Fave Quotes:

Marshall : "Breaking and entering is hardly how I operate." He leers at me suggestively. "All of the entering I'm involved in is mutually consensual," he whispers it low and my stomach ignites with heat. "I come invited."    

 Mom crimps a smile. "On the bright side" -she doesn't let us out of her batshit belfry just yet-"we're all going to be at Demetri's estate today." She's quick to segue into yet another dimension of her delirium-her crush on the violent Fem himself.    

Honest to God, whatever happened to a little street justice by way way of a sawed-off shotgun?      

Marshall: I'd join in on the fun myself, but it would be incredibly inappropriate to fondle your flesh and sack you right here in full-public view.

 We can roll around on the lawn like animals and invent our own naughty games....       

He chest rumbles with laughter. "One day, I'm going to love you until you're delirious." He caresses me at the waist, and an explosion of lust goes off like a bomb through every cell of my body. "When it's just you and me, there will be fire in the air. Forget the moon. The ocean will pull to our magnetism. We'll control the tides with our love. Do you believe me?" he winces as if my answer has the power to hurt him on the most intimate level.   

I have no Gage or Ellis or weaponry to help fight against the menace that is Chloe. The only thing left is rage. And I'm damn sure that's enough.   

Our passion explodes into flames like gunpowder.

Sector Marshall - On Erotic Love and Such...

Welcome lovelies.


Here we are without constraint, or interference.


Let us to delve into the foray of my innermost thoughts and desires. I assure you there are no better expenditures of your time than to settle yourselves at my feet as I divulge my intimate musings.


I can feel your wanting—the longing for my touch. Nevertheless I must make it clear from the beginning, my heart belongs to another.


First, I’d like to take a moment to clarify a few earthly misnomers regarding celestial beings. Let’s set aside all false ideology regarding harps and such, and recover the truth of these sublime creations.


There are several camps of celestial beings, Angels in their subject orders, Sectors, Fems, Caelestis, Powers, Principalities, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Authorities, Councils, Orators, and Rulers.


We are not a common people. We are created beings. We have the ability to observe humanity in its live-stream temporal state—the original reality television if you will. And yes, we see you in your birthday suit, testing our your dance moves, studying your reflection as you contort a dozen different smiles—all amusing vanities that rarely spark our interest.


Human quirks aside—lets put to rest the most vicious rumor against my kind—that we are incapable of Eros love.


It is very much accurate to say created beings are not only capable of free will, but of desire, lust, and both carnal thirst and weakness. Somehow your watered down mythology lumped us together as genderless, meek, pansies akin to harp strumming butterflies—fierce as a gnat.


I’ll say it once, we can, and will, annihilate and destroy. We have the power to rain down fire from the sky, sweep away half the planet with plagues and illness if moved to do so. We are a band of warriors that operate under the authority to kill, slay, maim—aid if necessary. Whatever the assignment may be. We don’t argue. We simply get it done.  


In regards to love, I won’t weary you with the basic mood groups. Instead, we’ll focus on the mystical Eros—the fruit of God—the gift of erotic love.


One of the most startling features of mankind is the puritanical nature of the masses. Astounding when you consider it. Eros love was never meant to be shameful or belittled as some dirty chore. Eros love is the most critical assignment given to man, and thus, one of the only acts replicated generationally other than eating or breathing.


Adam and Eve christened the garden with their love as the first order of business, and believe me when I say there is not better business than to propagate Eros desires.


In the past I have often put my own ability to love and be loved in return under the celestial microscope, and like humans, failed in the attempt to realize the dream. I had come close once before in the middle ages, England. But that’s a story for another day.


Although that love faded and the candle of our affection was quickly snuffed out, I have been fortunate enough to find another—my soul’s prime attachment, a mate, a companion—one who will be a lover without compare.


It is through the Nephilim—irritants they might be—that draws forth the love of my eternal grace, Skyla Laurel Messenger.


Early on when I was in observance of Skyla, she was fumbling around campus in a bathrobe—not a champion of sophistication but a rather delightful spitfire of conventional formality, filled with elegance and grace beyond her years.


I had subjugated her to my eminence in dreams and visitations, and I can assure you although resistant to my efforts at first, she’s come around quite nicely. Her interest in me is duly noted by the aura of sunset hues she releases while burning for my affection. Suffice it to say, there is fire in the air when Skyla is near.


To prove these aren’t the ramblings of a madman—a prized revelation has been divinely gifted to me through Delphinius, an Orator of great respect. He has revealed that Skyla and I will one day engage in holy matrimony. An idea so relished, so desired, I would have sold my rite as a Sector to procure her as my wife to begin with.


