Kindle Daily Deals 4/26

Today's the last day for Audible's Semi-Annual $9.95 or Less Sale; You still have four more days, though, on the Listening Rewards Deal.

Amazon's Android Free App of the Day is Hey, That's My Fish!. It looks like it's a cute game, supports up to four players and usually sells for $3.

Amazon has price matched the Nook Daily Find: All the Pretty Hearses ($1.99), the 26th in the Bed-and-Breakfast series by Mary Daheim.

Today's Kindle Teen Daily Deal is Undertakers: The Rise of the Corpses ($1.99), by Ty Drago [Sourcebooks Jabberwocky]. It's apocalyptic and there are zombies - need I say more?
Book Description
"On a sunny Wednesday morning in October, a day that would mark the end of one life and the beginning of another, I found out my grouchy next door neighbor was the walking dead. When you turn around expecting to see something familiar, and instead see something else altogether, it takes a little while for your brain to catch up with your eyes. I call it the 'Holy Crap Factor.'"

Forced to flee his home and family, twelve-year-old Will Ritter falls in with the Undertakers-a rag-tag army of teenage resistance fighters who've banded together to battle the Corpses.

Today's Kindle Daily Deal is Die for Me ($1.99), by Cynthia Eden [Montlake Romance], with the companion audiobook also $1.99. I just checked my library and I have three books by this name ... none are by this author, although I do have three of her novels, as well!
Book Description
She thought her fiancĂ© was the perfect man—until he turned out to be the perfect killer…

Katherine Cole is running for her life, desperate to escape the Valentine Killer—so-called because he stabs his victims through the heart and leaves them holding a telltale single red rose. Still he tracks her to New Orleans and begins carving a bloody path to her door. But this time, Katherine refuses to run any farther. This time, she’ll do anything to stop the madman she once loved, even trust the sexy cop promising to keep her safe…

Detective Dane Black never lets his emotions interfere with his job, even as the Valentine Killer surfaces in New Orleans to stalk his prey. But when Dane agrees to protect the killer’s ex-fiancĂ©e, Katherine Cole, he can’t ignore the passion kindling between them. After a single unforgettable night binds them body and soul, Dane knows he won’t rest until Katherine is safe in his arms—and the Valentine Killer is dead. Dark and intensely sexy, this romantic suspense novel from USA Today bestselling author Cynthia Eden is sure to leave readers breathless.

Today's Kindle Romance Daily Deal is Dating The Devil ($1.99), by Lia Romeo [Bell Bridge Books].
Book Description
Lucy O’Neill is a plain-Jane New York PR assistant with a tiny apartment, a dead-end job, and a pair of annoyingly perfect roommates. Nothing exciting ever happens to her, until one night at a neighborhood pub . . .

Lewis Mephisto is tall, handsome, and hot. Very hot. He meets her gaze through the crowd, a wicked grin on his lips, an irresistible invitation in his eyes.

He’s Mr. Right Times Ten. Sophisticated, wealthy, sexy, and completely devoted to her, body and soul. So what’s her problem?

Can’t she handle dating the Devil?

Today's Kindle SciFi/Fantasy Daily Deal is StarFire ($0.99), by Mike Lee [indie/Breakwater Harbor Books]. This is Military SciFi/Space Opera (which more than one on our account reads) and at under a buck, I'll buy it on the chance it has a decent story (Amazon usually only invites indie authors with significant sales to be on the daily deals, so it seems a safe bet).
Book Description
Captain Vince Lombard, G-Marine company commander, is tasked with tracking down a stray ship. The Alliance Military Ship StarFire has gone silent, and previous attempts to locate her have resulted in the loss of more ships. After two previous wars with xenospecies humanity bumped into while expanding into space, no one knows what might be the cause of StarFire's missing in action status. And internal politics between Fleet command and the Galactic Marine Corps might mean that, unless something is done, humanity may get the news it's at war with yet another new race about the time they show up to attack one of the human systems in the sector.

A prequel to the book "Fey," this story is a novelization of the story Vince related to Blondie in the previous book, which many readers requested. I'm happy to accomodate my readers by providing this novel-length version of that story
