Here’s the set-up for Katie Salidas’ Pandora’s Box, just $2.99 on Kindle:

After a few months as a vampire, Alyssa thought she’d learned all she needed to know about the supernatural world. But her confidence is shattered by the delivery of a mysterious package – a Pandora’s Box.

Seemingly innocuous, the box is in reality an ancient prison, generated by a magic more powerful than anyone in her clan has ever known. But what manner of evil could need such force to contain it?

When the box is opened, the sinister creature within is released, and only supernatural blood will satiate its thirst. The clan soon learns how it feels when the hunter becomes the hunted.

Powerless against the ancient evil, the clan flees Las Vegas for Boston, with only a slim hope for salvation. Could Lysander’s old journals hold the key? And what if they don’t?

And how welcome will they be in a city run by a whole different kind of supernatural being?

From the reviewers:

I loved Pandora’s Box and Katie’s very creative and brilliant imagination. She has yet to disappoint my expectations for a great addition to this series. I would recommend not on Pandora’s Box, but the entire Immortalis series to the most faithful vampire lover. – Nora Barteau

I recommend the Immortalis Vampire Series. Each book Katie adds a new element and book three completely surprised me. – “jims”

This was a great installment to the Immortalis Series. I loved the introduction to a new supernatural species – Werewolves. Salidas did a great job of not over-doing it with this phenomenal breed. Though we still see their strength, they do not overpower the actual plot of this series. – b.K. Drury

I totally enjoyed the third book in the series. Katie gave us a further look into Lysander’s old life, as well as opening our eyes to the mythology surrounding the supernatural world that she’s created. – N. Medina

May 7, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Inglath Cooper’s Truths and Roses, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

First love. Second chances. Secrets with the power to change lives.

When Will Kincaid’s professional football career comes to an abrupt end in a single night, he’s left to figure out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. He heads home to the small Virginia town where he grew up and crosses paths with Hannah Jacobs, the only girl in high school who had ever rejected him.

It’s Hannah who once made him question the choices he had made, and it’s Hannah who’s making him question them all over again. But with the weight of a secret he’s managed to hide from the world his entire adult life hanging over him, he can’t afford to question his choices.

Hannah Jacobs had once made the choice to deny her feelings for Will Kincaid, at the time finding it the only possible option for a young girl intent on burying a nightmare she only wanted to forget. The life she’s made for herself as a librarian in Lake Perdue is a quiet one, and she’s hardly prepared for the day when Will rams his fancy Ferrari into her dependable old clunker. But for Hannah, Will Kincaid can only stir up memories she had long ago put away forever. And there’s nothing at all good that can come from bringing them back to life again.

From the reviewers:

I really enjoyed this book. I needed an escape and this was the best way to do it! I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story and loved watching the two characters come out of their self imposed shells of protection. Each chapter pulled me deeper into the story and I was rooting these two characters on in hopes that they could have their happy ending! – “dandysandy”

I loved it!! What a wonderful story of how love can truly withstand any obstacle! Once I started I sure didn’t want to stop reading…and couldn’t wait to start again!! – “Suz”

This is a story that not only can a lot of people connect to but it’s one you can actually believe in and not just some whimsical fairy tale that we dream of but know can or would never really happen. The author really delivered on this one, it kept me glued to the pages and is filled with the – “infla”

Small town sports hero returns home to change his life and the one he loves. Really enjoy the story line of two people trying to find themselves and deal with life’s challenges. They discover their strengths and build upon them to grow and develop into a team of life together. Kept me reading non-stop to the end. Looking forward to many more of Inglath Cooper’s novels. – “shilomek”

I love books! From my earliest memories, I loved being read to and then reading practically every book in my elementary school library. There’s something about taking a little trip into a wonderful story that is its own unique pleasure.

Over the years, my favorite authors have provided me with glimpses into worlds I would never have known had I not picked up their books. From Beverley Cleary to Lavyrle Spencer to Jodi Piccoult to Anita Shreve and so many others, I am grateful they chose to become storytellers.

A great story has the power to move, change and shape its readers. To me, that’s an honorable calling and a task I aspire to.

**Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: E.A. Rigg’s CASEY BARNES EPONYMOUS is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, with 4.4 Stars on 12 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!**

May 6, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for E.A. Rigg’s Casey Barnes Eponymous, just $2.99 on Kindle:

Three weeks into the school year, music junkie Casey Barnes gets a second chance with the mysterious ex-boyfriend whose name she has not even been able to say.

In hopes of saving studentkind from the hell that is high school, Casey has been slipping song playlists to fellow students while working in the library. When she gets another chance with her ex, she schemes to win him back by giving him one of the lists.

Her plan works, but not quite in the way she hopes, and she realizes that truly winning him back will be a lot harder than choosing some killer songs. Namely, she will need to get the attention of the whole school in a way no one has ever done before.

