The Devil's Pawn (Faust Book 2) Kindle Edition by Oliver Pötzsch

I had never heard of this author but once I read the first book by recommendation, I now look for his books. He captured my attention with the Hangman's Daughter.

The Devil's Pawn (Faust Book 2) Kindle Edition by Oliver Pötzsch

This book is a pre-order and I usually don't bother with pre-orders because I have to wait to read them, but I'm awaiting with anticipation for this book to hit the market.

Bea's Thanksgiving by A. White

Bea's Thanksgiving

I finally got around to reading this one on my kindle I have a tendency to load down lots of books. More than I can read.. It's a very good speculative fiction novel. It's the story about a preteen and her mother who travels a lot trying to escape those trying to kill them. The girl's name is Bea. She isn't trying to save the world. She's only trying to save her half-materialized friend's sister from being killed.

This is the first half of the book. It ended with Bea getting the help they needed. I don't know if Bea will be able to save Teagan's sister yet.
I think the author may have divided the book into two parts to keep it from being a big book.

-------------------------------------------- Book's excerpt-------------------------------------

Thanksgiving Day is the next big Holiday on the scene, then comes Black Friday. The day shoppers, world-wide go crazy. We won't be caught in the harrowing experience because my mom and I are broke.
We live in poverty.
Poor folks on the run don't celebrate holidays.

I know, I know, no one wants to hear about a little broke black girl. According to the world, we don't exist.

Our cute little yearning faces look too much like "Les Misérables" or "Oliver Twist." Our faces force others to look within their stingy hearts and eat their hypocrisy.

To me, it's all just another day of trying to stay alive.
To me, Bea Wyett, a little girl whom no one loves but her mother and of course my family loves me, but the outside world doesn't. They preach phony double-talk about loving the kids, but I know they are lying. They don't give a diddly-squat about those like me.

To me, the world is nothing but a big stinking festering tomb. A graveyard filled of broken dreams and promises.

--------------------------------------------BEA's THANKSGIVING---------------------------------------

In the Mather's household, Bea's in for a different kind of Thanksgiving than their normal routine.

The Beggar King (US Edition) (A Hangman's Daughter Tale)

The year is 1662. Alpine village hangman Jakob Kuisl receives a letter from his sister calling him to the imperial city of Regensburg, where a gruesome sight awaits him: her throat has been slit. Arrested and framed for the murder, Kuisl faces first-hand the torture he’s administered himself for years.
Jakob’s daughter, Magdalena, and a young medicus named Simon hasten to his aid. With the help of an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy, they discover that behind the false accusation is a plan that will endanger the entire German Empire.
Chock-full of historical detail, The Beggar King brings to vibrant life another tale of an unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails daughter, confirming Pötzsch’s mettle as a writer to watch.

I have read every book in this series and it is very good.
