The Lily of Ludgate Hill by Mimi Matthews is $1.99! This is the third book in the Belles of London series and came out this January. Thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale and big apologies if this was a KDD from the weekend.
Readers who love thoughtful, specific worldbuilding and very thoughtful characters who slowly fall for one another will likely enjoy this book, though be warned that the tension and pace felt uneven and may require some reader perseverance.
Silver Silence by Nalini Singh is $1.99! Big thank you to everyone who let us know about this sale and hopefully it’s still valid. This is the start to the first Psy-Changeling Trilogy. If you’re wondering whether you can start here, the answer is yes. Elyse did, though still have some questions, and gave it a B:
I think Silver Silence will be a big hit with readers of the series, and a little less effective with newcomers. I did love the healthy portrayal of an alpha hero, though, and found the world of the bear shifters to be fun and fascinating.
RECOMMENDED: A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn is $2.99 as a KDD today! This is book two in the Veronica Speedwell series and I LOVE THIS SERIES. I’ve listened to it one after the other. I reviewed this one and gave it a B, and wrote, “the series is a sizable amount of fun if you like historical mysteries, fearless and intelligent heroines who take negative-zero crap from anyone, characters who embrace sarcasm, adventure and nefarious plotting, and taciturn but brilliant heroes with simmering sexual tension.”
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston is $4.99! I don’t believe we’ve ever had this one on sale before. Carrie reviewed this and gave it C, nothing that she was very confused by this one. Do you feel the same?
For You & No One Else by Roni Loren is $1.99! So far, I only see this deal reflected at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This is the third book in the Say Everything series, which deals a lot with mental health. It can also be read as a standalone. I love Roni’s books and am awaiting news of what she’s up to for 2024. I know her Ones Who Got Away series is getting a re-release.
Happy Tuesday! That means it’s new release day for most books that will soon be arriving onto your ereaders, mailboxes, or on the shelves of your local independent bookstore (if you haven’t been blessed by the book gods and received them early). There’s a great mix of retellings, romance, and fantasy! What’s coming out this week that you’re excited for? Let us know!
John Eyre by Mimi Matthews is $2.99! This is a retelling of the Bronte classic and has similar elements of a Gothic historical romance. Have you read this one? Carrie read it and gave it a C+ in a Lightning Review.
RECOMMENDED: The Duke Who Didn’t by Courtney Milan is 99c! Apologies if this one is a leftover sale from the weekend. Catherine gave this a squee grade:
The Duke Who Didn’t was always going to be a book that made me happy. Humour, food, and a gentle hero who just wants the heroine to be less stressed are a pretty good formula for getting onto my keeper shelf.
