Two Buck Pre-Orders

Two pre-orders at under $2 today and both are re-issues of older books, with added materials (no doubt excerpts from upcoming releases). I'm including links to the older editions of each, so you can take a look at the samples before ordering (make sure you order the $2 edition using the links below and don't accidentally buy via the Kindle at full price).

Destined for an Early Grave with Bonus Material ($1.99; Original edition $6.99), by Jeaniene Frost, is the fourth book in her Night Huntress series. Works out great for me, as I have the first three and ordered this one immediately (don't know why I didn't have book four yet, as it's a great series, IMO). I've attached the correct cover here, as the order page at Amazon incorrectly shows the cover for the upcoming release, This Side of the Grave ($7.99, Feb 22).

Book Description
Her deadly dreams leave her in grave danger

Since half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her undead lover Bones met six years ago, they've fought against the rogue undead, battled a vengeful Master vampire, and pledged their devotion with a blood bond. Now it's time for a vacation. But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror. She's having visions of a vampire named Gregor who's more powerful than Bones and has ties to her past that even Cat herself didn't know about.

Gregor believes Cat is his and he won't stop until he has her. As the battle begins between the vamp who haunts her nightmares and the one who holds her heart, only Cat can break Gregor's hold over her. She'll need all the power she can summon in order to bring down the baddest bloodsucker she's ever faced . . . even if getting that power will result in an early grave.


Gone Low Price with Bonus Material ($1.99; Original edition $7.99), by Michael Grant, is the first in a SciFi/apocalyptic series for teens/young adults. I haven't read this one, but I'll be trying out a sample. The upcoming release in this series is Plague ($9.99, April 5).

Book Description
In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE.

Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.

Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.

It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
