburn & Aftershock, though it does have a 3.9-star rating on GoodReads. Any Day readers care to compare this set with her other books?
The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen is $2.99! This is the first book in The Ivy Years series and was brought to our attention by reader Cat, who did some serious squeeing over this book:
As I commented on Sarina Bowen’s Facebook post about the sale, I devoured-yet-savored this like I would cheesecake. I whipped through this thing on a Saturday night because it was so engrossing but at the same time I just marveled at it, like, “How is this book so good?” Bowen does a great job of portraying disability in romance, and just likeComing in from the Cold she took a plot angle that makes the whole romance genre seem fresh again–I mean, I love the concept of genre and its constrictions and its tropes (I swear having a guaranteed happy ending is my favorite thing about romance, too many nasty shocks from mysteries and then of course fantasy…I’m a bit of a genre geek) but I love when authors can play with those tropes (cough Courtney Milan cough) or create something fresh and exciting even within various constraints.
