Verity and the Forbidden Suitor by J.J. McAvoy is $1.99! This is book two in the DuBells series and Shana gave it a B-:
Verity and the Forbidden Suitor is not a stand alone book, y’all. I started reading and immediately flailed in a sea of characters that I might have cared about if I’d read the first book in the series.

If you can handle some angst, some systemic oppression, and a distinct lack of totally justified vengeance, check out this slow burn romance between two damaged, but kind people of color who desire only each other and the safety of anonymity.
Black Water Sister by Zen Cho is $1.99! This was mention on a previous Hide You Wallet. I’ve enjoyed Cho’s historical fantasy novels and was curious about this one. However, definitely research trigger warnings, as I know there are some darker elements and scenes.

Hey there! Are we all ready for recommendations? For some background, I talk about books a lot. I love being about to match people with books they’ll enjoy and get to do that on a daily basis. Lately, several of my recommendations have had some sort of mystery or thriller element. Have you given out some awesome book recs? Have you gotten any?
