Spencer Hill Press is offering the YA paranormal fantasy/maybe-romance

Jennifer L. Armentrout, as a promotional prequel to her novel
Half-Blood.
Daimon is available as a DRM-free download in PDF and ePub (+ read online HTML option) directly from Spencer Hill Press'
special promo page and they say "Please feel free to share this link and these downloads as often as you like."
So lo and behold, I am sharing right now. Enjoy!

Description
For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards… and that she'll never be prepared for that duty.
According to her mother, that’s a good thing.
But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return—the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death… because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill.
The daimons have found her.
