Kindle Deals | March 20, 2026

Hey everyone! I don’t know how frequently I will point out Kindle deals, but I found some more good ones and wanted to share. As always make sure you double check the prices as many of them are likely limited time offers. Enjoy!

Katabasis – $1.99 -Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.

That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.

Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams….

Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.

With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like.

But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.

The Amalfi Curse – $2.99 (or KU!)Haven Ambrose, a trailblazing nautical archaeologist, has come to the sun-soaked village of Positano to investigate the mysterious shipwrecks along the Amalfi Coast. But Haven is hoping to find more than old artifacts beneath the azure waters; she is secretly on a quest to locate a trove of priceless gemstones her late father spotted on his final dive. Upon Haven’s arrival, strange maelstroms and misfortunes start plaguing the town. Is it nature or something more sinister at work?

As Haven searches for her father’s sunken treasure, she begins to unearth a centuries-old tale of ancient sorcery and one woman’s quest to save her lover and her village by using the legendary art of stregheria, a magical ability to harness the ocean. Could this magic be behind Positano’s latest calamities? Haven must unravel the Amalfi Curse before the region is destroyed forever…

Against the dazzling backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, this bewitching novel shimmers with mystery, romance and the untamed magic of the sea.

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires – $1.99Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.

One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor’s handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. 

Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

An Arcane Inheritance – $1.99 – Warren University has stood amongst the ivy elite for centuries, built on the bones—and forbidden magic—of its most prized BIPOC students…hiding the rot of a secret society that will do anything to keep their own powers burning bright. No matter who they must sacrifice along the way.

Ellory Morgan is determined to prove that she belongs at Warren University, an ivy league school whose history is deeply linked to occult rumors and dark secrets. But as she settles into her Freshman year, something about the ornate buildings and shadowy paths feels strangely…familiar. And, with every passing day, that sense of déjà vu grows increasingly sinister.

Despite all logic, despite all reason, despite all the rules of reality, Ellory knows one thing to be true: she has been here before. And if she can’t convince brooding legacy student Hudson Graves to help her remember a past that seems determined to slip through her fingers as if by some insidious magic…this time, she may lose herself for good.

Voyage of the Damned – $1.99For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

Review | A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

Sam Montgomery is worried about her mother. She seems anxious, jumpy, and she’s begun making mystifying changes to the family home on Lammergeier Lane. Sam figures it has something to do with her mother’s relationship to Sam’s late, unlamented grandmother.

She’s not wrong.

As vultures gather around the house and frightful family secrets are unearthed under the rosebushes, Sam struggles to unravel the truth about the house on Lammergeier Lane before it consumes her and everyone else who stands in its way…

Amazon | Goodreads

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Be warned, if you have a bug ick, go into this book knowing there is a lot of talk and descriptions of bugs. Lots of bugs.

That being said, we follow Sam, who is an entomologist as she goes home to visit her mother. Not just because her job is on hold, but also to check on her mom and make sure she’s ok. When she arrives, she definitely understands why there is concern, as it seems her mother has lost a lot of weight and her personality/memories seem to have been altered in some way – or have they?

I thoroughly enjoy T. Kingfisher’s brand of horror and am slowly reading a lot of her backlist, but I wouldn’t say this one was my favorite. For me the pacing seemed a little slow, though it was very atmospheric and definitely creepy. I enjoyed Sam as a main character, with her blend of scientific logic and fierce concern for her mother. I also really appreciated the twist on family and generational trauma that this put a lens to, specifically how those who raised you can shape you and their flaws, good or bad.

Happy reading!

Review | Fangs of Fate by Rebecca Parcha

Tate Aaralyn is both prey and predator—a duality that defines her. Beyond the veil that separates worlds, lies the the home of vampires. There, she is prey—fragile, weak, her flaws laid bare. She is a vampire who struggles with the ethics of feeding. And yet, in the human realm she is the executioner of justice.

