Guest Post: Trivia Quiz on The Aerling Series by DelSheree Gladden

To celebrate the release of Invincible, the FINAL book in The Aerling Series, I though it would be fun to see just how much you know about the characters of The Aerling Series. 



So, I've created a trivia game to test your knowledge. Take the quiz, then post your results in the comments to be entered to win either a stylish Aerling Symbol necklace (US Only) or a Reader's Choice series ebook pack on any of my books (US and INT).



You don't have to get a good score to enter the giveaway. Just have fun and give it a go! 



But first, here's a little bit about the last installment on The Aerling Series, and where you can grab a copy of all three books if you haven't already.





INVINCIBLE



Mason is not imaginary.



He's not a ghost, either.



And he's definitely not a hallucination.



Mason is the one Aerling capable of saving an entire world.



He thought he was going home, but surviving Sentinel attacks and making it back to the Aerling world is only the beginning of Mason’s fight to protect the ones he loves. Every Aerling believes he can save them, but in order to win a battle that has been raging for millennium, Mason must face down the one man he truly fears, the only man capable of withstanding his power. This is one fight Mason may not be able to win.




And now...the quiz!





If you're not caught up on The Aerling Series yet, have no fear! You can grab the first book FREE on most ebook platforms, before delving into the world of the Aerlings in "Intangible" and "Invincible!"

by Melissa Meyer

Mirror, mirror, on the wall.
Who is the Fairest of them all?

Happy Book Birthday: Love, Lucy by April Lindner

Today marks the launch of LOVE, LUCY by April Lindner. This sounds like a fun book! Take a look.

Love, Lucy
by April Lindner

While backpacking through Florence, Italy, during the summer before she heads off to college, Lucy Sommersworth finds herself falling in love with the culture, the architecture, the food...and Jesse Palladino, a handsome street musician. After a whirlwind romance, Lucy returns home, determined to move on from her "vacation flirtation." But just because summer is over doesn't mean Lucy and Jesse are over, too.

In this coming-of-age romance, April Lindner perfectly captures the highs and lows of a summer love that might just be meant to last beyond the season.

Book Blitz: Isla's Oath by Cassandra Page



Happy Monday! Welcome to the Book Blitz for ISLA'S OATH by Cassandra Page, the second book in the Isla's Inheritance Series. Check it out!

Isla’s Oath by Cassandra Page 
(Isla’s Inheritance #2) 
Publication date: January 20th 2015
Genres: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult


Australia is a long way from the Old World and its fae denizens … but not far enough.

Isla is determined to understand her heritage and control her new abilities, but concealing them from those close to her proves difficult. Convincing the local fae she isn’t a threat despite her mixed blood is harder still. When the dazzling Everest arrives with a retinue of servants, Isla gets her first glimpse of why her mother’s people are hated … and feared.

But Isla isn’t the only one with something to hide. Someone she trusts is concealing a dangerous secret. She must seek the truth and stop Everest from killing to get what he wants: Isla’s oath.




EXCERPT

Jack led me to one side of the walkway, against the window of a bank. After looking around to make sure we weren’t being watched, he reached into his messenger bag and pulled something out to show me.

Cupped in his hand was a creature the size of a large mouse. It—no, he—was dressed in ragged, miniature clothes; his hair was a tangled mass of gold and his eyes were little blue flecks of summer sky. On his back, a pair of diaphanous wings like a dragonfly’s beat slowly, only visible because of the tracery of veins. Around his neck, strung on a piece of cotton, was a glossy pink bead.

The creature resembled Tinkerbell, if she were down on her luck and had grown sharp around the edges. A fairy made from mosquitos rather than butterflies.

“Isla, this is Welkin. He is a piskie.”

“Uh. Hi!” I said brightly, trying to pretend I’d heard of a piskie before now.

“Hello,” Welkin piped. Jack held his hand up so that the tiny fairy was at eye level with me. Welkin bobbed his head in gratitude.

“Please tell Isla what you told me,” the hob said.

He looked me up and down, a gesture that only took in my face. He pursed his lips, eyes narrowed. “Okay,” he said after a moment, putting his hands on his hips. The gesture was adorable but also reminded me of my year seven science teacher. “Do you know about energy flows?”

“Pretend I don’t.”

He craned his neck to frown at Jack before looking back at me. “Right. Every living thing in the world sheds energy. It’s a lot like air. Sometimes it pools, still, and sometimes it flows and you get a breeze or a storm.”

“Like water?”

Welkin scowled. “Like air. This is my metaphor, lady.”

I bit my lip so I didn’t laugh, nodding to indicate he should continue.

“Well, some aosidhe are like mountains. The air bends around them and continues on, but becomes more turbulent. And if there are a bunch of them together you can get wind tunnels and it gets really tricky to fly…” He trailed off, staring distractedly through Jack’s fingers at a passing couple, absorbed in their conversation.

“And other aosidhe?” I reminded him gently.

“Oh, yes. Other aosidhe are more like cyclones, throwing everything around and making a mess.” He sniffed in disapproval.

I wondered which type I was, but decided not to ask. “So you can sense the presence of aosidhe based on this energy movement.”

“Yes. There was one here—” he narrowed his eyes at me “—and now there are two.”

“When did the other one arrive?”

“Today.”