And, after the blessed event, Master willing, we will be anointed with a multitude of offspring, which in turn will procure dominion for us in both the ethereal and earthly planes. Such children the earth has never bore witness to prior or I suspect after, although I surmise the future lineage of my descendants will be equally exalted.


I do hope they have Skyla’s eyes—such magnificent beauty is found in her temporal being. It’s a crime of nature to have so many stunning attributes locked in a single person.


There is the matter of a certain affection being returned to me. I assure you I can feel Skyla’s wanting, her desire—her love for me is obvious when she pours herself into those passionate kisses. When she trembles in my arms, I ache to quench her every need.


One day, we shall find refuge and solace in one another’s arms, and should we fall to disagreement we’ll simply settle our differences in the nude, tucked beneath our satin sheets. How I long for days filled with settling our disagreements…


Although, I assure you I’m quite capable of keeping a heartfelt smile on my lovely bride by supplying a generous display of emotional and physical assurances—so many physical assurances—rampant, unbridled, unconstrained, enthusiastic exhibits of both public and private affection. There will be no bounds to my display of devotion. Rest assured I will pour passion out like oil over my beloved. Let’s just say the colloquial term “get a room” will go off like a choir when we’re in the trappings of the general public.  

Now, moving to the subject of the incompetent Olivers. Jock Strap and the Pretty One have taken a liking to my future bride, with both laying claim to a prospective life with her. That, in partial, is why I chose to employ myself at the establishment of education in which they attend. Angels and Sectors alike are not omniscient nor do we have a clear view of what the future holds. It’s pertinent I inject myself in Skyla’s life in as many ways possible. Monitoring potential suitors is just one facet of ensuring she lands safely in my arms.


Let’s dissect Jock Strap for a moment, formally known to the populace as Gage Theodore Oliver or number forty-four if you prefer the coding of his inferior athletic pursuit.


He has a bad back, which he’s yet to put the finger on due to the fact he blames his aches and pains on the Pretty One for challenging his male prowess at every turn. I might be moved to snap him in two, should he continue to actively pursue the hand of my betrothed—give his vertebrae something a little more obvious to moan about.


His mind is in a constant state of copulation.  It’s distracting when I’m attempting to lead the masses down a path of mathematical reason to have him bombard the atmosphere with thoughts of sacrilegious intercourse. Believe you me, envisioning a blatant pornography session with my future wife does nothing to get on my good side. In fact, it ignites me in a rage to bear witness to the carnality of his boyhood fantasies.


I’d like nothing more than to pith his grey matter right through his lewd glowing eyes. I have a quiver full of arrows ready and willing to assist me in the endeavor. It would be a great way to put an end to the atrocities he afflicts me with and an end to him in general. We will get to the end of young Oliver—that much I can assure.  


On to the Pretty One; Logan, unlike Jock Strap, does show a significant aptitude for sacrifice where Skyla is concerned, and in turn, this concerns me. He did employ a rather unusual level of devotion far beyond any puppy love that might be expected at his age when he abandoned his Celestra standing. He’s numbered himself with the Countenance on her behalf, and now Skyla’s heart is forever pricked with undying dedication.


Lets be clear on one thing as we prepare to depart—not a moment passes without Skyla in my thoughts, or in my heart. The prospect of losing her for a time to another is far too excruciating to bear, and thus, I mustn’t allow that misstep to interfere with the building of our intimacy.


I shall quench a flame or two on my own if I have to.


After all—death becomes everybody.


My banner over Skyla is love.












*Please come back at a yet undisclosed time when Ms. Moore graciously rewrites a scene from the most relevant viewpoint of all—mine.
Fair warning—prepare to be dazzled and conceivably aroused.


Perhaps you have a thirst for knowledge only I can quench. Leave your burning questions below. It’s my pleasure to satisfy your every cerebral desire. 

FINAL Day of Addison Moore Week! SURPRISE *GAGE POV* Exclusive

SO SAD that today is the last day of this AMAZING week with Addison!!

So Thank you so much to all of you! Also HUGE thanks to Addison for letting me kidnap her and her characters for the week....I'm stalkerish when I get going on a project and she rolled with it :) Now enough from me.... here is GAGE!!!!

*My Gage*

(Chapter 2 of ETHEREAL from Gage’s POV) 

Gage

I catch Logan over by the register counting change or lack thereof. Poor guy will be completely grey before his twentieth birthday. All he thinks about is turning a profit. Really I know he’s trying to hang onto the last bit of his parents he has left—and that incarnation just so happens to be this bowling alley. 

Brielle comes in with her hair pulled back, energized like she just stepped out of a light socket. She speeds in this direction with a girl about our age, face of angel, body to match, so of course I drop the mop and head on over. They try taking a seat but Logan intercepts. 

