Recommendations from Kindle Unimited

Hampshire Nanny · 01-13-2016, 05:36 PM

I treated myself to a Kindle Unlimited subscription for 2016, and I want to get my money's worth. That means I need to read at least $9.99 worth of books from KU each month.

So, I'm looking for recommendations for books which you have enjoyed which happen to be available from KU.

I'm mostly a genre reader. I like SF, particularly space opera and anthropological themes. I like mysteries of all types, but not horror/suspense that slips over into the gratuitously cruel and gory. I mostly like paranormal, and really enjoy high fantasy.

I don't mind coarse language if it's appropriate in context, but not just shock value. Example, I would expect a drill instructor to berate his soldiers and use bad language. I don't care for long strings of profanity and scatological language.

I don't like overtly graphic sexual content. In other words, I like to know *that* two characters had sex, I just don't want the details of *how* they had sex.

So, please help me find some books that I am likely to enjoy in the vast library that is Kindle Unlimited.

First off, go grab a Taste of Tomorrow by Hugh Howey and friends. Or just look at the table of contents in the look inside.
I can pretty much guarantee you will find some good science fiction authors that are in Kindle Unlimited.
I also guarantee very few if any typos in that bunch.

You want mysteries.
Black by Russell Blake.
The Jack Daniels series by JA Konrath is good.
But I am not sure if they are Kindle Unlimited. I know some of their books are.

Also A G RIDDLE for Science Fiction.

You might like the Frontlines series by Marko Kloos.

For mystery/police procedural/crime most of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series is available if you haven't read those.

Ian Fleming's James Bond books can be fun.
