Reaction to the book is exactly what I'd been hoping for — shock and AWE. There have been MANY threats of violence and decapitation made against me, which I thoroughly deserve for what I've put you through.
All in all, people have been very good about not spoiling it for others, but dear god, there have been some exceptions. A few things on the Facebook page, a lot of stuff on Twitter, some stuff on Tumblr, and one of the very first Amazon reviews has a major spoiler. I don't understand the need to spoil things for others or to seek out spoilers for yourself, and I really can't understand why anyone would casually mention a plot twist without realising it could ruin things for others.
Basically, beware of the internet, Minions.
But on a lighter note, Orla came to a signing on Saturday and she gave me a photograph of the cake she'd had for her birthday.
Check it OUT.

*puts on he elbow and quiver*
*pulls her hair up*
Right..
((Oh god Zaf you might um.. Not want to....
Um))
*is actually in fighting clothes*
What did you do...?
Ah! Um... Hello, Chase. How are you?
#ChaseForBook9
*follows Adra*
Em: Wait, are you telling me that Chase... he's alive?!
He doesn't even know about Lorcan, I never had the chance to tell him I was pregnant.
Oh god...
*looks at the dark tattoos that cover her arms-swirling patterns in intricate designs that- instead of looking grotesque and unnatural, suit her quite well* Well... I wonder what everyone will think...
*puts on an amethyst necklace*
*goes back to Em*
*follows Em*
Calm, Emerald. You'll be fine. *smiles* He still loves you
Trip, you'll have to wait and see. Nothing too bad. Although someone did out some chickens on your porch
*Chase looks up and down at Trips fighting gear*
Jesus you look ready to go.
I was asked to come up cause some of the alarms went off down below.
I thought I called an end to the violence Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay, so I was trying to get to sleep (yes, I've been doing that for over an hour. The joys of my life), and then it hit me that I didn't know where my bus pass was. And I think it's in the bin, because I think I didn't take it out of my old bag and my old bad got chucked out a few weeks ago. So I got up and started searching my room, using my phone as a torch. And then I found my actual torch in the search and started using that. And I looked EVERYWHERE abd I couldn't find it. And my dad came and told me to go to bed because it was far too late for this, so I lay on my bed and cried and analysed how different it was to empathic crying. Maybe I'll post thoughts and theories on that tomorrow.
And I came and told you all not because you needed to hear it, but because I needed to tell it, and I feel a bit calmer now so *hugs* thanks. :)
So now I'm going to go point out to myself hoe it's no big deal and hopefully go to sleep.
Once again, thank you.
Fours.
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, *picks a short staff with a notch at the end* I do intend to kill Deacon! Once and for fucking all.
How do you know him anyway? What's your relation?
#ChaseForBook9
Wait- WHEN?!?
*hugs Star* OFC.
*looks at her arms* *wonders when she'll get used to tattoos*
*shrugs*
*Chase rolls his eyes*
Deacon a-fucking-gain... when will that THING ever go away.
When you were putting glass on my roof.
I'll probably start saying my theories and things I muse on on here too, because I need somewhere to, you know, say them.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, hey now. He's still a loving being, as much as your wife.
#ChaseForBook9
*living being
#ChaseForBook9
I agree Chase I tottally agree
*Chase stops and frowns*
What?? Trip what are ye on about?
Well, I have plan. It's me or Deacon, to the death.
#ChaseForBook9
Well you would, you hate werewolves.
#ChaseForBook9
*stops* How do you know my name?
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns, doesn't like where the conversation is going*
TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!
(not here.. doing homework
I just thought that it was necessary to tell everyone that... xP )
Same here Jubi! Yay?
Hi/Bye.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Jubi! *hugs* That's fun :3))
(I didnt get homework this time thank GOD
Hello?
#ChaseForBok9
*walks out*
Wait- what are you on about, Trip?
Pardon Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*Chase looks at Trip again*
So... it's Deacon that trying to get into the Citadel?
Yes. But how do you know my name?
#ChaseForBook9
*watches*
What are you planning? *frowns*
*Chase smiles*
I'm a Guardian of Light, there's a lot that I know and very little I don't know.