“Bree,” he says, but it’s her friend he’s interested in. Any new female on the island has a Logan shaped target on her forehead until he tags and bags her—then again, he’s never slept with anyone but Chloe, and God knows that turned into a nightmare. 

I shoulder up to him and devour the new girl with my eyes—forget to breathe or move in the process.

She’s wearing shorts that show off her golden tan legs that stretch out forever. Her hair falls in waves, long over her back. 

It’s her.

The room warps. Everything turns into a muddy spiral with the exception of the vision standing before me. I know that beautiful face, those prism-like eyes. She’s haunted my dreams for years, supplied my waking hours with nonstop fantasies, and now she’s standing in front of me as if she had always been here. 

 “Guys, this is Skyla,” Brielle bounces. “She’s moving into Chloe’s old house. Skyla, these are the knuckleheads I work with, Logan and Gage.” 

Chloe’s house—just hearing that, pulls the pin on a grenade I’ve been lugging around in my gut. 

Skyla. 

My insides erupt like a furnace. Being near her kick-starts a serious rush of adrenaline, and my hands begin to shake.  

Love her name. I love the way she rest her hand on her hip, the way a smile plays on her lips as if she’s too shy to give it. There’s a softness in her spirit, a meekness that draws me in. 

I’ve counted weeks, days, hours, without any idea if she even existed—with the very real possibility it were all some hallucination my mind had conjured up in an effort to torture me, and yet she’s real—so damn freaking beautiful—and most certainly not noticing me.

She’s looking at Logan—probably wondering why he’s smiling like some deranged lunatic. I’d better step in before he wrecks everything—before she decides it’s better to steer clear of the bowling alley and the Olivers in general for her own personal safety.

“Skyla?” I put my hand out, and she takes it, soft and fragile. I close my eyes a moment as her flesh warms to mine. “Gage Oliver.” My heart pounds so loud I’m sure she can hear it. Not even the sound of the bowling balls thundering towards their destination can drown it out.

Maybe I should lean in and kiss her on the cheek or something? I shake the thought away. What the hell kind of idiot kisses someone they just met? This is going to end with a slap in the face or a restraining order if I don’t maintain. 

“You have a very unique name,” Logan extricates my hand and takes over. “It’s beautiful.” 

Figures.

He bows in and presses his lips just under her wrist.

That answers my question. Logan is just the right kind of idiot—a real knight in shinning armor. I’m sure he’ll be throwing rocks at her window later for the midnight serenade. 

I glare over at him. 

He’s hypnotizing her with his pretty boy magic, flashing his teeth, broadening his chest—forgetting to exhale like he’s giving some primal demonstration of his athletically advanced DNA.

Skyla gives a less than amused smile. Hopefully she’s categorizing him in the dope with no hope division. 

 “Logan Oliver,” his voice dips low. 

Brielle and I exchange looks at the desperation of it all.

“Oh, so you’re brothers?” She turns her body into him. It looks seductive, like some erotic autonomic response, and an alarm goes off in me. 

Logan is taking over. She’s buying into him hook, line, and sinker. 

“Cousins,” he corrects as if he’s trying to distance our blood relations. “I live with them.” He lays his other hand over hers like some bizarre display of benevolence. 

I’m sure he’s plowing through her thoughts, spinning through them like a Rolodex trying to decipher how she feels about him—see if there’s anything he can use against her in the name of sealing the deal. 

“My parents are both deceased,” he adds. 

And he goes there.

I cut him a dirty look. 

It sounds like he blurted it out but still. Knowing Logan, there’s an underlying strategy involved. 

Skyla shrinks a little as she takes in this odd admission. She pulls nervously at a long strand of hair, looking perfectly freaked out.

I glance back at Logan.

Nice work, Romeo. Boys with dead parents are a no-fly zone for most girls. Emotional trauma isn’t usually high up on the must have list of attributes. 

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Her eyes round out in horror.

Unless, she happens to be the exception. 

Her hips sway into him, and she gives a look that suggests she might be willing to comfort him physically.

“My dad died, too.” Her voice softens to nothing as she glances to her feet.

My heart stops. Just hearing her say those words makes my stomach bottom out. 

I hope Logan feels like crap for digging in the graveyard for sympathy. Now look—she’s visibly upset.

Everything in me wants to comfort her. The fresh look of hurt in her eyes lets you know it wasn’t long ago, that it stings like hell to think about. I want to tell her it’s going to be OK, but I know better. OK is a futile word especially when it’s nothing but a lie. Things like this never turn out OK.  

Logan surrenders her hand like returning a stolen treasure. 

