Excerpt + Giveaway: Aries 181 by Tiana Warner

Hey bookwyrms, I’m super happy to be taking part in the Book Blitz for one of my favourite authors Tiana Warner. If you’ve yet to hear of her… where have you been? Or maybe you just don’t recognise her without the mermaids?

Tiana is the author of the Mermaids of Eriana Kwai series that I love so much as I’ve jumped in two feet deep and doing what I can to help promote her newest book – Aries 181.

I was also lucky enough to receive an early copy for review which I got to read and enjoy whilst I was off with a broken wrist! My review will be posted later this week but for now, lets get you interested some more with an excerpt and giveaway.

Lastly, if you are a member of Books and Tea we are also working with Tiana for another giveaway and doing a read-along of this book next month too.

Synopsis: Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more…?

Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn’t been too great, but at least he’s not being bullied anymore, and he’s sort of got a boyfriend, even if he’s kind of mean and only wants to meet up in secret.

Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He’s heard a little about Charlie – the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months – but he’s never had the opportunity to talk to him. That is, until the start of January, in which Nick and Charlie are placed in the same form group and made to sit together.

They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn’t think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner…

From the author of Solitaire and Radio Silence comes a bind up of the first two chapters of Heartstopper, an ongoing webcomic.

For the love of Merms | Q+A with Tiana Warner, Mermaids of Eriana Kwai author.

Author Interview | Tiana Warner
Its really should come as no surprise that I reached out to Tiana in hopes of a Q+A about her Mermaids of Eriana Kwai series with the book club and she was kind enough to say yes!

If you’re unfamiliar with Tiana’s work here is what you need to know; Mermaids of Eriana Kwai is a trilogy she self published from 2014 – 2017 and its made up of Ice Massacre, Ice Crypt, and Ice Kingdom.

The series follows eighteen year old Meela who’s been trained to fight in The Massacre to venture out to sea and slaughter the monsterous mermaids who threaten her island’s survival. She’s already lost her brother to these creatures, but she also has a secret friendship from her childhood – Lysi.

Lysi is a mermaid and after a chance encounter the two became childhood friends, unfortunately Lysi has also been trained as a warrior to protect her Kingdom from the humans who’ve been harming their seas.

At core the series is action packed, a dash of magic, and over coming taught hatred and violence. Oh, did I mention its also features a f/f romance? I got your attention now haven’t I?
