The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Enemy in Blue by Derek Blass

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

“For action, body-count and digging into the underworld of police politics – this is really a great read. However, I think the best asset of the novel is the incredible drawing of the antagonist – the evil Sergeant Shaver really shines.
Throughout the novel, this is the guy who drives the story. Shaver is persistent, tough and thoroughly without redemption. He steps off the page and into your life and you just know there’s a real life Shaver out there in the world.
The action is unending – there isn’t much time for relaxing between scenes. Blass keeps you on your toes throughout.
I’m a sucker for cop stories, anyway, but I really enjoyed this book!” –Kathy Lynn Hall (Amazon Review)

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 St Patrick’s Day Special (Ben Jordan) by JJ Toner

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

“Secure your seat belt before embarking on this ride! Just a warning to expect twists and turns aplenty on JJ Toner’s wild crime ride. I’d say that this was a page-turner and if I was just reading to be entertained that would be true. But, I’m also a writer and I had to keep stopping to make notes on his techniques that I plan to steal for my own writing! I’ll leave it to others to deliver the plot points–I’ll just say that the tension never leaves the page and Ben Jordan doesn’t spiral down into the abyss–he plunges into it head-first. And, lest you think all is grim on the Toner landscape, the black humor he employs at just the right moment lightens the read with delicious and perfect pitch. Get this book and then keep your eyes open for his next one!” –Les Edgerton (Amazon Review)

Black Beast, cheap ebooks, ebooks, fiction, Indie author, Indie books, kindle, R.S. Guthrie, thriller

The Cheap Kindle Daily read is Black Beast: A Clan of MacAulay Novel by R.S. Guthrie

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

“Whew! What a thrilling ride! You can’t even begin to guess what’s coming next, even if you’re a seasoned horror/mystery reader. I love the humanity written into Bobby Mac, whose misfortunes are unbelievably intense and…believable…even if they are fantasy. Or are they? This is a read that will leave you questioning what, indeed, you really do know about heaven and hell, or your family and friends. Author Guthrie has a winner in this first novel of his, and his language and dialog skills make this a smooth, brilliant read!” –W. Jo BonVargen (Amazon Review) 

_______________________________________________________

Decorated Denver Detective Bobby Macaulay has faced down a truckload of tragedy over recent years. The death of his partner; the loss of his own leg in the line of duty; the companionship of his beloved wife to cancer; his faith in God to his inner demons.

After the man who ruined his leg and killed his first partner is executed, Macaulay becomes the lead detective investigating the Sloan’s Lake murders. The method of killing in this double-homicide is so heinous it leads Macaulay and his partner down an ever-darkening path–one that must be traversed if they are to discover the evil forces behind the slaughter.

Just when Bobby Macaulay is questioning the very career that has been his salvation, he will discover a heroic history buried within his own family roots: The Clan MacAulay–a deep family lineage of protectors at the very core of a millenniums-long war against unimaginable evil.

“Black Beast” is the first in a series of “Clan of MacAulay” novels–a stellar first outing for new author R.S. Guthrie. The book is a page-turner that avoids meandering, written with tight prose that keeps the action flowing. The reader is taken inside the heart and mind of a common hero who will make you believe in good again–Macaulay is a believable, flawed character with whom each of us can relate and for whom each of us will cheer.

The Cheap Kindle Daily read is An Indecent Death by David Anderson

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

“An Indecent Death is an entertaining read! It features lots of interesting characters to keep you guessing on who committed the crime, plus a quirky and endearing main character (Nicholas Drumm) tasked with solving the mystery. Drumm exposes a suprisingly seamy side to the outwardly mundane world of elementary schools and their teachers. The book is fast-paced, engaging, and well worth your time!” –Morgan (Amazon Review) 

_______________________________________________________

When sexy, seventh grade teacher Paula Noonan is found murdered in a nearby park, Detective Sergeant Nicholas Drumm of the York Police Services is called in.

Drumm’s previous experience as an elementary teacher comes in handy when the investigation leads him to Paula’s school, and a host of suspects, including the school’s creepy janitor, an abusive spouse, the principal, a moody and leering fifth grade teacher and the angry and aggressive father of one of her students.

It soon becomes obvious that Paula Noonan’s provocative dress and unconventional behavior are contributing factors in her death.

Wrestling with his health, an emotional ex-girlfriend who wants to get back together with him and a self-destructive colleague, Drumm works through the lies and misdirections that are set before him to uncover the surprising truth.

An exciting and intriguing story, An Indecent Death will keep you guessing until the end.

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.