I hope he heard how lousy she thinks he is for spotlighting her biggest loss.

“Sorry,” he offers. It comes out genuine with his own built in sadness filling in the cracks of her grief. 

Logan motions them over to a nearby table, and I secure the seat in front of the girl from my dreams. No use in letting Logan lead her any further down the wrong path, i.e. himself.

He gives a dissatisfied look in my direction. 

It’s on, and he’s pissed.

I blink a smile into him. I’ll gladly go toe to toe with Logan in this arena. This isn’t Michelle, or Lexy, or just any other girl on the planet. If he thinks I’m getting out of his way because he says so, he’s delusional. 

All those dreams and visions mean something—the one in the courthouse—Skyla looking up, waiting for a kiss—it was me she wanted it from—it had to be.  

“So you’re a junior?” I touch my knuckles to the table like a nervous habit.

“Yup.” She bites into her lip—her perfect pout mesmerizes me. “And you guys?”

“We’re all juniors!” Brielle rattles her to attention.

If Logan and his eulogy didn’t run her off, Brielle and her manic enthusiasm—over school of all things, just might do the trick.    

She stares into Bree with great intensity. 

Thought so.

 “So tell me about Chloe,” Skyla says it casual with a dark undertone that pricks my hairs on end. 

The table goes quiet.

Nobody knew Chloe like I did. I’d venture to say that even Logan with his sexual conquest of the dearly departed knew her far less. 

A part of me wants to tell her about Chloe, about the hype and paranoia that surrounds her, but no good could ever come of it. The last thing I want is to spook her—send her into Logan’s arms permanently and ruin things.

I’m keeping my mouth shut that’s for damn sure.

For a minute I consider taking her someplace private so we can be alone like Devil’s Peak or Rockaway. I want to tell her that I’m already in so deep, that I’m dying to know her, feel her, taste her. 

I bear into Skyla with a penetrative stare—drink her down like holy water, take in her beauty, the light she radiates without even trying, but she doesn’t glance back. She’s too lost in Logan to even notice. 

I doubt those visions will ever come true if she gives her heart away to someone else. 

I know one thing for sure—I’ll fulfill a commitment I made long ago to find a place for myself in her life. I’ll rearrange the universe to make this happen. Logan doesn’t stand a chance.

She bats her lashes into him dazzled and doe-eyed, drop-kicks my heart in the process—a field goal for the other team.

This is going to be tougher than I ever imagined.

*Sigh* yeah I love that boy!!

Day 6 Addison Moore Week... Surprise Day #1

Day 6 here on Addison Moore week is ....

Surprise Day #1

What is the surprise you ask??? WELL I have for you straight from Addison .... A POV from none other than....

Logan Oliver  

Squeeeeeeee

Ok OK enough from me.... here is Logan Oliver's POV : 

Logan meeting Skyla for the very first time; (Before he procures a supervising spirit in VEX)




