Bargain Ebook: Cured: A Stung Novel by Bethany Wiggins for $1.99

Cured: A Stung Novel by Bethany Wiggins is on sale for $1.99, its lowest price ever and first time on sale since its release earlier this year. This is the sequel to Stung which has been marketed as a Beauty and the Beast themed novel, with some Sleeping Beauty elements, too, I still haven't read it myself although it is on my long list.

The first book, Stung, is not bargain priced right now but it is not on sale right now but at it's usual price for $6.99. It has been on sale a few times previously so you may already own it. It also appears the fairy tale themes are not as strong in the sequel. Definitely recommended for fans of post-apocalyptic novels, though.

Book description for Stung:

Fiona doesn't remember going to sleep. But when she opens her eyes, she discovers her entire world has been altered-her house is abandoned and broken, and the entire neighborhood is barren and dead. Even stranger is the tattoo on her right wrist-a black oval with five marks on either side-that she doesn't remember getting but somehow knows she must cover at any cost. And she's right. When the honeybee population collapsed, a worldwide pandemic occurred and the government tried to bio-engineer a cure. Only the solution was deadlier than the original problem-the vaccination turned people into ferocious, deadly beasts who were branded as a warning to un-vaccinated survivors. Key people needed to rebuild society are protected from disease and beasts inside a fortress-like wall. But Fiona has awakened branded, alone-and on the wrong side of the wall . . .

Book description for Cured: A Stung Novel:

Now that Fiona Tarsis and her twin brother, Jonah, are no longer beasts, they set out to find their mother, with the help of Bowen and a former neighbor, Jacqui. Heading for a safe settlement rumored to be in Wyoming, they plan to spread the cure along the way--until they are attacked by raiders. Luckily, they find a new ally in Kevin, who saves them and leads them to safety in his underground shelter. But the more they get to know Kevin, the more they suspect he has ties to the raiders. He also seems to know too many details about Jacqui and her family-details that could endanger them all. For the raiders will do anything they can to destroy the cure that would bring an end to their way of life. Bethany Wiggins's reimagining of our world after an environmental catastrophe won't fail to stun readers.
