Dark Days of Supernatural Paranormal Romance is a sampler of stories by Aprilynne Pike, Ellen Schreiber, Kim Harrison, Veronica Roth, Amy Plum, Josephine Angelini, and Tara Hudson. It's a great price -- free -- and contains some intriguing sampler stories:* Illusions by Aprilynne Pike: Laurel, a young fairy teen, is caught up in a war between fairies & trolls. She is torn between her fairy protector, Tamani, and her human boyfriend. Interesting story, I'd like to read more to find out the back story of how Laurel came to be living as a human.
* Divergent by Veronica Roth: The first part of the first book in a trilogy about a future dystopian society, where people are divided into factions and one must chose their faction when they turn 16. Reminiscent of Hunger Games, the world building and characterization is very good.
* Die for Me, Amy Plum: Kate's parents are killed in a car accident, and she and her sister move to Paris to live with their grandparents. Kate is despondent and withdraws, until she meets Vincent, and strange things begin happening to her. This is part of the first book in the Revenants series.
*Something Deadly this way Comes, Kim Harrison: This is the third Fantasy novel in the Madison Avery series, about a girl who dies but is put to work on Earth, along with a team of angels.
* Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini: The first 7 or 8 chapters of this unique book were included, introducing an extraordinary teen called Helen, who has always been a bit different, but finally begins to realize the full extent of it when a new family moves into town and she finds herself inexplicably repelled by them.
* Hereafter by Tara Hudson: First few chapters in the haunting, atmospheric book about Amelia, a lost soul who is wandering the earth near the river where she drowned years earlier. No one sees or hears her pleas for attention. She rescues Josh from drowning after he drives his car into the river, and he is not only able to see her, but seeks her out.
* Vampire Kisses & Cryptic Cravings, Ellen Schreiber: The first part of Book 8 in the Vampire Kisses series, centering around Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander.
All in all, some very intriguing stories, particularly by new authors Veronica Roth, Amy Plum, Josephine Angelini, and Tara Hudson.

PitchDark Presents the Dark Days of Supernatural Paranormal Romance Sampler eBook Various Reviews
These intros are griping enough that i went and actually bought most of the whole books! Nice collection on teen angsts!
great for those days that you have no idea what you want to read next. these are a great idea.
good book ty for the reading and will order again
I love reading it gives me a break from reality
Read it from cover to cover. I promise you will enjoy it. It might scare some older kids & some adults too.
This wasn't a bad sampler, just none of the stories really stuck out to me. They were okay, but not amazing. I did enjoy this book though and I would recommend it to people because they might like it more than me. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
This is a huge, meaty sampler of seven YA books - sure to keep even the most avid reader entertained for days, and sure to get you hooked on at least a couple new books/series.
Please note, the name "Dark Days of Supernatural Paranormal Romance" does not accurately represent this collection. A couple of the stories are not supernatural (though one is fantasy and the other is futuristic), and one does not include any romance in the sample (though I do believe a romantic interest comes on later in the book). Several other stories start out with the protagonists already having boyfriends, so the romance is more of a backdrop rather than the driving engine. I'm not saying this is a bad thing - some of the selections are excellent - but the title is misleading.
ILLUSSIONS by Aprilynne Pike is a YA fantasy romance about an important fairy teen and her fairy protector hiding in the human world from a troll menace. Cute story so far; the sample leaves you with lots of questions. 3.5 stars
DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth is a dystopic fantasy where people belong to "factions" that determine their every action and association. The factions were created to preserve the piece, but it's obvious that something very rotten lies near the surface. The sample was fantastic; can't wait to read the whole thing. 5 stars.
DIE FOR ME by Amy Plum is about a girl living in her own inner fog in Paris after her parents die. Then she meets a boy who turns her world upside down. I can't pinpoint why (maybe a little too slow and heavy?), but I couldn't get into this sample, and didn't finish reading it.
SOMETHING DEADLY THIS WAY COMES by Kim Harrison is about a human girl who turns into a Dark Timekeeper -responsible for making sure mortal souls are harvested before they are allowed to become tainted, even at the expense of their lives. But the girl, Madison, believes there has to be a better way, and goes around testing how flexible fate and choice are. Unfortunately, Harrison's writing abilities are inconsistent and this is the third book in the series, and is filled with allusions to earlier events. However, the concept is intriguing and worth checking out. 3.5 stars
STARCROSS by Josephine Angelini has been compared, both favorably and unfavorably, to the Twilight and Percy Jackson series. I really enjoyed the preview and thought it flowed well. Stuck on the small island of Nantucket, teenager Helen has always felt like a freak - freakishly beautiful, freakishly strong, freakishly fast - facts that she takes literal pains to hide. But when a new (freakishly strong, freakishly hot) family moves to town, Helen realizes there is much more going on. 4.5 stars
HEREAFTER by Tara Hudson features a dead teen stuck on Earth as a sort of purgatory after she drowns in a river. Then one day she rescues another teen from the same fate - and everything changes. He hears her, sees her - and she starts feeling things - like wind or the sun's rays-- she hasn't felt in years. But feeling opens her up to a new world of hurt. 4 stars.
VAMPIRE KISSES AND CRYPTIC CRAVINS by Ellen Schreiber had so much whining from the main character about how desperately she wanted to become a vampire that I couldn't get passed the first few pages. It might get better, but I'm not betting on it. Completely shallow Goths might like this book, I suppose.
Check out these samples; you have nothing to lose. But fair warning, when you are done, you might find yourself running to your local library or bookstore. Happy reading!