It rained three days straight—then like some kind of miracle it finally let off.
I toss the coins into the register, steady as a metallic waterfall.
Pennies. That’s all I’ll have to show for this place if business doesn’t pick up.
A chattering whirlwind walks through the door—Brielle. Looks like she’s brought company so I guess I’m supplying free shoes and ten rounds, probably a well catered lunch all on my dime. Brielle has a running tab six years long. In addition to that I pay her to hang out and talk on the phone.
I don’t really mind. At this point I’d pay half the customers to be here.
My eyes shift over to the girl with her. Long blonde hair, perfect body, perfect face—eyes as bright as diamonds.
A hot bite of perspiration cuts through me.
I’ve been around plenty of girls and not one of them has ever made me sweat.
The girl with the crystal eyes spears me a look that says I eat scum like you for breakfast. Not that I’d stop her. Hell—I’d encourage it.
My lips curve at the thought.
The girls turn and head towards a table.
“Bree,” I call.
Brielle rolls her eyes because she knows what I’m really after.
Gage pops up expanding his chest. I can tell he’s interested, but he’d better back off. No boys need apply. She’s all mine.
“Guys, this is Skyla,” Brielle ticks into the girl with a shy smile. “She’s moving into Chloe’s old house. Skyla, these are the knuckleheads I work with, Logan and Gage.” She waves her hands over Gage and me like she were gifting us to her—another thing I wouldn’t mind with the exception of Gage. The way he bats off girls waiting for ‘the one’ to show up makes me wonder if he’s switched teams.
Brielle laughs, she might very well be going on about something, but all I hear is the equivalent of a power mower. I’m too busy enjoying the view.
“Skyla?” Gage takes up her hand, pants into her like a puppy.
What the hell?
“Gage Oliver.” He leans in, never dipping his gaze to her cleavage.
He’s got self-control I’ll give him that.
Skyla—I want to say it—feel it tumble off my tongue. I’m half afraid I’ll shout it out in an uncalled for fit of delirium. Someone like Skyla has the power to make my voice break like a twelve-year old. I’m pretty sure I’d let her break me anytime she wanted in much more creative ways than that. The nightly possibilities I’m going to have with this one are staggering. I think I’ve just met the star of all my future best dreams, live and in person.
Time to stomp Gage and his affections out like a fire.
“You have a very unique name. It’s beautiful,” I say, carefully plucking Gage off her and replacing his death grip with mine. Reading her thoughts is just a pleasant side effect of holding her hand. Besides, it’s painfully obvious to everyone in the room that Gage is all worked up over our new friend here. I’ll have to push him into the pool later to cool him off.
She digs a half-smile into her cheek and my stomach twists like a tangle of bungee cords.
I pull in and bring her hand up to my lips.
“Logan Oliver,” I annunciate to let both her and Gage know I’m the only Oliver she needs to direct her interests towards.
“Oh, so you’re brothers?” She bites the inside of her lip and pivots in her shoes.
They look nothing alike. Or maybe they’re step? Mothers marrying morons is on the rise.
I give a private smile. I take it she doesn’t like the moron her mother married.
She turns her chest into me, brushes over me with an open look, and I swallow hard.
“Cousins.” I nod over towards Gage. “I live with them,” I lay my other hand over hers in the event she wants to divulge a full evaluation of the two of us. “My parents are both deceased.”
Did I just go there? There’s no quicker way to kill a conversation than dragging in your dead relatives.
Her face turns apple red.
Perfect. She’ll be bolting for the exit in less than five.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” She steps in with a great look of sadness. “My dad died, too.”
I gently place her hand by her waist, take her in with this newfound information. She’s not just a body, a face—she’s a person who loved someone and lost them.
My heart breaks for her. There is no greater pain than losing a parent. I want to let her know I’m here for her, that I’d gladly shield her from this rotten world—maybe I can help her heal—maybe she can help heal me.
“Sorry,” I whisper, absorbing her with wonder before she decides to bolt for safety. I want to memorize her, etch her into my grey matter. It takes all of my self-control not to wrap my arms around her and console her.
I ruined the moment. I’ll be the downer she does her best to avoid. Can’t run a business, can’t get the girl. I’m on a real effing streak.
I walk us over to a table and Gage plods along. I’ll have to manufacture a task for him if I catch him showing another ounce of interest. The last thing Gage and I need is to be competing for the same girl.
Gage swipes the seat across from Skyla and leans in, turns on those baby blues in an effort to jockey for her attention.
Guess Gage just put himself in the game, which is completely fine because everybody needs to learn to deal with a broken heart at some point in the their lives and this will have be his.
I give a complacent smile in his direction.
“So you’re a junior?” He knocks on the table like he’s demanding an answer.
I’ll have to give him a few pointers later on how to get the girl—all bad and fruitless of course—like write her a poem. Nothing says stalker like poetry.
“Yup.” She bites down on those perfect lips and my insides explode. “And you guys?”
“We’re all juniors!” Brielle shakes her as if we won the scholastic lottery. I swear that girl is on something half the time. Nobody walks around that psyched up to be alive twenty-four seven.
Skyla looks over at Bree like she’s lost it. She glares into her with an unnatural curiosity as if she were reading her mind.
“So tell me about Chloe,” Skyla takes us all in. It comes out interrogating— surprises the hell out me, and for a minute I wonder if she’s the second coming. Although in this altered state I think I could forgive Chloe of all her trespasses. Just the thought of Chloe Bishop makes my blood boil. That was the first and last time I’ll ever be used by anybody.
I glance back up at Skyla.
Although, I’d make an exception for her if I had to.
I’d break every rule in the book for her.

ummmm.... *swooon* yeah... I said it :)

Ok ok... enough with the telling you about the book I can hear you all now... WHERE is GAGE?? Well here he is .... 

My Gage!!!

Character Interview Gage Oliver

AM- Gage! I’m so happy to have you here today. You are so very loved, and for some reason as of late, you’ve been the focal point of much controversy. What do you make of all this?

Gage – I think once the truth comes out people will see if they were wrong or right about me. I know where my loyalty lies and soon everyone else will too. 

AM- You’re a senior next year, any thoughts on what you might like to do post graduation? 

Gage – A neighboring island has a university, I’ll probably be applying to in the fall. I was thinking I might try out for the team—see if I make the cut. I don’t know. I guess it depends if I can keep my grades up.

AM- You seem down. 

