Check out Daily Deals: Superheroes, Irish lasses, and crazy overspenders just posted at Dear Author. Sidekicked by John David Anderson. $ 1.99 AMZN | Apple From the Jacket Copy: Andrew Bean might be a part of H.E.R.O., a secret organization for the training of superhero sidekicks, but that doesn’t mean that life is all leaping tall buildings in single bounds. First, there’s Drew’s power: Possessed of super senses—his hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell are the most powerful on the planet—he’s literally the most sensitive kid in school. There’s his superhero mentor, a former legend who now spends more time straddling barstools than fighting crime. And then there’s his best friend, Jenna—their friendship would be complicated enough if she weren’t able to throw a Volkswagen the length of a city block. Add in trying to keep his sidekick life a secret from everyone, including his parents, and the truth is clear: Middle school is a drag even with superpowers. But this is all before a supervillain long thought dead returns to the city of Justicia, superheroes begin disappearing at an alarming rate, and Drew’s two identities threaten to crash head-on into each other. Drew has always found it pretty easy to separate right from wrong, good from evil. It’s what a superhero does. But what happens when that line starts to disappear? PW writes “Anderson tackles some heady topics, including superhero morality, teenage confusion, and divided loyalties, playing with the usual comic book tropes without treading on overly familiar ground (even for fans of Jack Ferraiolo’s similar 2011 novel, Sidekicks). There’s a lot to enjoy, from memorable characters to a complex yet accessible plot, in this superhero story that any comics fan will enjoy.” AmazonBNSony KoboBook DepositoryAREApple Google I See London by Chanel Cleeton. $ .99 From the Jacket Copy: Maggie Carpenter is ready for a change—and to leave her ordinary life in South Carolina behind. But when she accepts a scholarship to the International School in London, a university attended by the privileged offspring of diplomats and world leaders, Maggie might get more than she bargained for. When Maggie meets Hugh, a twentysomething British guy, she finds herself living the life she has always wanted. Suddenly she’s riding around the city in a Ferrari, wearing borrowed designer clothes and going to the hottest clubs. The only problem? Another guy, the one she can’t seem to keep her hands off of. Half French, half Lebanese and ridiculously wealthy, Samir Khouri has made it clear he doesn’t do relationships. He’s the opposite of everything Maggie thought she wanted?and he’s everything she can’t resist. Torn between her dream guy and the boy haunting her dreams, Maggie has to fight for her own happy ending. In a city like London, you never know where you stand, and everything can change in the blink of an eye. This book has a dreaded love triangle but at least it is resolved by the end of the book. I keep meaning to read it and now that it’s on sale, I can’t really say no. AmazonBNSonyKoboBook DepositoryAREAppleGoogle Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella. $ 1.99 From the Jacket Copy: There’s never been a better excuse to buy a new dress…or two. Shopaholic Ties the Knot The irresistible heroine of Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is back!–in a hilarious tale of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and one blushing bride who just can’t say no to saying “I do.” Life has been good for Becky Bloomwood: She’s become the best personal shopper at Barneys, she and her successful entrepreneurial boyfriend, Luke, are living happily in Manhattan’s West Village, and her new next door neighbor is a fashion designer! But with her best friend, Suze, engaged, how can Becky fail to notice that her own ring finger is bare? Not that she’s been thinking of marriage (or diamonds) or anything… Then Luke proposes! Bridal registries dance in Becky’s head. Problem is, two other people are planning her wedding: Becky’s overjoyed mother has been waiting forever to host a backyard wedding, with the bride resplendent in Mum’s frilly old gown. While Luke’s high-society mother is insisting on a glamorous, all-expenses-paid affair at the Plaza. Both weddings for the same day. And Becky can’t seem to turn down either one. Can everyone’s favorite shopaholic tie the knot before everything unravels? So she’s not really recovered from her addiction but has found a job that complements it. I guess that’s a good thing. Now she’s getting married and she has to go to two weddings? Sounds terrible. AmazonBNSonyKoboBook DepositoryAREApple Google Wild Angel by Miriam Minger. $ Free.

WILD ANGEL – Ronan was a legend among men…and the last thing he needed was a troublesome woman. Yet this fierce Irish warrior took a deathbed oath to protect a chieftain’s rebellious daughter.

But in the heat of battle–enflamed by her passionate spirit–Ronan decided he wanted this beautiful, impossible woman for himself! It’s free and it’s a historical. Beverly left this three star review on Amazon “This is one of over 100 free ebooks I felt compelled to download the first month I had my Kindle. So many books, this one included, sounded so good. Unfortunately, I have not taken the time to read this one, Yet. but I plan to.” She didn’t have any helpful votes. Other three star reviews suggest that the secondary characters save the story but the main conflict dragged on far too long.
