Ahem. *Gets on soap box*

What the fuck? I mean seriously what the fuck? How the shit can an agent reject a query letter with material within three hours of receiving it and then have the audacity to say “I’d give you feed back but it’d be overwhelming” in your form letter with links that have nothing at all to do with the material sent. The shit? Seriously? Are you fucking kidding me? As someone who is college educated you can’t analyze dick in three hours to come up with “overwhelming” anything—assuming you read it the instant I sent the fucking thing. Why don’t they just say the truth, “I glanced at it and don’t feel like reading it sorry.” I’d rather have that than some flat out blatant impossible lie. I’m fine with the rejection, I’m not fine with the glaringly obvious bullshit response. That is all. *Huffs and climbs off soap box*

TL:DR

What the fuck form letters.

I’ve heard agents can be incredibly rude unless you’re a “name.” 
I’ve also heard that increasingly, authors are managing to get published without an agent, and can also publicize their books, and go on blog tours, and reach out to readers all without that pesky agent, and the hand in the pocket. Just sayin’…

yay! My poor week is over! I got it from Amazon.
Agree with all - the cover is brilliant!

Okay, I’ve posted my review on Loose Id, Goodreads, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, and my blog.

FYI, the only reason I'm not participating is that I'm already working on a Christmas story (which doesn't qualify because it's not a one-shot) that I probably won't finish by Christmas. But all the best in your holiday-themed endeavors!

Yep, Yowli is smitten, he doesn't want to do the ceremony because he no longer wants to share Val. Gonna have to kill Izzy and Anurysm and make off with Val

And now I have Peter Cook's voice in my head... "Twu wuv..."

It's not just because she's human. I think Caolfionn says something about it, that their love gave Aneurin too much power, and the blood curse didn't like that so it nipped it in the bud if that makes any sense. True love is power, (as cheesy as that sounds) it was the same reason why Baba Yaga couldn't bother them, Baba Yaga is powerless to effect those who are truly in love according to legend

Don we now our gay apparel! It's Holiday time folks! Time for turkey, Egg nog and kisses under the mistletoe!

Yeah... the death was lacking, part of that was just because of who Valentina is as a character. Aneurin's death was totally out of her hands, she couldn't do anything about it. Yorwrath on the other hand was something drawn out over the course of a week and a half. She just kind of threw herself at Yorwrath and his illness partly because she could turn off her grief for a while a tackle the problem she had before her.

As wicked as I am, you know you're enjoying this wild and crazy ride

ewwww, nope, not saving, just start over...

Ewe... worst save point ever.

so do you gift wrap pusy oral sex or just use a gift hag...ah bag...

Magical yumminess huh? Well can't argue with that

*shakes head* I guess I'm the one keeping Aneurin Or rather the Shell of Kings

Ok, gonna throw my two cents into the ring...Not sure if this is what Chrissy had in mind but this is how I see it:
Aneurin is dead, what has taken his place is some kind of mishmash of all the elf kings, sort of a genetic memory that was unlocked by the spell Caoilfionn and Islwyn; so Anuerin is still in there but he is now a small part of the whole and from the sounds of it a very subservient part, he Called Val a Dy'nn and the true Aneurin never would have, that would be like Magus calling me or Kari a whore, never happen. Now this hot tub party might bring the old Aneurin to the for front but it will never be him, not really and she's willing to try but I think the influence of the kings of the past will never let him see her as more than a pet. No, sorry but what they had is as dead as her old lover.
As for Yorwrath, I think you are all underestimating him. His abrasive manner was his way of keeping people at bay. He loved a human woman deeply and his father took that away from him, made him watch her die a horrible death, as well watching his son die. I couldn't even imagine what that would be like and honestly hope I never have to find out, but I know someone who does know and I watched him go through something quite similar. Yorwrath is just trying to never get close enough to anyone, especially a human female, so he never has to feel that pain again. But his walls are cracking, he didn't want to have rough sex with Val, he wanted to make love with her like his brother did and that tells me that no matter how he rails against it he's falling in love with her. I see the old Yorwrath resurfacing, the one his brother said was kind and even happy and when Val sees what's under that cold exterior I think she'll re-evaluate him and the two of them may find comfort in each others arms, a comfort that will grow into a deep love...I'm a romantic
As for Islwyn and the unicorn, gonna have to go with Kari on this one, they die slowly and screaming.
So I see a future with Yorwrath and Val presiding over a house full of little half elf half human rug rats, maybe not a happily ever after, but a bitter sweet ending.

backing away slowly...no sudden movements...

Oh, believe me, I've thought Yorwrath was tolerable for a while now. But he's still not enough to heal Valentina's heart.
I won't argue with you on the rest, and not for fear of hormones. I'm menopausal -- I may you look like a romp in the park.

Remind me... never to get on your bad side

Sheepfuckers with mutton daggers.

I say she dump Anurysm, Yowley has piqued my interest
maybe take Gwyn along for when Yowley is a butthead, the big guy seems to like her

So very sad to see a stranger wear the face of the one you love.
