The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Bad Luck Cadet by Suzie Ivy

The genre is Memoir with a 5 star rating at only 99 Cents!

“I read this book in one sitting and hated to see it end. What a great story of life and perseverance. Oh, and I almost forgot, laughter. I cheered for Suzie every step of the way. I laughed and cried with her. It was wonderful to see someone refuse to give up, take a realistic look at what they want in life and then go after it. I don’t think this book is just for women but I do think it gives us females a new hero. Yes, she’s 45-years-old but she’s what every woman can achieve if she sets her mind to it. I’m in the middle years of raising my children. I love being a mom but once upon a time I dreamed of being a veterinarian. Suzie made me realize I can someday achieve my dream. READ THIS BOOK! My husband is engrossed right now. I just saw him smile.” –Amanda Borden (Amazon Review) 

_______________________________________________________

At the age of twenty-five you have your whole life in front of you. When you’re forty-four years old, forty pounds overweight, and laying in bed with a broken hip, what do you have? Depression, red wine and no future, or so Suzie Ivy thought.

An advertisement on a drugstore bulletin board changed Suzie’s thinking and lands her in the police academy. Was she out of her mind? No, and she decided to live up to the challenge. The biggest question; is the Police Academy ready for Suzie Ivy?

This story is filled with determination, full body muscle pain and laughter. Did you know, to pass the new polygraph testing, you sit on butt plates because your butt cheeks clench when you lie? Or how a normal person feels after being administered the rigorous psychological testing with the end result for passing being low pay, enormous amounts of stress, and the pleasure of working graveyard shifts? The advertisement should have read, “Crazy People Wanted.”

The Bad Luck Cadet is Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, from Full Metal Jacket, training both Thelma and Louise wrapped up in one five foot three inch package. The test of wills begin, but who will survive?

The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Steps to Heaven by Wendy Cartmell

The genre is Mystery with a 4.5 star rating at only 99 Cents!

“I really liked this mystery. I got into the story very quickly and was pulled along by the author’s style. This woman knows how to write! Sergeant Major Crane is a dogged investigator with the SIB, Army Branch. He is believable if not always likeable. In this book he is looking into a murder/suicide and cannot let the case go. I’m looking forward to reading more by this author.” –Dandy Dan (Amazon Review) 

_______________________________________________________

Sergeant Major Crane, a Special Investigations Branch Investigator, in the Armed Forces, is a proud, dedicated and experienced soldier, constrained by the Army structure, but adept at manipulating the system. He and his young team of Staff Sergeant Billy Williams and Sergeant Kim Weston, based at Aldershot Garrison, have to investigate one of the most horrific cases they have ever taken on. A soldier who has deliberately murdered his wife and 6 year old son and then committed suicide.

Crane wants to know what is behind this horrific act, but has to battle against cynical opposition from his Officer Commanding, Captain James Edwards who makes him investigate a different crime. But Crane is vindicated when a second copy cat murder suicide by a soldier in Colchester is followed by a third in Catterick. Paralleling these investigations, Crane’s wife Tina wants a decision on whether they should start a family. A decision Crane is unable to make, haunted as he is by the deaths of three young boys.

All three soldiers had served in Afghanistan and all had religious pamphlets, making Crane ask himself what the soldiers wanted to be saved from? Do the pamphlets offer salvation, or slaughter? Crane doggedly pursues his theory that there is a religious connection between each murder/suicide, manipulating his colleagues to his own ends as he goes. But Crane is at risk of going too far, putting those close to him in danger.

99 Cents, A Madison Knight Novel, Carolyn Arnold, ebooks, fiction, Indie author, Indie books, kindle, Mystery, thriller, Ties That Bind

The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Ties That Bind (A Madison Knight Novel) by Carolyn Arnold

The genre is Mystery with a 4.5 star rating at only 99 Cents!

“TIES THAT BIND by Carolyn Arnold is a fast paced crime novel with surprising twists and turns to keep the pages turning quickly and her readers on their toes. As the first in the Madison Knight Series, Carolyn made a big impression on me with her strong, female, lead character as a Major Crimes Detective with a bit of a soft side. Madison is smack in the middle of a crime spree that she needs to concentrate on solving before someone else dies; if that is not enough she must deal with the personal issues of her partner, plus gaining the respect she deserves from her superiors, and all the while trying to keep her own emotions and demons in check. It’s no wonder she turns to chocolate. (Hey, we all have vices)  This detective series has a Law and Order feel to it and the suspense keeps the novel flying by. Great work Ms. Arnold!” -Kim Norris from The Kindle Book Review (Amazon Review)

_______________________________________________________

Detective Madison Knight concluded the case of a strangled woman an isolated incident. But when another woman’s body is found in a park killed by the same line of neckties, she realizes they’re dealing with something more serious.

Despite mounting pressure from the Sergeant and Chief to close the case even if it means putting an innocent man behind bars, and a partner who is more interested in saving his marriage than stopping a potential serial killer, Madison may have to go it alone if there’s not going to be another victim.

99 Cents, Blood Like Poison, cheap ebooks, ebook, fiction, Indie authors, Indie books, kindle, M. Leighton, Paranormal YA, vampires

The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Blood Like Poison: For the Love of a Vampire (Book 1) by M. Leighton

The genre is Paranormal YA with a 4.5 star rating at only 99 Cents!

“This book was amazing. By far one of the most creative vampire stories out there. Not only were the characters real but they had my attention from the get go. I found myself completely wrapped up in their lives and wanting to know more about them, even the bad guys. I can’t wait to read the sequel and just hope that I won’t have to wait too long for the last book to come out. I can already tell that I will be waiting on pins and needles to see what happens next.  Leighton is a truly talented author that has a way with words that just flow right off the pages and into your heart.” -MLPMom (Amazon Review)

_______________________________________________________

Like most seventeen year olds, Ridley Heller thought she had her future all planned out. What she wanted most in life was to get out of small town Harker. Her only goal was to keep her mouth shut and her grades high so she could win a cheerleading scholarship to Stanford. But that was before she met Bo.

In Ridley’s wildest dreams, she could never have planned for someone like Bo, for a love so intense it left her breathless. No human girl could.

A haunting stranger that watched her from afar, Bo stole Ridley’s heart from the moment she laid eyes on him. But he has secrets. Bo’s a vampire. Both his past and his present are a danger to Ridley, but the biggest threat is not her blood; it’s her heart. He’s feeding a thirst for revenge that will cost him his life, and it may already be too late.

The more darkness Ridley uncovers, the more she realizes that her life will never be the same—with or without Bo. Can she sacrifice her future and her heart for someone who has a death wish?
