message 1: by Megan (new)

Megan Hi everyone!

I thought should have a section where we can get recommendations, I was thinking we can come here and say what type of book we want to read. Sorry if there is already this type of post somewhere.
To start off, I would like to request recommendations for books on sirens or succubus beings? If anyone has watched it there was a tv show on Netflix called the tidelanders and it was about sirens... I want to read something like that show.

Have you found any good books about sirens or succubus?


message 4: by Megan (new)

Megan I've not watched Siren. Also, I've not found any books similar to the tidelanders. I was hoping that someone would suggest something good about sirens on here

Patricia | 971 comments I just purchased a book on sale about selkies if that interests you. The Selkie Spell (Seal Island Trilogy #1) by Sophie Moss There are three books in the series. It's $.99 right now. I was iffy about it because it sounds like more romance than I usually read but thought the price was good.

I know I've seen books about sirens.

I'll try to get to freebie links tomorrow. I've got a bunch in my email I haven't gotten to. Maybe I'll try later tonight. I just skimmed subject lines and one is horror and another angles and demons.

Patricia | 971 comments Does everyone know about kindle first reads? You get a free one if you're a prime member or you can get a first read book for $1.99.

This month is a promotion and you can get two. So if you do the $1.99 prime trial for a week you can actually get two books for $1.99. If thats confusing I'm sorry. 😕

They are books that won't be released until next month but with first reads you get them a month early and cheaper.

Megan I never thought about selkies, I'll check that book out! I have prime but I cancelled my kindle unlimited. thanks for reminding me about my new book I keep forgetting.

Patricia | 971 comments Megan I posted links for bookfunnel giveaways. There is a book about sirens in the angels and demons. You should check all of the giveaways out. All you need is the bookfunnel app to download them and there are a lot of young adult books, fantasy, thriller and cozy mysteries.

I really like the The Soul Summoner series by Elicia Hyder. It has a little bit of everything supernatural in it. Have you read the The Storm Siren Trilogy Storm Siren, Siren's Fury, Siren's Song by Mary Weber . I have not read them yet. But they look good.!

Patricia | 971 comments Megan and Aly I'm posting a link for a series of books that are horror/haunting. There is one for $.99 today (how I found them) but one us about a succubus haunting.

I picked up the $.99 book it sounds good.

Also this book The Fireman by Joe Hill is on sale for $1.99 today. It's usually $11.99. I thought it sounded good and the price is great.

If I ever get caught up books about hauntings would make a great theme challenge. It seems to be popular with most everyone.

I think that book sounds really good and $.99 is a great price.

Patricia | 971 comments Macmillan has One Thousand White Women The Journals of May Dodd (One Thousand White Women, #1) by Jim Fergus currently on sale for $2.99. I've bought this book several times in hardcover and paperback because I loan it and never get it back. I've now purchased the kindle version of the book as well as the sequel.

This is a GREAT book of alternative history. The idea is in order to make peace with the plains indians one chief tells the army give us 100 white women to take as wives and we will intermarry. Women volunteer and the book takes off from there.

I've read a lot of fiction/nonfiction about the annihilation of the plains tribes. Most notible and disturbing is Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. One Thousand White Women really made me think about "what if."

If you like historical fiction this book is a must read. I'm someone who normally HATES books that are "alternative" historical fiction but this was done in a way that made me think. It's one of my all time favorite books. It's well worth the $2.99.
