Character Interview with Razor of 'ReAwakened' by Ada Adams w/ Flash Giveaway

Lana and I were lucky enough to snag an interview with Razor from The Angel Creek Series as part of our month long celebration of author, Ada Adams! We hope you enjoy this as much as we did :) 


*Hi there Razor, first of all Lana and I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for taking the time to chat with us. Can you start off by telling our readers a little about yourself?
Thanks for having me, ladies. I guess I'll just give you the short and sweet PG version that I gave Dawn when we first met: “I’m a 24-year-old Taurus who enjoys long walks on the beach.” Just replace "walking" with a more physically strenuous activity.

* I know you like to project a very laid back persona, but am I right in assuming you have a more serious side that peeks through every once in a while?
I have a more serious side, but what’s the fun in being serious all the time? I've spent a lot of my early life being reckless, but after losing the most important person to me, I learned a lesson and put all of my energy into being responsible. Of course, after suffering yet another blow that came with my family's slaying and being turned, all that went out of the window. Now, I'm once again trying to balance the two sides.

*What do you consider your greatest accomplishment to date?
I suppose that succeeding in my field as a doctor is seen as a great accomplishment by our society, but the only reason I was motivated to achieve that was because of a personal tragedy. Therefore, I don’t really view it as an accomplishment. At that point in my life, it was something that I needed to do to get away from my pain. In a way, it was a selfish accomplishment, but I've tried to put it to good use by helping others.


*What five words would you use to describe yourself?
How about Sex God x 5? Nah, I’m just kidding. Humble x 5? *grins*


*What’s your favorite way to spend a Saturday night?
If you asked me this a while ago, I'd probably tell you that my perfect Saturday night involved going to some club, picking up the hottest chick there, then doing something reckless for the mere thrill of it...like breaking into some ritzy house with a pool and going skinny-dipping. Lately, I don't really have any desire to do stuff like that. Instead, I think it would be fun to take someone special to a secluded beach for some alone time. Really get away from the real-world and talk one-on-one. Get to know her. Heck, maybe even stargaze. But don't think that I've gone all sweet on you. There would still definitely be some skinny-dipping involved.

*Can you tell us if you plan on sticking around in Angel Creek for a while? If not, where will you head next?
I've always wanted to travel more and see the world. However, for the time being, I'm planning on sticking around Angel Creek. The town may be small, but its current inhabitants are the only people in the world that I care about. I need to spend more time with Sebastian, and I definitely want to spend more time getting to know Dawn.


*Again, thank you very much for chatting with us, Razor! Maybe you can come back and chat with us again sometime.
Or you guys could come visit me in Angel Creek. I'm going to try and convince Dawn to let loose and throw a party at the cottage. We'll see if I actually succeed, but you two are definitely invited!

Friday Fever: ReAwakened by Ada Adams w/ Giveaway

Friday Fever is a weekly event hosted here at Girls *Heart* Books. Every Friday, we will showcase one of our favorite steamy and/or romantic scenes. You know the ones we're talking about; those that get your pulse thumping and your temperature rising. This month we're showcasing the Angel Creek Series as part of our Author Appreciation. Enjoy! 



For the first time since we began our sparring match, I was suddenly aware of him—all of him. Aware of the soft black curls tumbling across his forehead; aware of the firm muscles on his chest and stomach; aware of the intense heat in his silver eyes. Most of all, I was aware of the strong current coursing through my body, luring me toward him. Without further hesitation, he laced his fingers through my hair and pulled me deeper into him. His lips collided against mine, drawing me out of the darkness toward a warm, safe light. With a simple kiss, he had managed to dispel so much of my pain.

I so love Dawn & Sebastian! The wait for ReBorn might just kill me!!

'ReAwakened' by Ada Adams Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway





ReAwakened 

Angel Creek Book #2 
By Ada Adams

Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit. 
Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—or something—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her. 
Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.

ReAwakened is the second book in the Angel Creek Series by the phenomenally talented Ada Adams. Some of you may remember my review of ReVamped (book 1 in the series). I was worried the sequel might not live up to the first but I really didn't need to. I read the bulk of this book in a day and now I am really just DYING to know what happens next..again. Ada Adams got me again. 

ReAwakened picks up shortly after ReVamped leaves off and the action starts right back up  at the very beginning.  This book was a nonstop thrill ride, I had no idea what could possibly happen next and I loved every moment of it. From beginning to end, this book had me completely enthralled with the characters and their continuing growth as the plot unfolded.  I especially enjoyed seeing Dawn, Brooke and Sophie come into their own and reveal more of their true depth to us. 

Not only do we learn more about the characters we already know and love *cough* Sebastian *cough*, we also met a few new faces in ReAwakened. My favorite of these new characters, without a shadow of a doubt, is Razor. He is hilarious, witty, charming and unendingly useful. He fills every scene he's in with a brilliant mix of humor, sincerity and sarcasm. I adore him. My very favorite character, though, is Sebastian. He brings new meaning to the term 'swoon-worthy' in my opinion. He's mysterious, charming, sexy, handsome, intelligent, capable and so many other wonderful things. I could just go on and on..but you get the idea. 

This book had it all; intrigue, action, romance, twists, humor and paranormal elements. Reading it was like being on a roller coaster ride. My emotions ran the gamut; I laughed, cried, sighed, gasped and even yelled at a few points in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though the ending made me want to scream (and I did). Ms Adams has accomplished what I thought to be impossible; this book is even better than it's predecessor.
