The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is $1.99! This came out last summer and I’ve heard it’s lovely, but may fall into the category of “no plot, just vibes.” Have you read this one?
Welcome back, everyone! Shockingly, we only have one non-fiction title this week. We also have a historical fantasy, a contemporary Gothic, and a historical with a mix of mystery and romance. Have you received any good book recs lately? Want to impart a recommendation of your own? Let us know in the comments!
Happy Place by Emily Henry is $4.99! Henry’s books don’t go on super sale very often so this may be the best price we’re getting in terms of a discount! Do you have a favorite Henry romance?
Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams is 99c! Some readers felt it was more of a novel with strong romantic elements rather than a contemporary romance, so keep that in mind. The romance might be background to whatever the main character is going through. Have you read it?
RECOMMENDED: Last Night with the Earl by Kelly Bowen is $1.99! I so loved this book and gave it an A-. This is the second book in the Devils of Dover series, but can be read out of order (I did).
For readers who love slow burn historicals that have a focus on emotional healing, I can’t push this into your hands or onto your e-readers fast enough.
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso is $2.99! Ellen wrote a great review of this one, giving it a B-:
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro by K.S. Villoso presents a strong entry in the annals of badass fantasy heroines in the form of Queen Talyien of Jin-Sayeng.
RECOMMENDED: Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas is $3.99 and part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals! So many readers were looking forward to this book when it first released, and Carrie gave it a B+:
Devil in Spring was so delightful that I read it slowly because I had to take frequent squee breaks. I truly cannot sufficiently express how overjoyed this book made me. That said, I don’t think it will be everyone’s catnip, because the main character sometimes seems overly young and naïve, even given her character quirks.
RECOMMENDED: Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst is $2.99 and part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals! Ellen really enjoyed this one and gave it a B+:
I found the premise intriguing and the world-building richly rendered. I loved the characters and relationships. The plot was tight and the emotional beats hit hard. If you love unusual heroines, sports narratives, explorations of morality, monster stories, and/or standalone fantasy novels, this book has something for you.
