See my previous installment.
Again, I dug for--and found--some shiny nuggets of gold in the giant mine that is Amazon:
Young Adult Contemporary. This one was a rare find. I downloaded this as a freebie a while ago, not expecting much. But what I got was a sweet, sexy, well-written romance that I could not put down. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to spend time with these characters. And it's set in the 90s, when I was a teen. The sequel to this is out today and I can't wait to read it.
Young Adult Fantasy. This one has romance, adventure, mystery, and a fast-moving, engaging plot. Really fun, well-written read. There are virtually NO typos in this book, which I always appreciate. Branded is the first in a trilogy. Part two, Stranded, is already out. I haven't had a chance to read it yet but I'm looking forward to it.
Adult Thriller. I got this as a freebie as well, again not expecting much. I knew from the first chapter that I'd like it. It has kind of a creepy feel to it, and the story is very compelling. I read it in one sitting. It's set in 1968, and there are a couple of problems with 21st-century-sounding dialogue, but it doesn't take away from the story. Worth the read, for sure.
And that concludes another edition of Indie Gems. Stay tuned for more.
just wanted to thank you for boosting my novel, The Answer to Your Question, on your Indie gems! I'm so pleased you liked it. Thanks so much for the mention. Best, Paulette