-In the door of the house-
*Em rubs the blanket on her face before leaving it on the table and running after Adra*
Em: Hey Adra, wait up, you're not going without me!
Who's planning?
#ChaseForBook9
One more thing. Show me some of your holy powers.
#ChaseForBook9
*glares at him* What are you planning, Trip.
Em- do what you want... *looks between her and Chase*
Nothing! I called an end to the conflict! I'm tired of its and want it to end. I'm not planning anything.
#ChaseForBook9
*Em stops as soon as she sees Chase. Deciding whether to laugh or cry*
*Chase smiles at her*
Chase: Oh my god, Em?
*Em walks up and punches Chase in the face, sending him onto the ground*
Em: You Bastard!!! I thought you were dead!!!
*narrows her eyes but doesn't say anything*
*feels like she should laugh*
*laughs at Chase* Damn bro, you're in for it
*sidles up to Adra, talking in a low voice* Careful, I have suspicions he may be Deacon in disguise. Be careful, but not too careful.
#ChaseForBook9
*Chase wipes the blood from his lips*
Chase: I had to go, I had to protect you! Did you honestly think I wanted to go and leave you wide open*
*Em punches him again, harder*
Em: Well guess what genius, you did that anyway! And now that sadistic wolf has our son, he has Lorcan!!
*Chase stops and stands still*
Chase: Our... son?
*whispers back* That's actually him- trust me.
*nods*
Be back in a sec.
*walks back into her lab, going for the basement, digging though a large box*
*hums lightly*
*watches in shock*
((CHEMERALD GOSH SO CUTE))
*throws a laser gun behind her* No...
*picks up a feather*
No,
What is this
It's weird that this seems like a normal relationship to me, right?
#ChaseForBook9
*chuckles*
*digs further into the box*
*Chase frowns*
Chase: Em... why didn't you tell me? How old is he?
*Em takes a breath*
Em: You were gone before I had a chance, he's only 2 months old. And a Guardian like you...
*Chase hugs Em and she lets him, melting into his touch*
Chase: *whispers* we will get him back. I promise.
As do I.
#ChaseForBook9
*is like sobbing inside at the fluff omfg*
*picks up a small rock, which is pulsing with blue light*
*grins* There you are, babe!
*pockets the rock, am going further into thing*
Did I, just, ruin, a moment... I did didn't I. I'm just gonna go this way now... *walls off*
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs under her breath*
Wowza..
*goes to the next layer down in the lab*
*quiet*
*falls into the box*
*curses* Damn!
*rolls from the box and sprints up the stairs* I'M READYYYY
*kisses Em on the head before turning to the rest of them*
Chase: Is everyone ready to go? Are we missing someone??
Im ready
*returns* I'm ready.
#ChaseForBook9
Can i join?
I think we're good!
VAMANOS
Come along, I always wondered what Deacon's greatest fear was.
#ChaseForBook9
Deacon? Oh I will help. *goes to stand with Zafira* I guess we'll find out, eh Trip?
If I don't kill him first.
#ChaseForBook9
He needs death so....
Where's the thing again? The entrance? *doesn't remember at all*
Chaaase
Oh hay hang on.
*dashes back to Lorcan's room, taking a few if his things so he won't be too terrified*
((I think Em's Internet lapsed))
(Yeah)
#ChaseForBook9
(it seems so maybe she fell asleep too, its late there)
((No she wouldn't have- its her Internet lol)
(alright then)
((So how's the weather))
(Yeah, I'm still here. Why couldn't she manage it? She normally does.)
#ChaseForBook9
(It may just be....bleh or a storm i dunno weather near Dublin so...(
((Manage what, the Internet? Dunno. There have been a ton of solar flares lately, out Internet is a bit dodgy as well))
(Mine isnt actually wifi wise i can go on my iPod fine my computer is tad slow
(But... I'm still here. I hope Em isn't too upset about it?))
(Should we just continue everyday stuff until she comments then we snap back?)
hello...? i shouldnt really be here and i am distant...
(yeah we could just continue with whatever we were doing...I'll switch to Alexis and if she comments come back as this account)

Um... Tense moment and Em's Internet went.

Wait.

*pushes Lord and savior aside* Yeah, but I'm here too!