Gage – I am. I’ve got a lot going on right now. I upset a lot of people—guess they thought I was something I wasn’t. 

AM -  What’s your relationship like with Logan?

Gage – It’s hanging in there—by a thread. I’m not sure if it’ll ever be the same like before Skyla came into our lives. He’s like my brother. We’ve been through a lot but nothing like this. I don’t know if things will ever be the same for us.

AM- Did you sacrifice everything for love?

Gage – Not yet, but I will if I have to. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for the people I care about. 

AM- That sounds ominous. Let’s move to a different subject. What are your thoughts on Marshall Dudley?

Gage – He’s a kook. I’d like to send him back to wherever the hell he came from. He’s nothing but a six thousand year old pervert. 

AM -  What do you think about what happened to Skyla and Logan at the stone of sacrifice?

Gage – I think it’s horrible. I never wanted that to happen.  

AM- Chloe arranged for that it. Does it change your opinion of her? 

Gage – Not for a minute. 

AM- You have the gift of knowing. Has that helped or hurt you?

Gage- I don’t know. I guess I’d have to say both. When I was little it was like a game. I would see things and when they would happen it was like Christmas. It was amazing to know I could see into the future. Lately it’s been nothing but a ball of confusion. I’m not sure I trust it anymore.

AM-  Do you know things you haven’t shared yet?

Gage- (Quiet for a moment) I know some things that are pretty painful. I know some things that if they do happen, they’ll be wonderful. I know things about Logan. I know things about Skyla, and I know things about Chloe. 

AM- Would you ever tell any of them the things you know about their future?

Gage – Not these things. Sometimes it’s best to just let the future play out, let destiny do its thing.

AM- That’s almost the opposite of what Logan said.

Gage – That doesn’t surprise me. (Dimples explode, no smile) Logan and I have a different way of looking at life sometimes. He charges, I take my time. 

AM- What kind of future would make you happy?

Gage – I want to live a simple life right here on the island, raise a family—maybe help my dad out with the mortuary or go into business for myself. I’m not sure yet. I like to write. Maybe I’ll write a book someday. 

AM- What kind of book would you like to write?

Gage – Hmm, maybe a thriller, a mystery full of love and deception. I seem to know that best. 

AM- Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. If you do pen a novel I’d love to read it. Is there anything else you’d like to say?

Gage – One day, I’d like to tell my side of the story. I don’t like being villainized. Things happened, and I take responsibility for those things, but I don’t think I should be judged for helping the person I love.

AM- Fair enough. I’ll see to it that you get your side of the story out. I’m really looking forward to hearing things from your point of view.  

Gage – Thank you. 

**I may be upset with him... but I still totally Love this boy** *squeee* did you see that?? Gage getting his story out?? Yeah I'm dancin around like a little girl :) 

Review: 

So you know by now how much I love love love this series, right?  Wow this one is amazing... I think I have said that about them all so far but really... they just keep getting better!

The story is moving along at warp speed and Addison just goes with whatever she wants and it all just falls into place. Your just reading along and then SMACK nope it's not at all what you thought. I LOVE THAT! 

Skyla is still just Skyla... she can't decide where her heart really lies, but I think that's because it is with 3 different guys. How can you not love something about each one of them? I know I am sooo anti Marshall it's not even funny when it comes to her but yeah there it is. 

Full on trouble just keeps coming in this one... Between Chloe, Mia, Tad and the Fems I don't know how Skyla keeps her head on straight! Chloe has Gage up her butt b/c she's holding something over her, Mia is threatening Skyla everytime she turns around with something... Tad is just an ass any which way you put it and AHHH the Fems are everywhere! I will have to say some of my fave parts included Tad and some things that happen with him.

Wicked is just well... Wicked awesomeness! 

Tomorrow is... Surprise Day and You SOOOO do NOT want to miss it! no really... BE HERE!

One Comment will win an e-book of Ethereal *if you own it give it to someone else to share in the Celestra love!!*

And now.... an interview with the one and only Twisted girl that is Chloe 



Character Interview: Chloe Bishop


AM- Wow, I’m really glad to speak with you today. You’ve amassed quite the reputation on the island as the wicked mean girl. Any truth to these rumors?


Chloe – I guess it would depend who you trusted. If you asked my friends I think they would count me as loyal and forgiving. If you talked to my enemies they would suggest otherwise. If you talked to Skyla Messenger she would tell you her version of the truth, but she only knows part of the story.


AM- What do you mean she only knows part of the story? Doesn’t she know that you were responsible for more than one tragedy in her life? Isn’t that enough?


Chloe – It’s enough if you that’s all you’re interested in. She replaced me in more ways than one, but I have my methods of dealing with people like that.


