The Nook Daily Find is a historical thriller by William Boyd that I picked up several years ago and has been adapted to the big screen by The Sundance Channel and the BBC. Audible has a Teen/YA thriller that is reminiscent of Dexter; I like the narrator and may have to get this one. The pricing fairies forgot to drop the price on the Kobo Daily Deal, The Selection by Kiera Cass, but Amazon dropped the Kindle edition price, so get it there. In the Kindle Daily Deals, I bought One for the Money so long ago that my copy is in LIT format. If you haven’t started Kerrelyn Sparks’ Love at Stake series, the first two novels (How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire and Vamps and the City) are also on sale, in addition to the Daily Deal on How to Seduce a Vampire (Without Really Trying), which happens to be the one I need to continue the series. If you missed Jennifer Trainer Thompson’s Hot Sauce! ($1.99) when it was on sale a few years ago, now’s your chance to grab it. We make something similar to Bajan Pepper Rum using jalapenos from our garden (you get preserved peppers, which I keep in the frig, plus the spiced rum for drinks or recipes) and I need to get the ingredients together to try Narsharab (Pomegranate Sauce) while our peppers are coming in this year. If you read Urban Fantasy, don’t miss Jonathan Wood’s No Hero, which Barnes and Noble listed as one of the 20 best paranormal fantasy novels of the last decade (and it’s under a buck!).

Today’s Kindle Daily Deal is One for the Money: Stephanie Plum #1 ($1.99), by Janet Evanovich [Scribner / Simon and Schuster]. She has a new novel coming out next week, The Scam: A Fox and O’Hare Novel, co-written with Lee Goldberg, that you’ll want to pre-order or put on your wishlist
Book Description
Watch out, world. Here comes Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude. In Stephanie’s opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey.She’s a product of the “burg,” a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean, and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six.
Now Stephanie’s all grown up and out on her own, living five miles from Mom and Dad’s, doing her best to sever the world’s longest umbilical cord. Her mother is a meddler, and her grandmother is a few cans short of a case. Out of work and out of money, with her Miata repossessed and her refrigerator empty, Stephanie blackmails her bail bondsman cousin, Vinnie, into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, fearless bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook.
Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli is also the irresistible macho pig who took Stephanie’s virginity at age sixteen and then wrote the details on the bathroom wall of Mario’s Sub Shop. There’s still powerful chemistry between these two, so the chase should be interesting. It could also be extremely dangerous, especially when Stephanie encounters a heavyweight title contender who likes to play rough. Benito Ramirez is known for his brutality to women. At the very least, his obsession with Stephanie complicates her manhunt and brings terror and uncertainty into her life. At worst, it could lead to murder.
Witty, fresh, and full of surprises, One for the Money is among the most eagerly awaited crime novels of the season.
