Free Kindle Books 5-21-13

PLEASE. Do everyone a favor and write an Amazon review if you end up reading a book (or trying to and giving up in disgust). It does not have to be much. Just tell what you think of the book.

From the top 100 free list

The Heidelberg Effect (The Tempus Fugitives Trilogy)
Her destiny was a moment in time over 400 years ago. And a secret that would destroy her world.
Ella Stevens never knew a mother's love. Her fierce independence was the keystone of her identity--unfettered by romantic involvements or family demands--until the day she moved to Germany, and her world began to unravel. There, she discovered the terrible secret her mother died to protect. There, she stumbled onto a hidden time portal that took her to 1620 Heidelberg where the brutal realities of life were not restricted to the poor and the infirm.

Fighting to survive in a world she's ill-equipped to understand, Ella is befriended by a convent of nuns who stand in the shadow of the executioner's block of the Warlord Krüger, one of the bloodiest butchers in all Europe. With the aid of a sexy US Marshal, Ella is determined to help her new friends. Along the way, she learns that when it comes to the things that really matter--love, trust and friendship--sometimes the truth is the least important thing of all.

[#4. I like both time travel and and books about this period of time in this part of the world so despite the cover that makes it look like typical chick lit I downloaded. I am not sure how a sexy US marshall comes to be in 1620 Germany, which gives it that "sweaty thighs" type of book feel (that's what a friend of mine calls them - she is 80 and loves that kind of book).

City of Beads (Tubby Dubonnet #2) (Tubby Dubonnet Mystery) (The Tubby Dubonnet Series)
[#9. Back for a 2nd day.]

Progeny
[#21. It was free back in December. I got it back then but never looked at it. 2nd day this time around.]

Fallen Angels
1st Enoch/Voronika novel:
Enoch should have let Caleb join Lucifer. Instead, he'd wrestled Caleb to the ground and held him there until the rebellion was over. He'd saved his friend from the pit, but he couldn't save him from himself. Caleb still denounced everything Enoch held dear, and he was cast to Earth in punishment. Without the Light, Caleb wastes away, until he discovers a new life force--human blood. Worse yet, each mortal he drains is infected with his immortality, creating a race of vampires. Enoch is responsible for Caleb's mess, so Enoch's sent to Earth to clean it up. He walks the night, hunting and destroying vampires, trying to protect mortals. And he'll be stuck among mortals until Caleb repents and returns Home....which doesn't seem likely.

But when Caleb's hordes come to town as Enoch is trying to hunt down a vicious serial killer, Enoch finds himself trapped in an eternal battle with his former friend as he tries to protect the people of Three Rivers from threats both human and not.

(The 2nd Enoch/Voronika novel is Blood Battles).

[#36. A different take on vampires.]

The Fringe Worlds (The Human Chronicles - Book One)
[#59. This was free in May of 2012 and I got it then. Never looked at it. The summary has that "young adult" feel to it, so it may be of more interest to pre-teens and younger teens. 3rd day on the list.]
