Please follow this instance’s posted rules of conduct.

This community is inspired by but not connected r/ebookdeals on Reddit.

Its purpose is for readers to share deals that they find on the web for ebooks through well-known retailers. Additionally, if you are an author and have an interest in posting a notice when you have a price drop coming up, please feel free to let us know, and we can include yours as well. Please avoid self-promotional posts without first contacting somebody on the community management team.

Spam, referral, shortened, and affiliate links are not allowed as this is not a community designed to allow members or mods to make money on their deal findings. Links must be as close to vanilla hyperlinks as possible for the retailer. Links must be cleaned or trimmed of tracking information or when posting or they will be removed.

Please limit posts to time-limited discounts of non-public domain items. Books that are at a permanently low price are great, but not appropriate for this community. The same goes for republishings or cleanups of public domain books.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness. And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.
