Free Book - Of Blood and Honey

koland · 03-17-2011, 12:27 PM

Nightshade Books is celebrating St. Patrick's Day by giving everyone a free copy of Of Blood and Honey ($7.99 Kindle), by Stina Leicht (they couldn't figure out how to send us all a pint via email).

Book Description
Fallen angels and the fey clash against the backdrop of Irish/English conflicts of the 1970s in this stunning debut novel by Stina Leicht.

Liam never knew who his father was. The town of Derry had always assumed that he was the bastard of a protestant--His mother never spoke of him, and Liam assumed he was dead. But when the war between the fallen, and the fey began to heat up, Liam and his family are pulled into a conflict that they didn't know existed. A centuries old conflict between supernatural forces seems to mirror the political divisions in 1970s era Ireland, and Liam is thrown headlong into both conflicts. Only the direct intervention of Liam's real father, and a secret catholic order dedicated to fighting "The Fallen" can save Liam... from the mundane and supernatural forces around him, and from the darkness that lurks within him.

To get the free book, send an email to BloodAndHoneyGiveAway@nightshadebooks.com. You will get a DRM-free EPUB back in your email.

Sounds fantastic! I wonder how long until they send it. It has been a whole 5 minutes and still no book. (Says the spoiled ebook lover who is used to instant gratification.)

I'm waiting too. I replied to their email about the free book about an hour ago (the email said to reply or create a new email; I double checked and the return address and the one in the email were the same. I would have thought that they would have set up an autoresponder for this (but it may be so backlogged their bandwidth can't keep up with the demand).

I seem to recall the promo for The Windup Girl didn't have an auto-responder and the reply took about a day or so.

Still no rush, I like some of Night Shades stuff, they've got a couple of free samplers of their anthology books in the Baen free library (OK, technically the webscription free library as its not Baen, but you get the idea) and a couple of other on the nightshade site.

Good things come to those who wait, and this book sounds good!

That sounds about right time wise and yes they were sent out 'by hand' so to speak.

koland · 03-17-2011, 06:45 PM

Sent them an email. They "hope" to get them all sent out in the next couple of hours....

Lemurion · 03-17-2011, 07:17 PM

I've sent mine and will wait patiently, I like Nightshade.

cromag · 03-17-2011, 09:55 PM

Thanks for the notice! I'm waiting patiently.

DixieGal · 03-18-2011, 10:25 AM

Nothing yet. Has anyone gotten it?

Lemurion · 03-18-2011, 10:33 AM

I haven't seen a response yet, but I've still got things to read so I'm not in a rush.

AnemicOak · 03-18-2011, 12:18 PM

Just have patience with them. They're doing it 'by hand' and I'd bet are getting more responses than they thought.

I got my copy of Kameron Hurley's God's War (for the i09 book club) last night and that took about two days for them to send.

KarateMonkey · 03-18-2011, 03:36 PM

It took a day or two for me to Get God's War as well, but it did arrive.

DixieGal · 03-18-2011, 11:27 PM

It came just a few mins ago. Starting it now.