Casey Barnes Eponymous is the debut novel by award-winning writer E.A. Rigg. For songs of the day and more follow the book on twitter, @CaseyBarnesEpon, or at the Casey Barnes Eponymous page on Facebook.

From the reviewers:

Casey Barnes Eponymous is an awesome music lover read with talk about various bands big and small, rocker clothing, and a talent show. Being a music lover myself, I of course enjoyed this novel. – Meghan @ Books and A Cup of Tea

Casey is the kind of girl I wish I knew when I was in high school. Her journey is not only fun, but touching. You can’t help but root for her. The dialogue is dead on teen, particularly the teenager of 2012. But underneath all the glib words are the same emotions and angst that all adolescents experience. Play lists were cool. A fun, breezy read that would make a good movie. – D.B. Gilles

I don’t really consider myself a music person, but I could definitely appreciate the music in this book. It was a central part of it, and the author definitely knows music. If you’re someone who loves music, this is a good book for you. – Amanda’s Writings

What caught my attention most about this story is that the main character. There is not a lot of scenes that are overly angsty and actually handled pretty well in my opinion. Most of the conflicts are actually settled through honesty and talking to each other. The story flowed with kind of a laid back mellow feel to it, great contemporary teen read that rocks. – “KristaCubicleblindness”

About the Author

I’m currently working on my second novel, which will be the first book of a series. Other fun stuff…I have one short story online, one that was adapted for national radio, and I used to be in a band.

May 5, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Bryan Cohen’s The Post-College Guide to Happiness, just $2.99 on Kindle:

The world can be a bit negative sometimes, which is kind of like saying rain is wet. Smiles have been replaced by cell phones and cynical is the new normal. The pursuit of happiness has been changed into the pursuit of dollars and in a tough economic climate, it’s a race most of us are losing. Comedian and author Bryan Cohen thinks that it’s time to remember what happiness is all about. He believes that normal people like you without diamond wearing Chihuahuas can still be happy with a few changes to your attitude, your beliefs and a short training routine to build up your joy.

Cohen has laid out 35 exercises that you can use to create a happiness workout plan to help you in the following areas:

· Keeping your negative thoughts at bay and learning to control your emotions
· Finding things to like about the job you hate and how to quit it to start a job you love
· Loving the one you’re with and strengthening your family’s happiest memories
· Learning more about yourself and what you’re good at without requiring a masters degree
· Embracing silence in a world overrun by digital doohickeys
· Finding time and energy to embrace your creative side and live your dreams
· Making your beliefs inclusive and turning to spirituality for health and wealth
Whether you’re just graduating from college or headed into retirement age, The Post-College Guide to Happiness will help you turn that pessimism upside down and put you back on the path to a happier life. After years of joyous research, Cohen has found the most effective happiness boosters from all sorts of places, including business books, self-help audio programs, autobiographies, spiritual classics and even his experiences to get you out of your funk for good. If you’ve had no luck looking for happiness in all the wrong places, pick up this book and learn how to look forward to life again.

From the reviewers:

This is an extremely enlightening book. Even if you think you don’t need it, it is worth a read. Simple philosophies with easy hands on methods. It is also not a long book. I liked the simple humor, easy to relate to examples and the recap chapter at the end that helps reinforce the concepts. – Margaret

I Loved this book it was a great inside view on what to expect it made things alot easier to understand. I passed this book on to my Niece who will be attending collage this fall and i know this book will help her out as much as its helped me. If you do not have this book i strongly suggest you get it. – April Alvey

All in all this is a really good study of some fundamental ways to make our lives happier, healthier and more satisfactory, no matter what our circumstances. I will definitely be using some of these exercises in the future. – Colleen T.

Even better than the first! Once again, Cathy Wiley knocks it out of the park!

Good story by a very clever and interesting author. I was not familiar with her work, but have ordered more of her books after reading this. I appreciate the low cost for a good book! – Mary Ann

I loved Dead to Writes, and immediately upon finishing, I got Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Write. This will be a fun, witty and suspenseful mystery series and I am already going through “Cassie Withdraw” — give me more. – “naturerabbi”

May 3, 2012 by KND

Here’s the set-up for Stephen Maitland-Lewis’ Emeralds Never Fade, just $3.99 on Kindle:

Before World War II, two German boys enjoy playing piano, and one visits each week to teach the other. When the Nazis seize power, the lessons must end — one of the boys is Jewish.

Leo Bergner, the Jewish pupil, escapes Germany while his piano teacher, Bruno Franzmann, is called to serve the Fatherland. As the war ends, Bruno escapes to Buenos Aires and Leo begins a career in banking, only to uncover a conspiracy of Jewish persecution that puts him in direct opposition to his beloved Israel, while also jeopardizing his career, his marriage, and his life.

In Argentina, Bruno hatches an unscrupulous plot to finance a multi-national corporation, and in time, his efforts require a business trip to London — his first visit to Europe since he escaped. After forty years, a lost family heirloom will decide their fate.
