Angel Creek Series by Ada Adams Tour-Character Interview

Hey everyone, today Lana and I are so very excited to have the chance to have a little chat with Dawn, Sebastian and Razor from the Angel Creek Series by the amazing Ada Adams! Thanks so much for being here, guys! 

*Just in case someone’s been living under a rock and they don’t know about you all, could you each tell us a little about yourselves? 

D: I'm Dawn and I used to live in the Scarlet House as the First Daughter. I recently went on my first mission to Angel Creek to train a group of vampire guardian wannabes who turned my life upside down. In a good way. Mostly.

Sebastian: My family founded Angel Creek. I lived here all my life. That is, until...*trails off*

Razor: *places a hand on Sebastian's shoulder and tries to lighten the mood* I'm a big believer in living life to the fullest. In every way imaginable. *winks at Mel**Sebastian, what is your favorite part of living in Angel Creek?

*looks over at Dawn*

*then Razor*

S: That I'm finally surrounded by people I care about the most.*To Sebastian & Razor-what 1 word do you think describes Dawn best?

S: Loyal, intelligent, kind--

R: Way to cheat, bro! Why do you always have to come off sounding like Prince Charming and leave me hanging? Fine then, Dawn is...sexy. Yes...so incredibly sexy that I'd--

S: That's enough!*Dawn-do you have a favorite York brother?

*blushes as she glances at Sebastian*

*Razor clears his throat and wiggles his eyebrows, pointing at himself*

D: Uhh...pass? I'd like to keep the peace now that we're finally back to normal. Well, as normal as we could be.*Razor, in all of your travels, what has been your favorite place to visit? 

South America.*Can each of you share something people would be surprised to learn about you?

D: I feel like lately my life has been an open book. Somehow, though, the secrets keep coming.

S: I'm a really good snowboarder.

R: I cried watching "The Notebook". That's what the ladies like to hear, right?*Dawn-can you tell us a little about what comes next for you?

D: Considering the way "ReAwakened" ended--

ADA: You'll have to read "ReBorn". :) All hell breaks loose!*Thank you so much for stopping by to chat with us!! We are eagerly awaiting ReBorn!!

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!

A simple mission turned deadly.

Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.

When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.

And here is Book 2:

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.

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!!

Treasured Thursdays: Most Treasured Angel Creek Misfit w/ Flash Giveaway

Treasured Thursday is a weekly event created by Touya over at The Reader's Garden that is all about our most treasured. We're hosting it here now, for those of you who are interested in joining us. This week, in honor of our month long appreciation of Ada Adams, author of the Angel Creek series, we're featuring our most treasured Angel Creek Misfit. 

This was so very hard for me because I love them all-they're all so awesome in their own special ways.  In the end, though, it was about who I related to the most. And for that reason, I had to choose Sophie.  I mean, she's a bookworm (so am I, obviously), she is pretty shy (I can be too) and she starts a book blog (hello, we could almost be sisters!). So yes, I chose Sophie because frankly I think she ROCKS. She may be quiet and shy and seem like a pushover but when it comes right down to it, she has the backs of everyone on her team. She may be terrified, but she'll be there anyway. And for that,I think,  you really MUST love her.

Author Spotlight on Ada Adams w/Flash Giveaway!

*Hi there, Ada! We’re very excited to be shining our spotlight on you this month for Author Appreciation. Thank you! I’m very honored to be here! 

*Can you begin by telling us what’s new with you professionally? “ReAwakened”, the second book in the “Angel Creek” series, was released at the end of November. Since the tour just wrapped up, I am now wielding questions about when “ReBorn” will be out. Aside from getting ready to publish the third book in 2013, I’m also working on two other projects.

*What was the last book you read that you really enjoyed? I just finished “Hopeless” by Colleen Hoover. It definitely deserves the wonderful praise it’s getting! I tried to make a little dent in my reading pile while on vacation by squeezing in two-a-days, so I’ve been reading a lot of great books. Once I start working on a project, I have very little time to read and miss it terribly. 

*Is there an author who you feel has influenced you and your writing? My passion for writing emerged at a very early age. While I admire many writers, I don’t think that any one specific author has influenced me in such a strong way that they stand out more than others. I attribute my interest in writing to a conglomeration of authors and my love for reading as a child. 

*Do you have a favorite character out of your gang from the Angel Creek series? If so, do you find it easier to write them than the others? I love writing every single one of the characters! They are all so different from each other; it’s nice to be able to go through so many personalities in one project . That being said, every character has given me a hard time at one point or another, except Razor. I’m really enjoying writing all of his scenes. Sometimes the things he says make me groan, but overall, he has an extremely fun and interesting personality! 

