eBook Freebies That I Would Have Happily Paid For... they're THAT good

This should be your face right now.

Discovering Amazon's Top 100 Free Bestselling List is one of the best things that has ever happened to me... or at least one of the best things to ever happen to my entertainment life. About once a week I find myself perusing through this list just buying freebies up. And my eyes are usually bigger than my... eyes? My reading eyes?? Well, I usually get way more books than I have time to read. But here's the thing, they're free so it doesn't matter. I've discovered a number of new fav's by doing this: favorite authors and series, and hell I discovered the YA Dystopian genre this way (I was a little late on the Hunger Games bandwagon...).
So, here is my list of favorite freebies... and go get them, now! Because they might not stay free... there were several other books that I desperately wanted to share with you, but the author's have started charging since I first bought them... So I can't, at least not on this blog.
Just click the cover image. It'll bring you to Amazon.com where you can purchase these wonderful freebies.

The Book of Deacon, by Joseph Lallo. I give it 4 Stars. It did take me a little while to get into this book, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Book 2 is already out, and a little more action packed.
Myranda is a young woman more interested in staying alive than being a hero. Orphaned by a continent-spanning war that has gone on for decades too long and shunned for failing to support it, she has been on the move since she was only a child. One can hardly blame her when she thinks that the chance discovery of a fallen soldier's priceless cargo is the moment that will change her life. No one could predict just how great that change would be. It will lead her through an adventure of rebels and generals, of wizards and warriors, and of beasts both noble and monstrous. Each step of the way will take her closer to the truth of her potential, of the war, and of the fate of her world.

Call of the Herald, by Brian Rathbone. I give it 4.5 Stars. I immediately went and got the second book after reading this.
Echoes of the ancients' power are distant memories, tattered and faded by the passage of eons, but that is about to change. A new dawn has arrived. Latent abilities, harbored in mankind's deepest fibers, wait to be unleashed. Ancient evils awaken, and old fears ignite the fires of war. When a Catrin Volker, a teenage horse trainer, inadvertently fulfills the prophecy of the destroyer, she becomes the most feared and hunted person on all of Godsland. With the help of her friends, she must convince the world that she wants only peace.

Gravity, by Abigail Boyd. I give it 4 stars. Again, I immediately ran out and bought the next in this series... then the next one after that. I had a few issues with the parents, but clearly not enough to hate the series.
One night in the town of Hell, Ariel's best friend goes missing. Those around her believe Jenna ran away, but when Ariel is tormented by nightmares and paranormal activity, she realizes Jenna's disappearance was part of a bigger mystery. Ariel's obsession with haunted houses and horror movies makes her the perfect detective.

But to complicate matters, a handsome newcomer named Henry Rhodes plagues her with unwanted attention. Though he doesn't believe in the supernatural events, she enlists his help and that of quirky nerd Theo. What is making the lights at school flicker? And why did Ariel dream of the old abandoned Dexter orphanage? When Ariel finally discovers the truth, it's much worse than she ever feared. 

Darkness Falls, by Jessica Sorensen. 4.75 stars. I freaking loved this. Has vampire-type creatures but were incredibly different. Plus, it was dystopian... dystopian meets vampire. Yeah.
When the disease spread through the world, people had no choice but to go into hiding. The Colony is hidden deep underground, far away from the vampires—humans that were transformed by the disease. The vampires are hideous, starving, and they will kill any human they come across.
Seventeen-year-old Kayla is a Bellator, a warrior that protects The Colony. In order to survive, there are three rules she must follow:
Rule #1—Never go out after dark.
Rule #2—Always carry a weapon.
Rule #3—No matter what, never EVER get bit.
But what happens when the rules Kayla has always lived by can no longer apply? 
The Highers run The Colony and accept nothing less than perfection. One slip up can mean death. Kayla has always worked hard to follow the rules and strive for perfection. But during a moment of weakness, she lets her imperfections show. Her punishment is worse than death. She is chosen for The Gathering and is thrown out into a world full of starving vampires. 
No one has ever survived The Gathering, at least that’s what Kayla’s been told. But when she runs into a group who insist they were once part of The Gathering, Kayla discovers the Highers have been keeping secrets. Secrets that could lead to a cure.
