Sony Freebies: Urge to Kill and According to Jane

Just saw these freebies on the Sony store:

Urge to Kill by John Lutz
http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/joh...Bargain_FREE_1

Quote:

Homicide detective Frank Quinn can't stay retired when a new breed of murdering madman is on the prowl. In a city terrorized by bloody brutality, Quinn and his team hunt a psychopath who lures beautiful women into a night of unbridled passion, then wakes them to a vicious, drawn-out death. Stumbling over a trail of horribly defiled bodies, Quinn can't seem to catch up to the killer--because the killer is about to catch up to him...

According to Jane by Marilyn Brant
http://ebookstore.sony.com/ebook/mar...Bargain_FREE_1

Quote:

In Marilyn Brant's smart, wildly inventive debut, one woman in search of herself receives advice from the ultimate expert in matters of the heart...
It begins one day in sophomore English class, just as Ellie Barnett's teacher is assigning Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. From nowhere comes a quiet "tsk" of displeasure. The target: Sam Blaine, the cute bad boy who's teasing Ellie mercilessly, just as he has since kindergarten. Entirely unbidden, as Jane might say, the author's ghost has taken up residence in Ellie's mind, and seems determined to stay there.

Jane's wise and witty advice guides Ellie through the hell of adolescence and beyond, serving as the voice she trusts, usually far more than her own. Years and boyfriends come and go--sometimes a little too quickly, sometimes not nearly fast enough. But Jane's counsel is constant, and on the subject of Sam, quite insistent. Stay away, Jane demands. He is your Mr. Wickham.

Still, everyone has something to learn about love--perhaps even Jane herself. And lately, the voice in Ellie's head is being drowned out by another, urging her to look beyond everything she thought she knew and seek out her very own, very unexpected, happy ending...

Enjoy!

Free on the Kindle too, although 'According to Jane' is listed as a preorder.

Picked up one for my Kindle, and may get them both for my Sony.

It's great having two different Readers!

Thanks for the heads up! Downloaded both

I just read the first couple of chapters of According to Jane and it's pretty good!!

lilac_jive · 09-23-2009, 01:41 PM

Good to know! I downloaded it since it got decent reviews on GoodReads but haven't started it yet.

DixieGal · 09-23-2009, 01:56 PM

I think I'll try to get According to Jane, if I can get the blasted EBL ver 3.0 to work long enough to download it.

PennyPie · 09-23-2009, 02:43 PM

Thanks! My TBR is turning into a TBR

I just read Urge to Kill, and it was very good. It's not entirely a pleasant book - but it's well-written with lots of suspense.

bookfanmd · 09-28-2009, 11:10 AM

I finished According to Jane over the weekend. Overall I really liked it. There were a lot of flashbacks which I generally don't care for but the author kept it clear which time period you were in. I'm a big Jane Austen fan and I felt the author was pretty true to her style whenever Jane "spoke". This was a great book to get as a freebie.

I just went to the site and they now want $5 plus for 'Urge' and $10 plus for 'Jane'