*Lana and I are dying to know if you know how the Angel Creek series will end right now. We don’t need any spoilery details, we’re just being nosy. I had known for a very long time how the series would end. That being said, it may change! My characters tend to have a very big influence on my writing. Sometimes, they decide to switch things up on me. The ending of “ReAwakened” was changed two times before it was published. 

*Do you have any advice for all the aspiring authors out there? Read and write, then read and write some more. Taking a peek into someone else’s imagination motivates me to be creative and exercise my own. And by that I don’t mean that you should be copying someone else’s ideas, but rather being inspired by their creativity and then applying that inspiration to create something unique. Love what you do and don’t be afraid to do it. People constantly tell me that they would like to write, but they’re afraid that they won’t be good at it. You’ll never know if you don’t try. And even if you don’t love the first few things you write, it’s not the end of the world. Writers are constantly growing and changing, so if you really wish to write, don’t give up. That’s where loving what you do comes into play. Writing can be a difficult and sometimes very lonely process, but if you truly enjoy it, then it won’t ever feel like work. At least not until you start editing! For that, I have no words of wisdom. Except maybe “snacks”. Lots and lots of snacks. 

*Can you tell us about what comes next for you? Aside from publishing “ReBorn”, I also have plans for two other projects this year. I’m taking a very short break from the paranormal genre to explore some characters that have been in my head for the past year or so. Both projects will be of contemporary nature (and definitely less PG than “Angel Creek”).

*Thank you very much for chatting with us Ada, it’s always a pleasure! Thank you for having me! I had a lot of fun!

**You can purchase ReVamped & ReAwakened for your kindle! And if you purchase one of them today, leave your order number in the comments & tomorrow morning we will draw 3 random winners to win some Angel Creek Series swag! **

January Author Appreciation w/ Giveaway: Happy Birthday, Ada Adams

Author Appreciation was something we used to do every month and unfortunately as we became busier, it fell by the wayside. However, after some discussion, Lana and I decided we really missed shining the spotlight on awesome authors we love. So, we're bringing it back and dare I say it, it will be better than ever. And we're kicking it off in grand fashion with the very lovely and talented birthday girl, Ada Adams.

Ada Adams is the author of the phenomenal Angel Creek series. The series is about vampires, but with a new twist. She has made the vampire genre fun to read again in my opinion, which I honestly didn't think could be done. For that reason alone, I would love her. But I am so far from done.  Along with being one of the sweetest people I've ever encountered, Ada genuinely appreciates her readers. 

We bloggers appreciate her as well, and I have a few messages from some other lovely bloggers who wanted to show some love to Ada on her birthday: 

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ada!!! I hope your day is full of wonderful birthday wishes coming true! Thanks for supporting my blog! You rock my socks off! Cheers! ~Jessy Johnson, BookEnd 2 BookEnd

Happy Birthday Ada! ~Tam's of Tam's Two Cents

Happy Birthday, Ada! ~ Rose from Rose's Book Corner

Happy Birthday, Ada! We are sending lots of happy thoughts your way and we hope you have a magnificent day. Thank you SO much for all you do & most of all, just for being you. Of course, we love you because you brought us Sebastian, too..but we promise that's not the only reason! 

And now we will celebrate Ada's birthday by adding a giveaway! Good luck! This is open internationally!

Mel & Lana's Top 10 Indie Authors of 2012 & Giveaway

While contemplating our favorite books of 2012, Lana and I realized there were quite a few Indie books that  topped our charts. Then we realized that a lot of those were series written by some pretty amazing Indie authors. We then decided we had to spread the love around and devote a post to the lovely authors who've made us love supporting Indies. These aren't in any kind of order. Enjoy! 

D.T. Dyllin is the author of the P.J. Stone Gates Trilogy & The Death Trilogy.  I was lucky enough to read an arc of Enemy Through the Gates (before Dyllin signed with Dragonfairy Press and changed the name to Hidden Gates).  P.J.'s story had me hooked from the very beginning. And I really loved that it was New Adult, so it was a bit steamier than the YA I'd been reading a lot of before that.  I cannot wait for the second book in the series. ~Mel 

Goodreads / Amazon Author Page/ Website / Twitter /Facebook

Kaye Thornbrugh is the author of paranormal YA novel, Flicker. I got the chance to read this AH-MAH-ZING faerie book a few months ago and it is still one of my absolute favorites (and I am very, very picky person when it comes to the fae). I loved Lee from the start and still wish to kidnap and keep Filo (though I do ship him with Alice...Alice, Lana, they both have L's...). The second book in the Flicker series cannot come fast enough! ~Lana

