Books Amazon Made Me Buy

I own a kindle so sometimes I like to browse through the free or $0.99 books to see what there is. And it’s usually a lot. I’m also subscribed to the BookBub email, so I get alerts on kindle deals every day – which makes it even harder to resist books when they show up for free in my email.

Here are some of the more recent books Amazon made me buy!

Royalty is her blood, but ruling is her destiny
As the only human in a city of vampires and werewolves, Reina Caraway is no stranger to supernatural situations, but waking up in a vineyard with a bloody rose and a dead body at her feet is a little extreme even for her. Unknown bruises on her back only complicate her situation.

With a prophecy on her shoulders fating her to rule over both races in Le Couvènte, Reina has her fair share of pressure. Add her growing supernatural abilities, a stalker murderer able to cover up her scent, two rival vampires training her while competing for her heart, and even the Queen enlisting her aid, it’s just another typical day in Le Couvènte.

A supernatural Phantom of the Opera retelling with academy-highlights, you have the perfect recipe for murder, mystery, romance, and suspense set against the decadent, redwoods and wine-soaked backdrop of Northern California.

Genre: YA Fantasy Thriller
Goodreads

Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But it’s not a skill that she’s ever taken seriously. That is, until the FBI come knocking: they’ve begun a classified program that uses exceptional teenagers to crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.

What Cassie doesn’t realize is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved homicides—especially when she’s sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length.

Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms closer than Cassie could ever have imagined. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their gifts just to survive.

Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.

Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.

Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.

Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself.

Looking through, I thought it was way more books than this, but I’m proud it wasn’t like fifty. Free/cheap kindle books are irresistible for someone trying to stay on a budget (me) so I have no shame in my choices. I’m really excited to read all of these books though and can’t wait to eventually review them!
