Sufficiently Advanced Magic, by Andrew Rowe.
The sample sucked us right in. “It was the day of my Judgment, and I was prepared in a thousand ways that didn’t matter.” We barely put it down long enough to buy it.

Easily in our top ten favorite books ever, on sale for only $2.99!
Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card
$2.99 Kindle Sale ($7.99)
Some days, we spend a lot of time searching through book deals (okay, okay… shopping) before we find the perfect one for the blog. But today, we found Ender’s Game about three seconds into our browsing, and that was it. No need to look any further. The writing is superb, but direct. (More like Hemingway than like Rothfuss, although Card loved Name of the Wind as much as we did.) It’s subtle, and it’s smart–profound, but never preachy.
The plot moves at a steady clip, but the character development is brilliant. In fact, Ender himself might be our favorite thing about it.

Our free promotion was an epic win, and the fun is only beginning!
The Intuitives, by Erin Michelle Sky & Steven Brown
$2.99 Kindle Sale! ($8.99)
Our free promotion of The Wendy was an epic success! No, wait. A legendary success! We’re talking Indiana Jones pulling out his gun and shooting the guy with the sword kind of success. Or injured Karate Kid Daniel beating Cobra Kai Johnny’s ass with a Hail Mary crane kick kind of success. Maybe even “Use the Force, Luke” destroying the Deathstar kind of success.
Too far?
Well, it feels that amazing to us. Our goal for the promotion was to giveaway 5,000 copies, with a stretch goal of 10,000. Instead, we gave away forty thousand books! We’re completely blown away. To say thank you to our amazing reading community (which just got a whole lot bigger than our former VW bus load), we have a few more surprises in store, starting today!

Supernatural murder and an alpaca. A magical romantic comedy… with a body count.
Hoofin’ It, by RJ Blain
$0.99 Kindle Sale ($4.99)
What do FBI agents, vampires, witches, glass eyes, alpacas, and a wicked sense of humor all have in common? You guessed it: Hoofin’ It, by RJ Blain. I read the first chapter and then bought it immediately for only $0.99. I laughed at the spitting alpaca. I laughed at the conversation Shane has with his mother. Heck, I laughed at the dialog with the 911 operator, but there’s probably something wrong with me.
I even laughed at the dedication. Here, look. I screenshotted it for you.
