She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan is £0.99 on Amazon.co.uk and other UK retailers.
This a new release, first in a series. A retelling of the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Quote:

In a famine-stricken village on a dusty plain, a seer shows two children their fates. For a family’s eighth-born son, there’s greatness. For the second daughter, nothing.

In 1345, China lies restless under harsh Mongol rule. And when a bandit raid wipes out their home, the two children must somehow survive. Zhu Chongba despairs and gives in. But the girl resolves to overcome her destiny. So she takes her dead brother’s identity and begins her journey. Can Zhu escape what’s written in the stars, as rebellion sweeps the land? Or can she claim her brother’s greatness – and rise as high as she can dream?

Infernal By Mark de Jager $.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
fantasy

Quote:

When Stratus awakens beneath circling vultures, he has no memories — only a dreadful certainty that he isn’t entirely human. Though great in strength and magic, he is unaware that his fate is tied to the world’s. A “dark, suspenseful debut fantasy… Impressive” (Publishers Weekly).

The Arrest By Jonathan Lethem $2.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N
Scifi

Quote:

“An impeccably executed” sci-fi tale (Emily St. John Mandel) from a New York Times bestselling author! After technology stops working across the globe, Sandy settles into a quiet life in Maine — until his old partner shows up… “Rarely has a novel approached the sheer pleasure of The Arrest” (The Observer).

The Chimera Code by Wayne Santos is $0.99/£0.99 on Amazon.com, Rebellion Publishing's website, and possibly elsewhere.
This is cyberpunk + sorcery. I enjoyed the author's unrelated funny novella The Difficult Loves of Maria Makiling.

Quote:

If you need something done, Cloke’s one of the best; a mercenary with some unusual talents and an attitude to match. But when she’s hired by a virtual construct to destroy the other copies of himself, and the down payment is a new magical skill, she knows this job is going to be a league harder than anything she’s ever done.

The first (and only so far) books in the Savage Rebellion by Matt Wallace are $1.99 each on Amazon.com.
These are Savage Legion and Savage Bounty
The second one was released several months ago, and this the first time either is on sale.
They come highly recommended.

Here's the description of Savage Legion:

Quote:

They call them Savages. Brutal. Efficient. Expendable.

The empire relies on them. The Savages are the greatest weapon they ever developed. Culled from the streets of their cities, they take the ones no one will miss and throw them, by the thousands, at the empire’s enemies. If they live, they fight again. If they die, there are always more to take their place.

Evie is not a Savage. She’s a warrior with a mission: to find the man she once loved, the man who holds the key to exposing the secret of the Savage Legion and ending the mass conscription of the empire’s poor and wretched.

But to find him, she must become one of them, to be marked in her blood, to fight in their wars, and to find her purpose. Evie will die a Savage if she has to, but not before showing the world who she really is and what the Savage Legion can really do.

This remarkable and captivating fantasy will take you on a journey into the heart of brutal battles, dire situations, and odds that seem too high to overcome.

I highly recommend these! I do suggest you read The Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls first. The Hallowed Hunt too, though that one's kinda esoteric.

This probably fits better in the Horror forums.

On another note C. L. Polk's The Midnight Bargain was on sale on Amazon.com for what seems to be less than 24 hours. It's back to its usual price now.