AM- So you’re not done with her? You’ve already taken from her the two people she loved most.


Chloe – Have I? Or does she love herself the most?


AM – What motivates you? Power, love? 


Chloe – I have both. What motivates me is hatred. Hatred is the one constant in my life that I can count on. 


AM- Shouldn’t you rely on love—focus your attention on kindness and forgiveness?


Chloe – That’s for the weak, the powerless. 


AM- I’ve come to understand that you have an affection for Gage and yet you’re with Ethan Landon. How does that work for you?


Chloe – Gage. (Malevolent smile) Gage and I have an understanding. Ethan (averts eyes) I need him to trust me, and he does. 


AM-  Who do you see yourself marrying, raising a family with?


Chloe – (Takes a breath at the thought) I will marry Gage. 


AM-  You seem fairly confident about this. 


Chloe – I don’t waste my time on doubt. 


AM- What are your thoughts on Skyla? Who do you think she might be most likely to spend her life with?


Chloe – Skyla? I hope Skyla burns. I’d like to arrange for that myself. I think a nice bath in lighter fluid and a match would do her some good. In fact, she can give Logan and that Sector she has wrapped around her vagina both a nice long hug in the process. Now there’s a sight I’d pay to see, record it so I can watch it over and over. 


AM- Sounds like a felony in the making.  Tell me one more thing about yourself, something that would surprise the world if they new it.


Chloe – I have a secret. 


AM- I thought you might. Feel like divulging?


Chloe – I’ll never tell. But you will, won’t you? I hope you go to hell. 


AM- On that note, I think this interview is over. 

WOW, she is even a bitch to Addison... I wonder if A needed a drink after that one? LOL she gets me to...

Review

1st - some of my fave quotes from this book... "Marshall, a.k.a. Studley Dudley" sorry this was funny to me :)  

and then..."I contemplate the finer skills I've picked up since moving to the island-liar, cheat, thief, oh yeah-murderer. At least Paragon is molding me into a well-rounded asshole." Oh how I love Skyla!

Chloe's diary is in Skyla's hands now... Oh WOW! This is highly telling as to what kind of person Chloe really is. Skyla gets into reading it and just cannot stop. She's finding out all kinds of juicy details about Everyone.  

We get more into what makes a Celestra and kinda what the Sectors are all about...One in particular. I loved this one there is suspense, Love, mystery and more! 

The boys: Logan and Gage are both working hard to steal Skyla's heart for themselves. Gage plays the passive Love letting her choose because he KNOWS its going to be him. Logan is fighting for her at every turn while keeping secrets from her. 


Skyla: Poor girl she has 3 guys who are professing their love for her so what's a girl to do when your heart is in love with all 3 ... kinda. I love how Addison does this... a normal teenage girl can totally love more than 1 person, I know I did then. She is being torn 3 different ways and dealing the best she can. Each time she tries to help it gets screwed up in the most major way.....again glad to see that everything is not "perfect" all the time cause lets face it nothing in life is that way.


Marshall.... oh how I love to hate him!! This go round he has Skyla kissing him so she can share in his visions of what is coming ... and yeah that's all Imma say about that :( 

The end of this one is like... 

and everything begins to change and shake the hell out of you!

GET THIS SERIES if you haven't b/c it is SOOO worth the read!! whooot 

one comment will win an e-copy of Ethereal *if you have it already gift it to someone who doesn't so they can LOVE it too*

Day 3 of Addison Moore Week Q&A With Addison

Welcome to Day 3 of Addison Moore week here at SupaGurl Books! Today is Q&A time with Addison... It's all about her!

Find Addison Moore Hanging out at these places

Goodreads | Blog | Twitter 

So before we get started I just want to share that in her books... some ok ok MOST of her kissing scenes leave you feeling amazing! Some are intense! Some are so sweet... Here are a few examples of what I see when I read :) 

*Sigh* ok ok .. Now All About Addison continues...


Today I am "meeting" up with Addison Moore to ask her some questions. I walk into the coffee shop looking for her *ok not really her I'm totally looking for Logan or Gage*. I spot a booth with her waiting. *dashes to booth*

SG : Hey! so sorry your waiting on me... want some coffee or are you ready to get started? *still looking around for the boys*

A: I'd love some coffee. Strong with lots of flavored creamer. Might as well make it worth it, right? Anyway, I'm SUPER excited to be here today! This entire week has me buzzing. Those character interviews were a serious blast to do.

SG: *hands you your coffee* I know I just want to say AGAIN cause I know I've said it before.... I love The Celestra Series! *giggles* No really I love everything about it. Can you tell me where you came up with the idea for it all?