But when Tate is sent to a disciplinary hearing that results in forced enlistment to the gaura, her worst nightmare is made real. In desperation to make a lasting difference, Tate faces her biggest challenge yet—Aether, a vampire unlike any other.

As lines blur, she must navigate the labyrinth of lies and embrace her newfound power, all while questioning her mysterious bond to the male who has managed to capture her heart and, somehow, earn her trust.

Chance Dale may be the president’s son, but even with his birthright he is, by all accounts, a disappointment. After witnessing evil evolving and the violation of life as he knows it, Chance must find a way to defeat the dark magic before it spreads. The world of politics becomes nuanced, and he is forced to question the very statutes that have guided his life or watch everything he’s worked for burn.

Chance’s quest to secure the Glenn from foreign powers has his path crossing with Tate’s—his former lover and deepest regret. As the truth unravels, he must choose between the love he once had or the one he could have. Worse yet, that very love could soon become the enemy he hunts.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

I’ve been venturing more and more into romantasy so was immediately interested in this one when I read the blurb, so jumped at the chance to listen to the casted audiobook. Be prepared for a fast moving story, told from dual POVs of Tate and Chance. We’re immediately introduced to a world where vampires are a dominant power, but still move in the shadows in a lot of ways. We immediately know that there are multiple factions at play and that something very wrong is coming to a head.

The characters have clear identities, with Tate being fierce but also dealing with deep trauma. Chance seems to go through a lot of internal push and pull and I can tell that in the second book we may see even more struggling from his perspective.

As all the pieces start falling into place it’s revealed that there is far more at stake than anyone thought and I can only imagine how things are being set up for the characters. The last third of the book especially flew by as things really took shape and the characters really had to decide where they stood. While it’s clear at the end that there will be more to the story, it was still a satisfying close to the first chapter.

Thanks to Iris Influencer Society and Rebecca Parcha for gifting me an ALC of this title! Happy reading!

Review | The Wizard’s Way by Lisa Kelly

Magic runs in her blood. She just doesn’t know it yet.

Twelve-year-old Katie didn’t expect much from a summer at her grandfather’s creepy old mansion—certainly not strange voices echoing up the fireplace or a magical scroll that opens a portal to another world. But when her grandfather vanishes, Katie discovers a hidden realm called O’Mirra…and a mission she can’t ignore.

With her little sister Jenny and a young apprentice wizard named Aiden, Katie must brave a cursed swamp, battle twisted creatures, and unlock her hidden powers to bring her grandfather home. But a dark force called Diabolus has bound itself to Madgar, a power-hungry would-be king determined to conquer O’Mirra. If Katie can’t master her magic in time, she’ll lose not only her grandfather—but her very soul.

Author Website | Amazon | Goodreads

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Two sisters, a missing grandfather and a portal to another world – what could go wrong?

In The Wizard’s Way we primarily follow Katie, a 12 year old who is dealing with the recent divorce of her parents which she blames herself for and the fact that she always feels out of place – and her sister Jenny, an 11 year old who is nearly her opposite. In the wake of their parents divorce they go to stay with their grandfather. Both sisters have different opinions about their parents’ divorce so there’s definitely some friction and disagreements.

The story really picks up when their grandfather disappears to another world and Katie and Jenny decide that they are the ones to save him.

The story does start slow, but once it gets going there’s a lot of adventure, growth, a little coming of age and a bunch of fun characters to meet. Katie and Jenny are far more complex than you would think in a middle grade, both with their unique personalities, insecurities and feelings.

There is a decent amount of world building that perhaps brings down the pace a little, but once the story really gets going it will fully absorb you. This is slated to be the first in a series, so it will be interesting to see what happens with Katie and Jenny in coming books.

Thanks to the author for reaching out and sending me a copy of this one!

Happy reading!

Kindle Deals | March 10, 2026

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I featured any Kindle deals, but I was perusing (as one does) and saw some great deals, so I thought I’d share them with you. As always make sure you double check the prices as many of them are likely limited time offers. Enjoy!