Lord and savior: *leaves, appearing mildly disappointed*
((Credit for this entrance goes to Trip! He came up with that, not me!))
#ChaseForBook9
ARI!!!!!! *tacklehugs*
*rolls eyes* DOWN ALEXIS!
Bye Snow!
*flips around in the air*
Yes, I know, I was almost three hours late. In my defense, my family decided to randomly go out to dinner, which we never do on school nights. And we are not exactly fast eaters. And I had to finish my homework. I make ETAs (Estimated Time of Arrival) without factoring in unforseeable stuff.
#ChaseForBook9
Wait you were planning to be on...earlier? I just assumed homework and stuff so I just was like whatever she does have work to do...*grins running around in circles*
Hi, everyone! *sneakyelderassassintacklehugs everyone*
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* This child is like on crack. I dont know what she had! Olivia is crawling around my feet they're attached today
I was planning on being here at 5. I would have made it exactly on time if it weren't for dinner, so... :)
#ChaseForBook9
Guess what Ari? I finally hit the bulls eye with a knife...I managed it once only but I got it at least! *looks proud of self*
*flies around through the treetops, smiling widely*
*smiles* That's impressive, Alexis. You can only get better, as long as you practice. Well, and don't get seriously injured. But that's sort of a given.
#ChaseForBook9
What's made you so happy, Adra? Oh, wait, it's because you're flying, isn't it? Yeah, I'm strange... XD
#ChaseForBook9
I am practicing and I am excited I know I can do it again it'll just take time...*holds Coco bear still* Olivia keeps trying to steal Coco by calling out: COCO COCO and dang is it annoying...she has a princess bear i so am tempted to name Ari but she smacked me when i said we should
*swoops in a big descending arc towards the trees, landing on a branch*
*laughs*
Olivia: *is by Alexis smacking her leg* COCO COCO!
Greetings to anyone who happens to be here at the moment.
#ChaseForBook9
H-hi Niccolo *keeps Coco bear close* Don't you help Olivia try to steal my bear!
Oh. *shrugs* Well, kids can be possessive of their things. Actually, humans can be possessive of their things. They just tend to be even more so when they're younger.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *crawls to Niccolo* Coco?
Yo.
*reaches over, grabbing a a branch, twisting them together expertly and beautifully into two large wings that wrap around her shoukders, light as -excuse the pun- feathers*
*launches towards the moon*
Why would I want to do that?
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Olivia.
#ChaseForBook9
Never mind...*has a big grin on face almost giddy with excitement* I did something awesome today!
Olivia: *widens eyes reaching up to him to be held* Coco! Coco!
*shoots high into the sky until the wind is harsh and the air is sharp and cold*
*breathes out*
*looks at her gorgeous flowing tattoos, then the ground below her*
*floats there*
Oh. *takes a step back from Olivia* Apologies, Olivia, but I can assure you there are others better suited to your presence than I. You are simply too precious to be trusted to someone like me.
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes*
*discards her wings*
*realizes she really ought to have set them down softer*
*the wings land thirty feet from the people below, from hundreds if feet up*
*snickers*
Olivia: *crawls to him again poking him*
*picks her up* Sorry Niccolò! She has been really hyper tonight....Olivia bedtime ok? Say goodnight
Olivia: *looks at Coco* COCO!
*takes her to bed*
*notices wings hit the ground* Hm. *looks up* *yells to Adra* Um, Adra, I would really appreciate not being hit by things from the sky. Thanks!

[Rant over]
#ChaseForBook9
She is far from bothersome, Zafira. You need not apologize.
#ChaseForBook9
Hello.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh... *makes face* I'm sorry about that, Fabi...
#ChaseForBook9
*comes back down* Alright if she ever is dont hesitate to tell me she cant say 'Niccolò' yet but she can say 'Coco' which is kinda funny. *takes out a sketchbook from coat* Right here Alexis said I ought to show this to you (she sletched Niccolo from the Ball)
(Um. I had trouble reading that xD)
*giggles again, flying up until she began to feel her energy suck closer to her midline, her arms growing cold as the blood went to keep her heart warm*
*does a flip*
*lets herself fall*
*goes slightly pink and hides behind tree afraid of what Niccolo might say*
Lovely drawing, Alexis. I had not known you were interested in art.
