The pre-order for
A Pizza To Die For, by Chris Cavender, has dropped to 99 cents at Amazon, matching the pre-order price at B&N.
Book Description
Though it's an unseasonably chilly October in Timber Ridge, North Carolina, Eleanor Swift is warm and cozy in A Slice of Delight--her scrumptious pizzeria. But when snooty Judson Sizemore breezes into town to open an upper-crust pizza parlor nearby, Eleanor's biggest worry is that her beloved restaurant's days may be numbered. . .until she hears Judson's days have come to a most gruesome end. . .
Since half the town saw Judson causing a ruckus in A Slice of Delight before he expired, Eleanor and her saucy sister, Maddie, are the prime suspects. The only way out is to prove their innocence. Soon, a little surreptitious sleuthing reveals that the dough behind Judson's impending pizzeria came from Timber Ridge's resident recluse: crusty oddball millionaire Nathan Pane. It turns out he's Judson's long-lost uncle. . .and someone is after him, too.
As Eleanor digs deeper, her suspect list grows longer than the local soccer team's pizza order--and life in the once quiet town heats up like Maddie's five-alarm Volcano pie. Could it be Judson's gold-digging sister? Or her secret boyfriend? Between working on the case, keeping her customers happy, and even finding time for an old flame, Eleanor's plate is full. But with an unhinged murderer closing in, she'll have to move very quickly--and very carefully--because the killer is already much closer than she thinks. . .
Includes delicious pizza recipe!
A Slice of Murder (
$0.99), by Chris Cavender, is the first in the same series and has just been dropped to this price at Amazon.
Book Description
Not too much happens in the sleepy little town of Timber Ridge, North Carolina--which is fine with pizza-purveyor extraordinaire Eleanor Swift. The spunky owner of A Slice of Delight is trying to mend her broken heart and could use a little quiet time. But when a late night delivery customer turns up dead, she's in for just the opposite in this delicious mystery series debut, featuring pizza as the prima character . . .
You can pre-order a special edition of
Once Dead, Twice Shy (
$1.99), the first in the
Madison Avery series by Kim Harrison, that will include excerpts from her other novels (one of which is bound to be the upcoming
Something Deadly This Way Comes in this same series; ignore the description on the Amazon product page on this one, as HarperCollins linked in the middle novel in the series for the description). You can sample this one from
the $7.99 edition, but if this young adult series is anything like her adult urban fantasy series, it's a can't miss selection.
Book Description
Step into another realm! Enjoy the complete Once Dead, Twice Shy along with excerpts from two other novels by bestselling author Kim Harrison.
My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.
Madison's prom was killer—literally. Now, thanks to a mysterious amulet, she's stuck on Earth: dead but not gone. She has no idea why the dark reaper who did her in was after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course. With a little skilled light-bending, the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys . . . maybe), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.
Well, if she believed in that stuff.

City of Dreams & Nightmare (
$4.79 Kindle,
Kobo
), by Ian Whates, along with the second in the
City of a Hundred Rows series,
City of Hope & Despair ($4.69 Kindle,
Kobo

I'm over half done and expect to finish it this weekend.

Plus one of his leading ladies, a gorgeous and naked soft-core movie queen, just might have a thing for him. Dale’s odd job becomes a life-changing adventure, and he’s enjoying the ride.By turns hilarious, wry, and deliciously erotic, Dale evokes the bizarre world of pornography and the people who inhabit it, and gives readers a story about finding love in the least likely of places.
