Cover Reveal + Giveaway: Off Balance by Aileen Erin


 

Off Balance (Aunare Chronicles #2)
Author: Aileen Erin
Genre: YA Fairy Tales/Fantasy/Retelling
Publication Date: February 11, 2020

Publisher: Ink Monster LLC


Description:

Broken, beaten-down, and plagued by nightmares, Amihanna di Aetes is surrounded by the Aunare race that makes up the other half of her heritage, but she feels alien amongst them. She’s not sure which is worse: SpaceTech’s overt hatred of Aunare or the Aunare’s covert hatred of halfers. She hears their whispers whenever she enters a room and sees her death reflected in their eyes. Amihanna doesn’t know who to trust anymore, but she hasn’t survived this long by ignoring the warning signs all around her, especially when her instincts are screaming that a familiar choice is coming: flee or fight.

Her parents assure her everything is okay—that there won’t be any reason for her to fight, let alone flee—but with Amihanna’s sudden return, questions arise among the Aunare: who should be blamed for the start of a full-scale war with SpaceTech, how much danger will the war bring, and is Amihanna truly fit to be the next high queen?

Honestly, Amihanna wants to forget all the politics, her betrothal to Lorne, and the possibility of being queen. Her needs are much more basic. All she wants is a solid night’s sleep where she doesn’t wake up screaming with the phantom pain of her skin burning. All she needs is to live without fear of a mob tearing her away from her family. All she hopes for is a chance to dream of a future instead of constantly fighting for her right to live.

And yet, somehow, everything she does leads her back to Lorne. He always seems to know when she’s about to break under the pressures of her new life. His quiet patience is wearing Amihanna’s protective walls down, and she’s terrified of what will happen if they fall.

Lunar Court Blog Tour: Excerpt + Giveaway


 

Lunar Court (Alpha Girl #8)
Author: Aileen Erin
Genre: YA Paranormal

Publication Date: June 11, 2019
Publisher: Ink Monster LLC



Description:

From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin


Chris is the guy Cosette always wanted.

Fun. Funny. Lighthearted and sweet. Chris always manages to find beauty and laughter, even when fighting a chapel full of demons. He’s exactly what she needs. Except he’s a werewolf and she’s a member of the Lunar Court — the only fey court that holds sway over the werewolves. Even on his best day, Chris isn’t strong enough to last a few hours in the Lunar Court without becoming a slave. No matter how much Cosette’s heart wants him, she knows she has to let him go.

But when Chris goes missing, Cosette realizes how much she has to lose if the worst happens. Except her mother — the Queen of the Lunar Court — won’t let her go after Chris. Being forced to stay at court is dangerous for Cosette. Assassins keep coming after her, and unless she accepts a mate, it’s only a matter of time before one of them kills her.

Cosette is the girl Chris has always dreamed of.

Chris sees through the tough facade to the girl exhausted from a lifetime of fighting off assassins and court politics. She needs a true friend, someone who she can be herself around, and craves solitude. The same solitude that Chris craves. But he knows he’ll never be enough to survive in her world. So, when Eli — a mysterious archon — requests his help, he figures why not? The guy might be a little shady, but he needs every distraction he can get.

But when Eli says that Cosette’s in trouble, Chris is more than ready to play by Eli’s rules. At least until Eli takes him to the Court of Gales. Chris knows he’s about to play a very dangerous game. Bargaining with the fey is something only a desperate person would do. But what wouldn’t Chris give up to save Cosette’s life?

“These books go by so very quickly, with the pacing making me think I just started reading. I could gobble up a dozen of these novels!” – Carrie Reads a Lot

I held out my hand. “Christopher Matthews.”

The man looked at my hand without taking it and grinned. “Ziriel.”

I lowered my hand, not offended at all. “And what do you do here at court?”

“I rule it.”

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came. I wasn’t sure why he was even talking to me, and yet I couldn’t waste this conversation. I came for help, and he—whoever he was—might be the one that could give it to me.

