Amazon has a book called The Mermaid's Sister available for free for its Prime members through the Kindle First benefit. It is a nice little fairy tale fantasy that is a quick enjoyable read. It's technically a YA book but doesn't read like a kid's book.
I also recently finished Gaiman's Neverwhere. I really enjoyed it though it is kind of a typical "fish out of water on a fantasy quest" story. I actually liked it better than American Gods and probably on par with The Anansi Boys.
I was wondering if anyone has seen the BBC mini-series that the book was based on? Amazon has it pretty cheap with generally positive reviews, though the main criticism is that the effects are pretty cheap.
Currently, I'm reading Brian Keene's Dark Hollow. I planned on following it up with the sequel, Ghostwalk but the bad guy in Dark Hollow has me rolling my eyes, so will have to see if it gets better.
