Jade City by Fonda Lee is $2.99! This adult fantasy novel incredibly violent, according to reviews. But readers loved the world building and threads of mythology weaved into the story. To be honest, the book sounds intense and awesome. It has a 4-star rating on Goodreads.
Indecent Exposure by Tessa Bailey is $1.99! This is the second book in The Academy series and can be read on its own. I love Bailey’s writing and have enjoyed this series so far. Content warning for the hero’s backstory. If you want to be spoiled (just to be on the safe side), check out this review on Goodreads.

Here’s a bare bones description of the life of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas: Thomas-Alexandre was born in Saint-Domingue (which later became Haiti) in 1762. At the time, this … Continue reading The Black Count by Tom Reiss
