Friday Freebie: Tiger Eye, On Sparrow Hill, Griselda Takes Flight


It’s Friday Freebie time. This week Barnes and Noble is offering ‘Tiger Eye’ by Marjorie M. Liu. This paranormal romance is the first in her ‘Dirk and Steel’ series! You can see reader reviews at Goodreads, where the book gets. 3.84 stars. Here is the synopsis from Goodreads.
Long ago they roamed the earth — dragons, tigers . . . shapeshifters — men who wore the forms of beasts. Their world was magic. Now it is gone. But some remain . . .
He looks out of place in Dela Reese’s Beijing hotel room— exotic and poignant, some mythic, tragic hero of an epic tale. With his feline yellow eyes, he’s like nothing from her world. Yet Dela has danced through the echo of his soul and knows this warrior will obey her every command.
Hari has been used and abused for millennia. But he sees, upon his release from the riddle box, that this new mistress is different. There is a hidden power in Dela’s eyes—and with her, he may regain all that was lost to him. Where once he savaged, now he must protect; where before he knew only hatred, now he must embrace love. Dela is the key.
For Dela, he will risk all.

Another freebie being offered this week is ‘On Sparrow Hill’ by Maureen Lang. This historical fiction story is the part of the author’s ‘The Oak Leaves’ series! You can see reader reviews at Goodreads, where the book gets. 3.79 stars. Here is the synopsis from Goodreads.
Two time periods--Victorian Ireland and contemporary England--are again woven together in this sequel to The Oak Leaves. Rebecca Seabrooke is a commercial manager for Quentin Hollinworth's family manor and is focused on two things: running the best historical home in the country and forgetting about the childhood crush she's had on Quentin ever since her father worked as the valet for his family. They don't, after all, run in the same social circles. When Quentin's distant cousin Dana Martin Walker comes to visit the Hollinworth estate, Rebecca realizes she must confront some of her preconceived ideas about herself . . . and about Quentin. Dana wants to learn more about her ancestors--especially about Berrie Hamilton, who in 1852 decided to fulfill her sister-in-law's dream of opening a school for the mentally challenged. Dana also discovers that, despite their precautions, she and her husband are expecting, and their unborn child may turn out to be like many of Berrie's students. It will take reading Berrie's letters--written a century ago--for Dana and Rebecca to learn the importance of serving others and to realize that ultimately, even our best-laid plans are not always God's plans.
You can pick it up in any of these formats.

The last freebie this week is ‘Griselda Takes Flight’ by Joyce Magnin. This contemporary Christian mystery is part of the author’s ‘Bright’s Pond’ series! You can see reader reviews at Goodreads, where the book gets. 3.35 stars. Here is the synopsis from Goodreads.
Now that her morbidly obese sister, Agnes Sparrow, is comfortably dieting at the Greenbrier Nursing Home, Griselda learns to fly-literally-after a pilot makes an emergency landing and creates quite a ruckus in the otherwise sleepy town of Bright's Pond.
But Griselda's newfound freedom-and her flight time with handsome pilot, Cliff-is hampered by other happenings in town. Like the gold digger who prances around town and is supposedly engaged to Stella Kincaid's brother-the lottery winner who is in a coma. And there's Ivy Slocum's dog, Al Capone, whose adventures continue long after they should.
When Chief of Police Mildred Blessing starts investigating the gold digger, however, things really heat up-for Griselda and all the residents of the unique Pennsylvania hamlet called Bright's Pond!