Hemlock and Silver – $2.99 – Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save— seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all.

Shanghai Immortal – $0.99 – Half vampire, half fox-spirit, and all trouble, Lady Jing has never belonged anywhere. As the King of Hell’s ward, she has spent the past ninety years dodging taunts from vicious courtiers and trying – and failing – to control her temper.

So when she overhears the courtiers plotting to steal a priceless pearl, she seizes her chance to expose them.

With the help of gentle mortal Tony Lee, Jing embarks on a chase for intel, through Hell and into jazz-age Shanghai. But when her hijinks put Tony in danger, she must decide which is more important: avenging her loss of face, or a chance for tenderness – and maybe even love . . .

The Lies That Summon the Night – $1.99From the art of liars, the monsters came . . .

Ever since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden and talented creators sacrificed to the Sinless—the immortal royals who feast on human blood in return for their protection.

Inana’s secret storytelling nearly got her killed once, and she’ll be damned if she’s ever caught again. With a bounty on her head, she keeps to the city’s dark underbelly, where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until Dominic, a Shadowbane, catches one of her performances.

Dominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But to complete his hunt, he needs an artist to summon the shadows . . . he needs Inana. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: Serve him or he’ll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left, the choice is clear—at least until she can betray him and leave him for dead.

As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, dark secrets unravel—about each other, their world, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There’s something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

Killer On The Road/The Babysitter Lives – $1.99The Babysitter Lives

When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying: the SATs are tomorrow, and checking the Native American/Alaskan Native box on all the forms won’t help if she chokes on test day. But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes.

Charlotte’s last babysitting gig almost ended in tragedy when her young charge sleepwalked unnoticed into the middle of the street, only to be found unharmed by Charlotte’s mother. Charlotte vows to be extra careful this time. But the house is filled with mysterious noises and secrets that only the twins understand, echoes of horrors that Charlotte gradually realizes took place in the house eleven years ago. Soon Charlotte has to admit that every babysitter’s worse nightmare has come true: they’re not alone in the house.

Killer on the Road

Sixteen-year-old Harper has decided to run away from home after she has another blow-out argument with her mother. However, her two best friends, little sister, and ex-boyfriend all stop her from hitchhiking her way up Route 80 in Wyoming by joining her on an intervention disguised as a road trip. What they don’t realize is that Harper has been marked by a very unique serial killer who’s been trolling the highway for the past three years, and now the killer is after all of them in this fast-paced and deadly chase novel that will have your heart racing well above the speed limit as the interstate becomes a graveyard.

Happy reading!

Review | Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz

You don’t have to eat food to know the way to a city’s heart is through its stomach. So when a group of deactivated robots come back online in an abandoned ghost kitchen, they decide to make their own way doing what they making food—the tastiest hand-pulled noodles around—for the humans of San Francisco, who are recovering from a devastating war.

But when their robot-run business starts causing a stir, a targeted wave of one-star reviews threatens to boil over into a crisis. To keep their doors open, they’ll have to call on their customers, their community, and each other—and find a way to survive and thrive in a world that wasn’t built for them.

Amazon | Goodreads

Rating: 4 out of 5.

What happens when a group of robots wake up to discover their business shut down without any communication and debts they need to pay? They run the restaurant themselves!

Automatic Noodle tells the story of 4 robots who ‘wake up’ to discover that a number of months ago they had been shut down by their contract holders with no warning. Facing their own debts and wanting to stick together they need to figure out a way to re-open their restaurant, the way they want to.

On the surface this sounds purely like a fun and cozy sci fi, but there’s lots of commentary through the robots eyes that hit very close to home in the current climate. California is its own nation after a war with the rest of America, and working on rebuilding. One of the changes? Robots have civil rights…but not all rights. It’s very reminiscent of the gradual gaining of rights after slavery ended, or after women started getting rights (such as being able to have their own bank accounts…which here, robots cannot). The robots are in constant fear of being discovered while also trying to make enough money to survive without being sold off.

