Gracie and the Trouble with Pinatas
by Carol Kilgore
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.5 #ad
What you see is not always what you get. In fact, what you see may be nothing at all.
Finding a woman attacked and left for dead in her driveway hadn’t been anywhere near San Antonio law enforcement consultant Gracie Hofner’s cold January plans. She immediately jumps into action and soon discovers a link to what appears to be a benign local research institution. Of course, what seems to be often isn’t, and it takes a series of explosive illusions that rock a small slice of the city before Gracie and her coworkers understand the fuller picture: a rogue relationship between the research group and a corrupt faction inside the Pentagon.

The Haunting of Sorrow’s Leap
by Chris Sorensen
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.1 #ad
Ellen Marx used to talk to the dead. Now they’re ghosting her. With her psychic gifts on the fritz, she’s been demoted to hawking discount crystals at third-rate paranormal conventions. But when she inadvertently solves a supernatural challenge at New Jersey’s Hooky Spooky Convention, she catches the eye of the event’s reclusive sponsor: a washed-up horror author with a haunted mansion in need of a serious cleansing.
Reluctantly, Ellen joins his ragtag crew of psychic misfits (a near-death survivor, a paranormal tech bro, and a woman who may or may not be possessed) to investigate the mystery lurking inside his crumbling Hudson Valley estate.

SEALs Sub Strike
by S. M. Gunn
Kindle $0.50 Rating: 4.1 #ad
Just as the ground war in Desert Storm begins, the U.S. military must destroy the most deadly weapon in Saddam Hussein’s arsenal. An air strike is too risky. An infantry charge is too slow. Next move — bring in the Navy SEALs! The place itself is meaningless — a small island in the Persian Gulf. But on the island is a rocket full of anthrax. If it explodes, it is close enough to Kuwait to kill thousands of Kuwaitis and servicemen. If it is launched on a rocket, it is capable of reaching the U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia.
The Original

Woman Down
by Colleen Hoover
Kindle $5.99 Rating: Brand New Release #ad
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage.

Then he shows up…
AWAKENINGS
by Chuck Cascio, Chuck Cascio
Kindle $2.99 Rating: 4.8 #ad
The ten stories in this collection have many scenes, actions, settings, conflicts, moments. Different characters create awakenings–sometimes without knowing it–for one another, for themselves, and for others.
We all have those moments. It could be a word, a phrase, a look, an event, or just a thought that passes and then returns and then grows and then…we awaken! Many times, we do not realize the moments that made that impact until time has passed. And sometimes we do not see the moments in ourselves at all, yet we do see them in others. Perhaps we do not have to see inside ourselves in order to be awakened.
