Character Interview: 5 Fun Questions with Charlie From Silver Tides



Oooh, are y'all in for a treat! Susan (and Charlie) took these interview questions and literally created something completely incredible! I soon realized Susan and Charlie had created an entire conversation! My smile while reading everything (including responses she created for the interviewer, yours truly) could NOT have gotten any bigger! Prepare for the awesomesauce. Without further adieu...

Today, I'm welcoming my FAVORITE character from Silver Tides to the blog...CHARLIE! Charlie. Charlie? Um...he seems to be running a tad late...

<the door flies open, and in walks Charlie. He lobs in, wearing a crisp, white collared shirt. Sweet smells of soap and cologne suddenly fill the room>

Review of Silver Tides by Susan Fodor & Giveaway







More, please!

*As spoiler-free as possible*

The story begins when a wonderfully witty, kind, fiercely loyal outsider suddenly finds herself in the unenviable position as the newly anointed ‘popular girl in school’ after saving the life of a mysterious, handsome stranger. What follows is one jaw-dropping revelation after another.

Characters: Loved them all. A few standouts for me include Mya, John/Daniel, and Charlie. Mya, the main character, just screams ‘huggable.’ She wears her heart on her sleeve, is 100% loyal to her loved ones, and wants to do what’s right and just. So huggable! John/Daniel is Mya’s leading man and is quite the charmer. Then, there’s Charlie. I’m just going to say it: I’m a total Charlie fangirl. LOVE this character so much! He’s got the perfect mix of smart-alecky fun and endearing charm.

World & Story: Susan has created a deep, dark, layered world where the creatures are at odds and the characters find themselves caught between love, history, and family obligations. I’m looking forward to spending more time in these supernatural societies as the series progresses.

Overall: Wonderful character connections, intriguing mythology…and an incredible ending that will leave you gasping.

Review of Waterfall by Amber Garr & Giveaway





Love, Love, Love

*As spoiler-free as possible*

Waterfall was just what I needed after reading Waterproof. By the end of Waterproof, I absolutely NEEDED more of Vee, Zach, and their world. Waterfall gave me just that by introducing me to the very moment the water shortage forced our beloved characters into the woods, on the run. Please note that though Waterfall is a short story prequel, it is equally as emotional, exciting, endearing, and heart-stopping as Waterproof.

Characters: This prequel focuses on Vee, Zach, and their parents as they escape their neighborhood and head to a safe place…or so they think. I loved getting to know their parents and hope very much to learn more about them.

World & Story: Waterfall is like the on-ramp to a seriously busy highway with crazy drivers and speeding tractor trailers. This is the beginning of a ride that will only get much more dangerous.

Overall: A tremendous introduction to a series that has me completely engaged. I really, really hope to read more short stories highlighting Vee and Zach’s days with their parents as they fight to maintain their freedom.

Review of Waterproof by Amber Garr & Giveaway






Completely Obsessed.

*As spoiler-free as possible*

My heart was racing from the very first page. Read the first line and POW—you are smack in the middle of a struggle for survival. Waterproof introduces you to a world without water. I honestly never imagined how utterly horrifying such a world could be, but this book will make you think long after you’ve finished reading.

Characters: The characters are WONDERFUL! The reader will spend time inside the minds of both Vee and Zach—and you will dearly love them both. Vee is nothing short of awesome—she’s the type of BFF you want in your corner. What I loved most about Vee is that she can be both supremely tough and vulnerable to her heart at the same time—it’s beautiful that she hasn’t allowed the world to harden her heart and ability to love. Some of this might have to do with Zach…and, oh, do I love him! He’s the perfect package of a BFF and boyfriend. The way Zach cares for Vee…swoon! He’s willing to put everything on the line to save her. Riley is another character I’m totally digging, though I do have some reservations based on his connections and his growing feelings for a certain character whose heart already belongs to one of my favorite characters. I could seriously go on and on and on about how much I love the characters in this waterless world!

World & Story: Brilliant, terrifying, eye-opening. Amber has imagined such a realistic world that I’m literally ‘there’ when reading. Her story/world has made me really stop and think about water usage and our future.

Overall: This is dystopian storytelling at its absolute best. Amber has created a realistically terrifying world that will keep you on the edge of your seat with characters that you worry about, root for, and cry over. Honestly, I’m in complete love with every single element of Vee and Zach’s story as they fight to stay together, alive, and free. I highly, highly recommend Waterproof to all readers.