Blog / Goodreads /  Facebook / Twitter / Amazon Author Page

Frankie Rose is the author of the phenomenal  Hope Series and the upcoming Raksha. I read Sovereign Hope in July and I have been completely besotted with the series ever since. When I finished it, I was sure I'd have to wait at least another year for the next installment. I was very happy when Eternal Hope released in October of the same year.  Aside from being a fantastically talented author, Frankie makes kick-ass book trailers & covers and she's  a pretty  fabulous person. We adore her. ~Mel 

Goodreads / Facebook / Website / Twitter / You Tube  / Amazon Author Page

J Meyers is the author of Intangible, Intuition and Indomitable. After being raged at for MONTHS by Mel (she knows she did xP) I finally picked Intangible up. It was my first Indie Novel and is the main reason I adore indie authors now. I devour anything Miss Meyers sets in front of her readers and cannot wait (can. not. wait.) for the second Intangible novel! ~Lana

Ada Adams  is the author of the Angel Creek Series.  One of the many reasons I adore Ada is that she took a genre (vampires) that I felt was quickly becoming overdone and gave it a complete overhaul and the result was ReVamped. The title is so very fitting. Ada Adams made vampires fun for me to read about again and honestly, I didn't think it could be done.  So again, I thank you, Ada for writing books that I am now hopelessly addicted to.~Mel  

Website / Goodreads / Twitter / Amazon Author Page  /Facebook

 Stacey Rourke is the author of the amazing Gryphon series- The Conduit, Embrace, and Sacrifice. Let me tell you, I adore these books. Celeste (has an awesome name) is a kickass character with a smartass sense of humor that I just love, and the rest of her characters are all deep and wonderful and it... It is just an amazing series. I ADORE it! ~Lana

Goodreads / Amazon Author Page / Facebook / Blog

Michelle Warren is the author of the captivating Seraphina Parrish Trilogy.  She is also the very first Indie author I ever encountered. I can't thank her enough for opening the door to some amazing new stories & friends. Her books are enchanting and they draw you in from the very beginning and they don't let go. She also been kind to her readers by publishing Protecting Truth less than a year after Wander Dust. Now, we're holding our breath waiting for the finale of this wonderful series. ~Mel 

Facebook / Twitter / Website / Amazon Author Page / Goodreads 

Cora Carmack is the author of NYT Best Seller, LOSING IT. I had heard many good things about the book when I first picked it up, and I have to say it is one of my favorites this year (see our Best Of post and you shall see I am not lying). I could really relate to Bliss and Garrick, just... Yum. I love him. I wish he would step out of the book... ha. I will definitely be stalking Carmack for any book she drops next! ~Lana

Goodreads / Blog / Twitter / Facebook

Kristen Day is the author of the Daughters of the Sea Trilogy. This series is amazingly addictive and action packed and really different from anything else out right now. We really can't get enough of her or the fantastically hunky male lead, Finn.  We like Stasia, too..honest! Kristen has also spoiled us by releasing both books 1 & 2 (Forsaken & Awaken) in 2012. Lana and I have been yearning for the final book in the series, Chosen.  I have a feeling I'll be devouring it in a day as soon as I can get my hands on it.  ~Mel 

Goodreads / Blog / Twitter / Facebook 

Cambria Hebert is the author of The Heven and Hell series, and Whiteout. I have not finished the Heven and Hell series yet, (damn RL), but let me tell you, it is EPIC (and I rarely use this word). So twisty and dangerous and..and...ACH I adore it. Cambria herself is a sweetheart and hilarious, and I really hope to meet her (and really, I wish to meet everyone on this list) at UtopYA this year! <3 ~Lana

'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.

“Many people sing in the shower. I write scenes in my head and act them out.” 

At the age of five, Ada read her first chapter book—Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren. Ever since that moment, she developed an intense passion for stories and characters found within the pages of literature. 

In her career as an actress and a writer, Ada currently spends most of her days immersed in imaginary worlds. Much like the characters she enjoys playing and writing about, Ada is a martial artist with a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. She is also a big proponent of lifelong learning, and has attained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (it aids in creating characters with unique quirks!) as well as a Master’s of Science in Education. Ada strives to bring a fresh voice and perspective to fiction. She has been writing creatively for many years, and is an editor of a global fashion/literary magazine called VEUX. ReVamped is her debut novel. 

She lives in Toronto, Canada, and enjoys adventurous nature hikes with her adorable puppies Cara and Oreo.
