8 stories by 4 authors, each a different shade of darkness.
You shouldn't fear the darkness... just what lurks within.
Book 1 - Deadly Blood's Fury
By C.M. Owens
The deadliest things in this world are usually the most beautiful… seconds before they attack.
Book 2 - Tuesday's Child
By Dale Mayer
What she doesn't want...is exactly what he needs. As danger and desire collide, passion raises the stakes in a game Sam and Brandt don't dare lose.
Book 3 - Eternal Vows
By Chrissy Peebles
Never marry a stranger...even if he is a drop-dead gorgeous immortal king.
Never pretend to be a princess.
And most importantly... never slip on an ancient wedding ring you know nothing about.
Book 4 - Seventh Mark
By W.J. May
All secrets have a cost and Rouge’s determination to find the truth can only lead to trouble…or something even more sinister.
Book 5 - Sian's Solution
By Dale Mayer
Sometimes the depth of love is only understood when it is lost forever...
Book 6 - Crush
By Chrissy Peebles
His precious touch could prove deadly…
Book 7 - Radium Halos
By W.J. May
An incredulous group of heroes. A traitor in the midst. Some dreams are written in blood.
Book 8 - Daughter of Aphrodite
By C.M. Owens
They were forgotten, written off as myths, and dismissed as the past ramblings of imaginative minds, but the Greek immortals still exist, and they live among us, hiding in plain sight.
As a courtesy, these authors wish to inform you that all of these books are the start of their own individual series.

Yet another collection of cliffhangers.
Yet another collection of cliffhanger books and while this does actually say 'first in series' you need to check the series first because some of these are long and therefore expensive.
With a couple of exceptions this is just the same old books by the same authors just repackaged....yet again.
I know I've said this before but I used to love these collections, I really did and I still can't stop myself downloading them every time I see one free but whereas in the past I'd just start reading I now check first.
Why only 1 star, this collection is free how can anyone possibly complain about a free collection?
I know I used to feel the same way but now I just get so fed up every time I see the same books repackaged and as you can see by the length of my review there's a lot of books involved and it works out expensive.

Blood's Fury by C.M. Owens
Tuesday's Child by Dale Mayer
Tuesday’s Child is the first book in the Psychic Visions series and it was just a great way to start off a new series. I just absolutely fell in love with this new world and new characters. I just couldn’t get enough of this world and it’s characters. I was sad to turn the last page. I can’t wait to see what happens next with this series.

A shade of darkness
This had several books included . I for like when they leave off and one needs to get next book (but one way to sell books). love Dale Mayer. The last book(daughter of Aphrodite by C.M.Owens ) was a great page turner. Had the gods - or rather their children in it. Great read!

This is a review for the compilation of stories and not for each individual story.
This is a good taste for this genre and I came away from this reading more C.M. Owens. So I was pretty pleased with the selection even if I liked some stories more than others.

Crush (The Crush Saga, #1) by Chrissy Peebles- 2 stars
When Taylor sparks moves with her family to California her meeting with the locals doesn't go as expected. Her new crush Jesse is hiding something from her.
Really? One stupid mistake after another for the characters. The characters don't have much of an attention span, they jump from one thing to another. Taylor just acts dumb and has no common sense whatsoever. The characters were flat, there was no substance to them at all. I thought the writing was sloppy and the story did not have as much action as I thought it would.

This is an aggregate score for the collection as a whole. Some books are better than others. I will go and rate each of the individual books so that they each get a more accurate rating.
