The Misremembered Man ($0.99), Christina McKenna's debut novel, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day.Book Description
The Misremembered Man is a beautifully rendered portrait of life in rural Ireland which charms and delights with its authentic characters and gentle humor. This vivid portrayal of the universal search for love brings with it a darker tale, heartbreaking in its poignancy.
The Nearest Exit ($1.55 / £0.99 UK), by Olen Steinhauer, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $9.99). Those in the UK can also get a good deal on the first title in this series, The Tourist ($3.98 / £2.49 UK).Book Description
The Department of Tourism is an ultra-secret black-ops branch rumoured to carry out the CIA’s dirtiest and deadliest work. Most agents don’t even believe it exists. Milo Weaver knows otherwise. Trained to kill cleanly and keep moving, he is a Tourist that understands the rules. Don’t ask questions. Don’t form attachments. Don’t look back. But Milo is the only Tourist with a daughter. When he is told to assassinate a teenage girl, his commitment to the cause starts to crumble – and for the first time, he disobeys his orders.
Plain Fear ($1.99 Kindle; $2.99 B&N), by Leanna Ellis, is the Nook Daily Find, but is priced lower on Kindle. This is the Amish Vampire story that caused so much controversy at our local bookstore that they had to remove it from the Halloween display. The manager at the local store wasn't that impressed by it, but the reader comments at Amazon tend to quite positive, except for those who didn't realize that vampires were a major plot device (they were looking for a typical Amish romance). If you want to check it out for yourself, it's definitely priced right.Book Description
"Not Death, But Love."
Pain choked off anymore words. She grabbed the cold stone marker for support, splayed her hands across its front as a sob wrenched free from her chest.
Although she knows that the Amish way is to move on from grief, on to a new season, Hannah cannot move on from Jacob, who was taken too soon.
Jacob's brother Levi also cannot move on-his love for Hannah burns just as strong as ever. But he knows how much Hannah loved his brother, and the event that took Jacob from them.
And it's a secret he must take to his grave.
So when a mysterious stranger comes to their community, he too carries a secret; one that will force Hannah to choose between light and dark, between the one she wants to love and a new yearning she fears to embrace.
