Today's #1 rated free item is:
Telesa - The Covenant Keeper by Lani Wendt Young. Samoan mythology/romance/fantasy. The sample didn't grab me as anything special but the Samoa interested ones may look into it more closely.
http://www.amazon.com/Telesa-The-Cov...7633065&sr=1-1

Leila returns to the land of her birth in search of family and instead discovers she is heir to a fiery elemental birthright...all while navigating through the drama of a new high school with the help of her new best friend "Simone daahling" - a boy with flawless makeup and the catwalk style of Kate Moss. She is introduced to the national sport of rugby and meets an irritating boy that would be much easier to hate if he didn't have chipped emerald eyes that were always laughing at her and a glorious golden smile. (The glistening, bronzed abs and Pacific warrior tattoos didn't help either.) There's hate, love, jealousy, volcanoes and lots of delicious Samoan food in Leila's coming-of-age journey as she realizes that ancient Pacific myths of elemental spirit women Telesa, contain more truth than fiction. Secrets are revealed and things get blown up as Leila must choose between sisterhood and the boy she loves. Can their love stand against the Covenant Keeper?

Jaden Baker by Courtney Kirchoff. Mystery. Says it's published by Talons. Never heard of them. Book description tells us nothing. Hate that. Sample seemed ok.
http://www.amazon.com/Jaden-Baker-eb...7635552&sr=1-1

Jaden Baker is unique, talented, special.

And for a while there, things were looking up. Adopted by an upper-middle class couple of suburbia, Jaden believed he'd finally gotten that second chance everyone raves about. It came with potato salad.
But something happened. Something always happens. The life he'd been living took a dark twist, taking him on a journey that exposed him to evil, and the power it wields.
For those receiving it, patience is a deadly virtue.

Gabriel: Zero Point by Steve Umstead. Sci-fi. This is a prequel novella to his other titles.
http://www.amazon.com/Gabriel-Zero-P...tt_at_ep_dpt_7

GABRIEL: ZERO POINT
Prequel Novella to the Evan Gabriel Trilogy

~Note: This is a novella of approximately 90 printed pages and can be read either before the trilogy or after.

Evan Gabriel wasn't always a feared and respected North American Federation Navy Commander. Before dangerous missions to the ice-bound planet of Poliahu, the deadly jungle world of Eden, and politically corrupt Mars, he was a simple recruit, fighting to make his mark in the elite Naval Special Forces...and was part of a top-secret military experiment that would change his life forever.
Zero Point tells the tale before the science fiction/adventure trilogy, a tale of a young man faced with difficult choices and dangerous trials. Fans of the series will see part of the mysterious past Evan Gabriel carries with him, while readers new to the series get a preview of what is to come in a military man's haunted life.
Zero Point is the true beginning of Evan Gabriel, and his story is just getting started.

The Judas Gene by Albert Klainer MD. Medical thriller. Originally published in 1980 by Richard Marek. And Ace in 1981.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Judas-Gene...7637313&sr=1-1

It was born in Dachau to kill today. . . .

The Nazi doctor leaned over the body lying in front of him and made the incision. The war was about to end, the final solution a failure. It was his duty to plant the seeds of the next holocaust.

The Judas Gene: At first it killed the elderly, the survivors of the death camps. Then the young started to die. Soon reports of terror and fear began coming in from around the world.

THE JUDAS GENE is a compelling and frightening medical thriller that begins in the Nazis’ experimental laboratories in Dachau during World War II. At the end of the war, the infected Jews carry into the outside world not only the instrument of their own destruction but also that of their fellow Jews. They are biological time bombs set to go off many years later. The story follows the frantic search for the perpetrator and for a way to identify and stop the virus, “cure” those infected, and protect the Jewish race from another Holocaust.

The Crack and the Snow by Derek Stewart. Mystery/thriller. It was published in 2007 by Bright Sparks (publisher or vanity?) and they claim it's their best seller. Few reviews. Book says it has mirth
http://www.amazon.com/Crack-Snow-Gaw...7638677&sr=1-1

Faithlie is a Scottish fishing town where deaths, ruined lives, and general drug-related mayhem is spreading like wildfire. Grampian Police know that one man is behind it all, yet they are impotent to act, for he shields his identity so well: by hook or by murder! As Liam ‘Basil’ Brush, recovering addict and petty thief, didn’t live to tell: after innocently snatching £250,000 from the drug baron, he is tracked, brutally murdered and incinerated.

Gawayne Brigand (the ‘hero’ of the piece, who was engaged in computer larceny in France), hears the news and decides to avenge his lifelong friend. But the wannabe ‘White Knight’ has troubles of his own. In Paris, he met Jacqueline, his own ‘Damsel in Distress’: an evil man, whom she blames for her papa’s death, is hounding her. He orders his goons to silence them both for good.

If the duo survive, they must clear up Basil’s case, assisted only by Jock (who raised Gawayne since his mum vanished during his second birthday party and his dad was murdered in front of him).

But as Gawayne gets into the case, he discovers that his mother’s disappearance, his dad’s murder, Liam’s murder, the area’s drug problems (and soon some serious trouble befalling Jacqueline and Jock) are inextricably linked in a maze of murder, mayhem, mystery... and mirth

Here is a trio of YA fantasy/mystery posted on May 18th by indie author Aiki Flinthart. No reviews but sample seemed decent. Peek first.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr...s=digital-text

I'll list this one but reviews look questionable (as in all 5-stars) but published by Eire. Romantic suspense. Interestingly, the author is giving away 2 free copies on GR simultaneously with this promo.
Countermeasure (Countermeasure Series) by Cecilia Aubrey and Chris Almeida

http://www.amazon.com/Countermeasure...7640173&sr=1-1

In the first book of the COUNTERMEASURE SERIES, Trevor Bauer is haunted by the mystery surrounding his parents' disappearance. His dreams for his own life have been put on hold. While searching for clues about them, he crosses paths with Cassandra James, a tough ex-CIA agent who derails every one of his best laid plans to avoid a relationship until he can find the closure he desperately seeks.
Suspicious and determined never to fall into the love trap, security specialist Cassandra James takes on a chase to recover files stolen right out from under her nose. In an effort to prove to her father--also her boss--that she is a capable woman, she follows the digital trail--a trail that leads her directly into the arms of Trevor Bauer, an NSA analyst who appears to have more secrets than she has scars...
When he accepts her request for help in recovering the files she's hunting, they embark on an adventure that takes them across the ocean and into a world of intrigue and violence. As things between them begin to heat up, Trevor realizes that, if he is ever to win Cassandra's heart and the future he craves, he has no choice but to reveal all his secrets.

Countermeasure (Countermeasure Series) by Cecilia Aubrey and Chris Almeida

http://www.amazon.com/Countermeasure...7640173&sr=1-1

Publisher is actually listed as "Éire" (not "Eire"). Like most self-published "publisher" names used, this one has one author - the one that made up the publisher info.

Amazon should require a copy of both the business license and tax info on the publisher for anyone that uses KDP. That would stop all the made up and faked publisher info.


ETA - both books are free:
