Chaos Terminal by Mur Lafferty is $1.99 and a Kindle Daily Deal! This is book two in the Midsolar Murders series, which is a sci-fi, cozy mystery series. I enjoyed book one!
Sin and Ink by Naima Simone is 99c! This is the first book in the Sweetest Taboo series and is an erotic contemporary. This one has been recommended to me by several of my fellow romance readers because I love a good dose of angst. Reviews say this one is definitely angsty and intense, if that is or isn’t your thing.
RECOMMENDED: Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron is $2.99! Kiki reviewed this one and gave it an A-:
I cannot emphasize enough how hungry this book will make you.
Accidentally Engaged might be my top pick for “don’t read while hungry.” Between our heroine Reena’s bread baking (there’s rye, there’s challah, there’s an ongoing battle with a sourdough starter) and her Indian and East African cooking, I was craving a feast pretty much the whole time I was reading this book.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is $2.99! This could be a leftover Prime Day or Kindle Daily Deal, so it could expire at any second. Have you read it? We also recommended it in our Horror Romance Rec League.
RECOMMENDED: A Convenient Fiction by Mimi Matthews is 99c! Claudia reviewed this one and gave it a B:
Readers who appreciate character-driven, slow-burn romance, flawed heroes, and a firm sense of time and place will enjoy this one despite its minor flaws.
Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev is $2.99! Carrie reviewed this one and gave it a B-:
Sonali Dev is an amazing creator of character and I suspect that this book with be A grade stuff for many readers. I enjoyed the conversations around class, race, and disability (in Emma’s case). However, the book left me stressed out instead of happy
RECOMMENDED: The Lord I Left by Scarlett Peckham is $1.99! Thanks for everyone who let us know about this sale. I believe it’s best to read this series in order, rather than as standalones. Claudia gave this one a B+:
There was a lot to like and enjoy: plenty of funny and tender moments, thoughtful discussions, and some of my favorite setups in romance, including an “one room at the inn” scenario.
