Twisted Christmas Contest: Win ARCs of Fallen and Hush, Hush!

Christmas is all about the warm and fuzzies: swaddled manger baby Messiahs, sparkly gifts, carolers, twinkly lights, and tree-shaped cookies galore. Did we mention angels?

Bear with us for a wee bit o' FNC math:
IF Cherubic Angels + Baby Jesus = Merry Christmas,
THEN Fallen Angels + Tragic Romance = Twisted Christmas

That wasn't so bad, was it?

The FNC's Twisted Christmas involves two little books called Hush, Hush and Fallen. Have you heard of them?

Seriously, two of the most delicious covers of the year.

So if you weren't lucky enough to win The Story Siren's Angels are HOT Contest, you get a second chance right here!

The Rules:
1. Become a follower if you aren't already. (Hi, followers -- We love you guys!)

2. Comment on this post about your favorite part of any and all winter holidays. Or leave us your favorite quote from a Christmas movie. Or your favorite gift to give or receive. We don't care, as long as it's festive!

Wasn't that easy? Oh, you want extra chances to win?

+1 - Spread the word! (Sidebar, blog post, Facebook, Twitter, morse code, carrier pigeon, smoke signals, etc.)
+1 - Comment on our Hush, Hush co-review (our very first co-review!)
+1 - Comment on our interview with Becca Fitzpatrick (from before she was a bestselling author)
 
(For a total of four entries.)

Contest ends 12/25 at 11:59pm EST.

The Fine Print:
Contest is open worldwide. Winner will be contacted by email at the close of contest. If you do not leave your email address in your comment, it is your responsibility to check back at the FNC blog to see if you've won. You have 72 hours to claim your prize, or an alternate winner will be chosen.


Want more to win? The FNC's also hosting a Dark Divine giveway ending 12/15. Frankie's giving away two copies of Donna's Magnetic Kama Sutra mini kit over at her blog. And we've listed a ton of contests from around the blogosphere over on our righthand sidebar. Yayyyyy free stuff!

  2. I've been entering every contest I can find for these books, I'm SO desperate!

    My favorite gift at Christmas time is probably seeing what other people think of my presents. I fret constantly over if they'll like it or if they'll buy it before I can give it to them. (Which has happened to me on a birthday once.)

  3. My favorite thing about Christmas is no school. No deadlines, no papers, no tests. This makes for a much happier (and much less stressed) me. I can spend all day reading a book by the light of the Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate. Time to spend with relatives and friends. Almost there...

  8. Hi :)
    Thank you for the opportunity to win.
    I've wanted an ARC of Hush, Hush ever since I discovered the ending is different in the ARC than in the finished novel.

    Favorite quote from a Christmas movie: "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings."

  27. OMG, I just realized I forgot to put in my favorite holiday whatever. It's a quote from my favorite Christmas movie: Scrooged.

    Bill Murray: "We don't want to scare the 'Dickens' out of people." *awkward pause then said with exasperation* "The 'Dickens' out of people." *sigh* "Nobody gets me."

    Hope that will count with my above comment. Thanks!!!!
