Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno Garcia is $1.99! This is a noir/mystery novel set in Mexico during the 1970s. I believe this was also a Hide Your Wallet pick and I remember being super excited. Also, what a cool damn cover.
Welcome back to Hide Your Wallet, where we caution you to secret away any means of spending as we unleash a deluge of new releases! We have a few fantasy romance and horror titles coming out this week, which personally makes me a very happy reader. We also have series continuations and a monster romance. What are you looking forward to this week? Let us know!
A Duchess by Midnight by Charis Michaels is $1.99! This is the third book in the Awakened by a Kiss historical romance series. This is a Cinderella retelling with an “ugly stepsister” as the main character and a marriage of convenience.
All the Feels by Olivia Dade is $1.99! This is a contemporary romance and the second book in the Spoiler Alert series. It was also just recommended by Shana in our recent Rec League on Book-Long Grovels.
Every Rogue Has His Charm by Susanna Craig is $1.99! This is book four in the Love and Let Spy series. Prior books in the series have been favorably reviewed on the site and this one was mentioned in a Hide Your Wallet.
Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews is $2.49! Lots of Andrews fans here! This is book three in the Kinsmen series, which I’m not familiar with. Do these have to be read in order? Would love to know!
Neon Gods by Katee Robert is $2.24! This is the first book in the Dark Olympus series. This is close to the top of my TBR pile and I’ve heard so many good things. A friend read it and wished it were spicier. Are you a fan?
RECOMMENDED: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames is $2.99 and part of today’s Kindle Daily Deals! Queen Beverly Jenkins recommended this one on a previous podcast:
The book is amazing! It’s laugh-out-loud funny in some parts. The writing is wonderful.
Spoiler Alert is tropey wish fulfillment, but at its heart, it is a quiet contemporary with a #couplegoals relationship where both characters offer comfort, create beautiful art, and help each other overcome insecurities. Spoiler Alert is also a love letter to fandoms, that will make you want to chase your romance novel with a shot of fanfiction.

RECOMMENDED: Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur is $1.99! Though the book copy mentions both Pride & Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary, though our reviewers mention it’s more like the former than the latter. Aarya and Tara reviewed this one together and gave it an A-:
Tara: This book is so freaking cute, it should be illegal. And luckily, Aarya agrees with me, so we’re talking about it together!
