Sony is running a sale with 30 books marked down to $1 each and Amazon has matched the prices on many of them, which means you should be able to grab at least a few of these any of these regardless of which ereader you have. If you pick a few of them up from Sony, don't forget that you'll also get a
free book for purchasing 6 books in October (from their limited list). The main theme on this sale is Romance, but there are a few variations on it here and there. I've noted the Amazon prices where they haven't matched the Sony sale.
Succubus Blues (Kindle,
Sony), is the first novel in Richelle Mead's
Georgina Kincaid urban fantasy series, which I definitely recommend (hey, she gets free books and coffee! I'm jealous). The second in the series,
Succubus On Top ($4.99), is also on sale and has a
companion audiobook available (also $4.99).
Book Description
When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical?
But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't.
But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help because Georgina's about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny. . .