#ChaseForBook9
[Shrugs]
You don't have reason to be.
(It's okay, Adra, I was just complaining about my Mom)
Hi Ari, Adra, Zaf, Alexis, Croatoan, anyone who's hiding.
#ChaseForBook9
Helloooooo? *peeks behind trees and pushes, and under rocks* Anybody hiding around here?
#ChaseForBook9
*comes out smiling a bit* I do like art actually...it fascinates me...I draw other things too but I wanted to draw you because you looked so....awesome, at the Ball...I drew another one of you and Aretha together too...and the lake in the moonlight...
Hm... I'll be a bit distant, finding another dress.
#ChaseForBook9
*hits a tree*
*hits the ground, skidding into the clearing*
Ow..
My pride
...I should probably find another outfit, shouldn't I?
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* I swear...*sits by lake feeling Javier beside me*
Well, Niccolo noticed people had changed back into 'fighting clothes', so he's just wearing what he normally does, but I happen to love dresses almost as much as I love cargo pants, so I'm just going to keep wearing them for a while.
#ChaseForBook9
Ooh! Idea! Who wants to play Blogland Truth or Dare?
#ChaseForBook9
Eh I guess thats a smart idea
OMG I DOOO!!!!!!!
Count myself Javier and Jayla in!
I wanna play!
I'll play. :-)
And Effie is strong in my head right now, so she can play, too, I guess.
Distant, though.
#ChaseForBook9
Can I go first?
Dress club here
Why not?
Ok! Count Niccolo in, too. *still just a tad distant, picking out dresses for the future*
#ChaseForBook9
YAAAAAAAY :D
...
#ChaseForBook9
So wait can I go first guys?
Um.
Who's going?
I'm fine with Alexis going first.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm going!
NICCOLO truth or dare?
Alrighty then!
*sits on ground and laughs*
Javier: oh dear
Truth is likely the safer option.
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi, you ok?
#ChaseForBook9
Damn you! Okay fine. Is it true that you and Alastair were both left handed?
Fine, yeah.
Just mentally grumbling about my lack of fashion sense! XD
#ChaseForBook9
*facepalms*
It is, actually, although I doubt you'd notice unless you either saw me write, or someone told you. I have taken great care to ensure that both sides are equal in any sort of combat situation.
#ChaseForBook9
I thought back in your time left handed was like a sin...your turn Niccolo
Adra, truth or dare?
#ChaseForBook9
((I have a party soon, and basically nothing to wear! XD))
#ChaseForBook9
Dare!
*looks at Niccolò slightly fascinated*
Javier: *has Zaf in arms*
Oh, it was. Well, perhaps it was not technically considered a sin, but it was a sure sign of possession. My mother was a bit of an outlier, however, and did not necessarily believe in the common superstitions, so I was allowed to learn to write and perform other such tasks with my left hand.
#ChaseForBook9
I dare you to impersonate Trip for twenty minutes.
#ChaseForBook9
That's cool....I'm right handed but mom is left-handed...
*eyes widen*
*glares at him*
..
..
..
I'm neutral
Neutral?
#ChaseForBook9
Suck it up Adra you gotta do it!
*glares at Alexis* I am. My branch of the Scottish Sanctuary in this war is neutral.
Fabi, truth or dare?
Oh! I get it now.
#ChaseForBook9
Makes sense now...
Truth.
#ChaseForBook9
oh...firstty?
MINE
I have to go really soon...
#ChaseForBook9
What's your last name?
Yes I dedicate this page to art. I find it most beautiful and intriguing and just....fascinating. Some has influenced me, pictures or paintings...sculptures...it's amazing and I love it.
That's a good question, Adra...
xP
((Adra: HEAR HEAR! *dies because of her sketchbook*))
Seriously! Just because I've kissed Adra a few times doesn't mean that I am her, Jubi
*laughs*
Oh right...
TRIP! SORRY!!!
Jubi, truth or dare?
#ChaseForBook9
DARE!!
*watches and goes by Niccolo not saying anything*
I dare you to talk without using the letter E for five (of your) comments.
#ChaseForBook9
Interesting
I have to go now, sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
That'll be very hard *smirks*