“You think I’d put one of my fey next to you and risk their life? A werewolf I don’t know, don’t trust?” The grin on the man’s face disappeared, his eyes went hot and dark, and as I kept my gaze locked on his, it was as if I was back in the chapel in Santa Fe. Back where the open pit to Hell spewed demons into our realm. His gaze held the same heat and depth of that open pit.

I held my breath as I realized three things: I didn’t know anything about the Court of Gales, the fey here seemed to be aligned with something dark and sinister, and if I wasn’t extremely fucking careful, agreeing to come here would be the last mistake I’d ever make.

“I would say it’s a pleasure to meet you, Christopher Matthews, but you’re the reason we’re in hiding and I haven’t decided if I’ll forgive you for it yet.”

I pushed away the fear that was rising up before it could take hold of my thoughts. It wouldn’t do me any good right now. I wasn’t in Santa Fe, and as far as I knew, this underhill wasn’t anywhere near Hell. And even if I was out of my depths, Eli had sent me here for help. He wouldn’t have done that if it would put me in imminent danger.

“You don’t want to be in hiding?” It was my understanding that the majority of the fey actually asked for this. So, I was surprised to hear otherwise.

“No. No, we don’t want to be.” He leaned to the side a bit, placing his elbow on the table as he looked at me.

Okay. Maybe I understood what he wanted. “And you want me to do something about it.” It wasn’t a question because I was pretty damned sure of the answer.

His smile came back, bigger than before, and he twisted to the side. “See! Marsta!” Ziriel yelled across the room. “I told you he wasn’t going to be as blond as he looked.”

Cover Reveal: Being Alpha by Aileen Erin


 

Being Alpha (Alpha Girl #7)
Author: Aileen Erin

Genre: YA Paranormal
Publication Date: February 13, 2018
Publisher: Ink Monster LLC

Description:

For the first time since Tessa met Dastien, life is quiet. The evil witch, Luciana, is six glorious feet under, St. Ailbe’s is closed due to human trespassers, and people are finally getting used to the fact that supernaturals exist in the world. It seems like the perfect time for a honeymoon.

Tessa and Dastien’s trip to the Caribbean is turning out to be the honeymoon that fantasies are made of—sunset cruises, long walks on the beach, and every romantic cliché you can imagine. She couldn’t be happier. So, when a local man turns up inexplicably dead on the beach, Tessa brushes it off. Not every bad thing that happens in the world is a supernatural mystery to be solved. And when Sebastian—one of the Council of Seven Alphas who rule all the werewolves—appears on the island, she thinks it must be a coincidence. Everyone needs a break now and then. Even council members. Right? Besides, Tessa is beyond determined to not let anything get in the way of her romantic vacation.

But when Dastien goes missing, the honeymoon is most definitely over. Tessa can’t ignore the signs anymore. Something huge is going on. And whoever messed with Tessa’s mate is in for a rude awakening. Because if there’s one thing fighting rogue witches and werewolves has taught her, it’s how to be Alpha.

 Shattered Pack (Alpha Girl, #6)
Author: Aileen Erin
Genre: YA Paranormal
Publication Date: November 29, 2016
Publisher: Ink Monster LLC
 
Description:

Meredith Molloney never thought she’d find a mate, let alone someone like Donovan Murry—one of the most powerful Alphas alive. Now that she’s no longer cursed and the evil Luciana Alvarez has been taken care of, she thinks life will finally settle down. Boy, has she never been so wrong

In the middle of the night, Donovan gets a call telling him that his pack has gone to pieces. The news that his second in command has been found brutally murdered has Donovan packing his bags for Ireland, but the last thing Meredith wants to do is leave Texas. She’s heard about how the Celtic Pack are with outsiders. And Donovan has more than a few exes in the pack that will be less than friendly.

Meredith’s never let a few angry wolves stop her, and she’s not about to start now. She’s faced down much worse the past few months. But when she gets there, she finds that it’s not just a few exes who stand in the way between her and her Full Moon Ceremony with Donovan

Meredith is thrust in to a deadly game of pack politics, one the fey have happily joined in on. When the dust settles, she knows she’ll either have everything that she wants or lose it all.
