E-book exclusives you need to get!

I've recently joined the 21st century and bought myself a Kindle (read this post to find out why I finally gave in). It seems I've joined the club just in time to take advantage of some fantastic digital exclusives!

Here are a few short stories and anthologies that are only available as e-books - you'll recognise the authors as some of the very best in YA fiction. They are absolute musts for fans, even those of you who don't have an e-book reader should consider getting them!

Hana by Lauren Oliver
UK readers / US readers

This short story takes place in the Delirium verse, and tells the tale of Lena's best-friend Hana. According to the publishers, "there's a shocking twist to her tale that will leave you with your heart in your mouth". Sounds good to me! I've already got it on my Kindle and cannot wait to get to it!

Hana is only available in eBook and, for a limited time only, is just 99p! You can also make a really neat Lauren Oliver themed Christmas decoration that uses text from Hana. Check it out here!


Darkest Powers Bonus Pack by Kelley Armstrong
UK readers / US readers

Kelley is a fan's dream author. Why? Because she just keeps on giving! She's released three online novellas set in her Darkest Powers verse, and is currently in the process of writing a fourth (read it here). Unfortunately, these stories have just become non-free - but all three are available for your Kindle for just 72p! They are fantastic and well worth it - I've bought them even though I had downloaded the free pdf versions! Read my reviews of two of the stories: Divided and Dangerous.


The First Time Anthology edited by Jessica Verday
UK readers / US Readers: B&N - Amazon

The First Time Anthology is solely available as an e-book, but features a tonne of YA authors you'll recognise from printed works, including: Cyn Balog, Teri Hall, Heidi R. Kling, Saundra Mitchell, Jackson Pearce, Carrie Ryan, Kristina Springer, and Jessica Verday. In 25 stories, the authors explore firsts: first loves, first kisses, first zombie slayings, etc.

I'll admit that I am not quite running out to get this anthology, mostly because I already have so many anthologies I need to get to! Still, it sounds fab.

  1. Congrats on your Kindle purchase. You'll love the ease of an ereader. I am not a big fan of short stories or anthologies, but these deals may have me giving them a try. Thanks for the tip!