The relationships between the robots (and some human friends) are genuine and each of their personalities is unique. It’s a quick read, but definitely has a lot of heart at its core, tackling subject and prejudices that are common even today.

Happy reading!

March – TBR Card Challenge

The TBR card challenge is back! I’m not going to harp on about how horrendous 2025 was but needless to say my TBR game definitely went by the wayside. If you don’t know what I’m referring to, it’s a game that was inspired by a couple booktubers a long time ago. You can read more about the original iteration here (the board and prompts have changed a lot since then, but the premise is the same).

Let’s take a look at this month’s picks!

Some great picks this month, that’s for sure!

Now technically the aim of this challenge for me is to get through my physical TBR, but I couldn’t resist putting one of my most anticipated reads on since I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy – Behind Five Willows by June Hur (out May 26th). Do I own every one of her books, yes. Will I auto buy pretty much anything she creates? Also yes.

For 5-star prediction and Horror/Thriller I decided to carry over a couple of books I had hoped to read in February but didn’t manage to get to – Automatic Noodle and Midnight Timetable. I’m forever trying to complete the Fruits Basket series, so of course when Manga/Graphic Novel comes up it’s either going to be Fruits Basket or Spy X Family. Finally I rounded out my selection with two new books that just came out The Calico Kitten at the Chibineko Kitchen and The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

What are you reading this month?

Happy reading!

Check-in | Alphabet Reading Challenge

I have a number of challenges that I like to push myself with, one being the alphabet reading challenge. I’ve never been able to completely finish it, but maybe this is the year. I ignore words like ‘the’ and ‘a’ for this. Let’s look at where I am so far this year –

Not to bad of a start for being 2 months in and not really looking at where I was until now, I think. I’ll do periodic check-ins as I fill in more of the missing letters.

Who else is doing this challenge?

Review | Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang

Graphic novel superstars Gene Luen Yang and LeUyen Pham join forces in this heartwarming rom-com about fate, family, forgiveness, and lion dancing.

Valentina Tran was named after Valentine’s Day, which used to be her favorite holiday. But when Val learns the truth behind what happened with her parents and why she’s being raised by a single father, she realizes true love is a lie. This is reinforced when she meets the spirit of Saint Valentine, who tells her she and her family are cursed to always be unlucky in love. Val is ready to give into her fate, until one Lunar New Year festival, where a mysterious lion dancer hands her a paper heart, and ZING. Val becomes determined to change her destiny, prove Saint Valentine wrong, and give her heart to the right person.

Meanwhile, lion dancing is the only thing that has given Jae peace after his dad passed away. It’s also what keeps him connected to his father’s side of the family. Both Jae and his cousin Leslie notice Val at the Lunar New Year festival, and for some inexplicable reason, Jae hands Val a paper heart. But it’s Leslie, with his K-Pop good looks, who starts to date Val. Jae still feels this connection with Val and feels it’s somehow tied to how he feels about losing his father.

Both Val and Jae struggle with the spirits who haunt them as they are inextricably brought together in a love story that is satisfying, sweet, and moving.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

As a kid, Valentina believes in true love and has an imaginary friend who helps her create valentines every year for Valentine’s Day which is not only her favorite holiday but also her birthday. As she gets older certain truths come to light and she comes to realize that love isn’t the easy fairytale she once thought it was. She has to navigate the hard truths that come with being a teenager, the child of a single parent, figuring out not only who she is but who she wants to be and how much she values certain relationships.

This story is not only about the complications of young love (or love in general), but also struggles with family and how they might let you down, finding your own identity outside of what is expected of you and more. Hands down my favorite portions were all the talk and depiction of lion dancing, they were beautifully illustrated and perfectly accompany Valentina’s story.

Happy reading!
