Thriller E-Book Deals: Coes ($2.99), Terry (FREE), Thor ($3.99)

Still haven't found any good fantasy book deals worth mentioning, but I did find a few thriller deals...

-The Valley of Shadows by Mark Terry (FREE..I believe this is 4th in the Derek Stillwater series. Apparently I picked up the 3rd one for free back in December. Might as well grab this one, too.)
-Power Down by Ben Coes ($2.99..I actually read a bit of this at Barnes & Noble this weekend. Think I will pick this up.)
-The Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor ($3.99..first in the Scott Horvath series. I read and enjoyed the first 5. Need to get caught up.)

Now in E-Book Format: The Sacred Hunt Duology by Michelle West

While browsing for new e-book deals this morning, I ran across the Kindle edition of a series I hadn't seen in e-book format before. If this has been out while (and I somehow missed it), forgive me. I like to mention when older books finally make the digital format, hence this post.

Michelle West's The Sacred Hunt duology is now in Kindle format. You can find Hunter's Oath here, and Hunter's Death here. I own the 2 books in mmpb, as well as her 6 books in the Sun Sword series. I have not purchased any of the House War books yet. I'm glad to see the first 2 books in digital format. Hopefully this means the Sun Sword series is coming soon, too.
