RECOMMENDED: The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen is $1.99 and a Kindle daily Deal! Allen is an auto-buy author for me and I just love the way she adds in some fabulism to her women’s fiction. Some readers felt that this book and its characters weren’t as great as Allen’s other novels. While others say that if you’re looking for something heartfelt and cozy, this should hit the spot.
The Serpent by Sarah Fine is $1.99 at Amazon! This is the first book in the urban fantasy Immortal Dealers series. I mentioned it on a previous Hide Your Wallet and it’s part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals. Like with many new urban fantasy series, it can be a rocky start as readers get their footing with the worldbuilding. And this one is no exception, but readers say it ultimately delivers.
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho is $1.99! I thought we had reviewed this, but I seem to be wrong. We did, however, mention this book on a couple podcast episodes. This is a fantasy novel with some alternate history thrown in. Overall, readers seemed to love the cast of characters, but warn it’s slow to start.
Unfixable by Tessa Bailey is 99c! I’m a huge Tessa Bailey fan and I was surprised to find a book by her that I haven’t heard of before. This is a standalone contemporary with an antagonistic relationship. Readers say the romance has a slow and satisfying build to it. However, if you’re also a Bailey fan, some readers note this one isn’t as explicit as her other books.
Of Dreams and Rust is a sequel to Sarah Fine’s Of Metal and Wishes . The two books basically function as one single book, and this review contains spoilers for Of Metal and Wishes. Alert – this is a YA story with first person, present-tense narration and a love triangle. Fortunately, the setting, characters, and overall plot made it feel fresh. Of Metal and Wishes is inspired by The Phantom of the Opera, one of … Continue reading Of Dreams and Rust by Sarah Fine
RECOMMENDED: The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson is $1.99! This is a scifi/fantasy novel in a historical setting. Carrie gave this an A- in a Lightning Review:
It’s a great paranormal/fantasy in a historical urban setting that focuses on a group of people too often ignored in history and in non-fiction. And Li-lin is a wonderful heroine: smart, determined, and struggling against all kinds of barriers including her own sense of self. I’m very much hoping that Li-lin and her floating eyeball friend will return in a sequel.
