If you wanted Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl on your Kindle, Amazon price matched B&N's deal price from yesterday, so it's currently $1.99; there is no telling when it will go back up, though, so grab it fast.
Today's Kindle Deal of the Day is Mystery Walk ($1.99), by Robert R. McCammon. The publisher is Open Road and my rule of thumb with them is to snap up anything they discount to this level, if it is at all interesting; they only deal with bigger name author's backlist titltes. Several reviews claim that this is McCammon's best work and the only one-star review I saw was a complaint about a used hardcover being the wrong book ordered (which should have been a 3rd party merchant comment, not a review of the book itself).Book Description
Two young psychics do battle with an ancient evil
Billy Creekmore was born to be a psychic. His mother, a Choctaw Indian schooled in her tribe’s ancient mysticism, understood that the barrier between life and death is permeable. She knew how to cross it, and used that knowledge to help the dead rest easier. She passed that power on to her son, and he has spent his whole life learning how to communicate with the dead to prevent them from meddling with the living.
Though his powers are the same, Wayne Falconer’s background could not be more different. The son of a prominent preacher, he would be disowned if his father learned he was using supernatural powers in service of the church. Though they don’t know each other, Billy and Wayne share a recurring dream—and a common enemy. When a nightmarish monster descends on their community in Alabama, mankind’s fate will rest in their hands.
Darke ($2.04 / £1.29 UK), the sixth book of the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $6.99). Another excellent teen/YA series and the only one I don't yet have in my Library; maybe it will drop in the US one day (it's not as though I have nothing in my TBR list).Book Description
Septimus is on the threshold of his fourteenth birthday, which falls on the shortest day of the year. While everyone celebrates and the Castle is lit with the traditional candles, Septimus has greater concerns on his mind. He has finally reached the period in his Apprenticeship known as Darke Week. During this crucial time, he hopes to undertake the very dangerous mission of restoring Alther from Banishment, following the attempted invasion of the Castle of Syren. But while this preoccupies him, other Darke things are afoot in the Castle.
Written with Angie Sage's characteristic humor, Septimus Heap, Book Six: Darke is a compelling fantasy adventure filled with surprises, thrills, and laugh-out-loud moments. Readers will revel in the action-packed story as they realize the wisdom of Magyk—that all things are meant to be part of a living whole.
