The Duke of Midnight by Elizabeth Hoyt is $1.99! This is Maiden Lane book 6, and it has a 4.1-star average. This series in particular is a favorite here at the Pink Palace. I know both Elyse and I have really enjoyed these books. Though they can operate as standalones, I believe every three books or so starts a new major story arc. Correct me if I’m wrong!
The Deadly Hours is $2.99! This is an interesting take on an anthology. You have four great historical mystery writers writing an interconnected story about a cursed gold watch. I’m super curious and Aarya mentioned it on a previous Hide Your Wallet.
Love All Year is $2.99! This is a holiday romance anthology that features holidays outside of Christmas. The anthology is a little over 350 pages. If my math is correct, there are seven stories from some great authors.
Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston is 99c! This is the first book in the Honey Badger Chronicles. Sarah read this one and gave it a B grade:
Among my favorite things about Laurenston’s writing is how very affirming and inspiring and a whole lot of fun it is, because angry, fearless women make room for themselves, they get shit done, and they’re the heroines. More honey badgers, please.
The Night Mark by Tiffany Reisz is $3.49! This is a time travel/time slippage book with some romantic elements. However, be warned that this book deals a lot with grief, if you are particularly sensitive to that. Despite this book being different from Reisz’ Original Sinners series, readers say that the writing is still as compelling.
RECOMMENDED: Milady by Laura L. Sullivan is $2.99! Elyse reviewed this one and gave it an A:
This book never slows down, and as a result, I totally pulled a Bad Decisions Book Club, reading until 2 in the morning. If you enjoy a heroine who is full of rage and infinitely more capable than the men around her, then Milady is the book for you.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer is $2.99! This is the first book in the Lunar Chronicles series. Set in New Beijing, a fictional world of the future, Cinder is influenced by several fairy tales, so if you’re a sucker for retellings, you may want to give this is a try. I love the cover redesigns and bought them all when they came out.
RECOMMENDED: Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh is $2.99! Catherine loved this one and gave it a squee grade:
I honestly can’t think of a single flaw in the story. If you love fairy tales and myths, and want to read a story that will transport you into the woods and leave you feeling like maybe a part of you is still rooted there, or wandering lost under its branches, then this is the book for you.
The Matrimonial Advertisement by Mimi Matthews is 99c! This is the first book in the Parish Orphans of Devon series and it’s a Victorian historical romance. It also has a marriage of convenience. Readers say this has a Gothic element, which they loved. However, others felt the book couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a mystery or a romance.
RECOMMENDED: The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston is $1.99! Yeah, you’re reading that right. If you were at RT a couple years ago, Sarah squeed about this so hard, so thanks to everyone who told us about this sale. And she did a little drive by squee during a review for the second book, The Undoing:
Feared Viking blacksmith (of sorts) in the Raven clan has a massive crush on a former Marine who is reborn as a Crow. (Bonus: Ravens giving him shit about his crush, and his ability to admit easily that he really likes her: ALL the thumbs, all of them up.)