A: Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you're loving it. I really have a good time when I'm writing and I always hope that will carry over to the reader. As for how I came up with it I sort of morphed two older ideas I had. One was a YA series about a group of kids who lived on an island, and the other was a story about girl who was seeing her guardian angel. I was getting pretty frustrated with both projects so I thought why not morph those ideas together? And I think it worked. 

SG: Dude! that is cool :) I love hearing how authors come up with their stories. *Glances around for the 15th time* Ok, did Logan and Gage not come with you? *huffs* Alright, Now let's let everyone know a little about you, like what is that you do in your spare time? Do you actually have any of that?

A: Oh, I do--and guess what? I write! I'm a writer and all a writer ever does is think about their stories. I plot while I do the dishes, jot down notes at red lights, and I'll look for new cover ideas while on the treadmill. I always have a pen and paper handy to write even the silliest thing that might come to mind because magically those things have a way of disappearing from memory fairly quickly. The shower and just before falling asleep are a minefield of ideas. Go figure.

SG: *Laughs* Ok now I can see that you totally have a notebook and pen hanging outside your shower. Are you hungry? I'm getting a little hungry .... What is your favorite snack food? Just FYI mine is cheesecake.

A: I am a sucker for cheesecake!! I might have to say ice cream is one of my favorite go-to food groups, and of course cheesecake ice cream is a perfect combination. Oh, and I die a little each time I take a bite of chocolate. It's killing me softly with ecstasy. Did I just go there?

SG: *bounces in the chair a bit* OH WAITER!! 2 slices of cheesecake over here!! *leans in* I really love cheesecake.... So when you were younger what type of guy did you go for, and does that translate into any of your guy characters? Wait... does that even make sense? What I mean is are any of the guys ya know your "type" of guy. *rolls eyes* You get what I mean right? ..... Addison please don't look at me like I'm insane LOL

A: OK, here's the problem, I do love me some Logan alpha male action, but I'm a sucker for the sweet sensitive type that might be prone to write a poem or two on paper or with his lips, such as Gage. Decisions, decisions.. lol! I think if I had to choose between Logan, Gage and Marshall it would be impossible, but I think, for me personally, Marshall would win out at the end of the day. We'd make quite a pair. And, I can only imagine what would happen behind closed doors.

SG: *debates whether I think Addison is still cool or not* Marshall ... really? Ok I can totally see about the behind closed doors thing. Yeah I agree about Logan and Gage though... sigh... I couldn't choose between them if they were in front of me. *I will just have them both HA Haaa* Here we are talking about those yummy boys again, this is supposed to be about you and I keep getting side tracked, so sorry. Oh I have one for ya! Let's say you've won an all expenses paid vaca to wherever you want to go *Awesome huh* Where do you go?

A: Hmm... Anywhere? Gah! Too many places to choose from. I might consider the moon because I'm betting it's pretty quiet up there and laundry isn't such a big deal, but I'm a sucker for the tropics so I'll say Hawaii. And no technology-free resort for me thank you very much. I'll need some good Wi-Fi wherever I'm at. Doesn't some facebook and a nice long nap on the beach sound perfect?

SG: Oh girl that sounds like .. yeah perfect... Dang I knew I was going to forget to ask you something... well do you read in all your glorious spare time? What kind of books are your faves? See, i love YA but man I also like a good steamy PRN too. OH OH you must read the Black Dagger Brotherhood if you haven't *rawr* LOL

A: Oh my gosh, you are the second person who told me that! I'll have to check out that series. I do read. I read tons. I read in and out of my genre. It depends what I'm in the mood for. I like humor but not every book I read has to have it. The very last book I read was M. Leighton's FRAGILE, and I just finished that today. The next book in my TBR pile is I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella.

SG: REALLY!!! you have to read them... I mean it should be like a freakin requirement that everyone who loves to read...read them. *Gets Dreamy eyes* Oh so sorry you get me talking about the Brothers and I'm lost :) kinda the way I feel about Logan and Gage! One more question then I will let you head out so that you can write some more yummy goodness for us all ;) Let's say Oh look you've won the lottery..... What is the FIRST thing you do?

A: The lottery... let's see...Well, after I squirrel away a nest egg for the fam, I'd most likely hop on a plane and test out my theory on whether or not a nice long nap on a Hawaiian beach is perfect. ;)

SG: Addison, I will let you run on now. *Stands up to leave* Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me so that the readers can get to know you a little better. *Pounces on ya real quick like* *hugggs* Ha! Gotcha :) *waves* See ya around!!

A: *Hugs back* Thanks girl! This was a B-L-A-S-T! Let me know when and where and we'll do it again! Thank you so very much for having me.

This is totally what I looked like after getting to chat it up with Addison!!

Logan Oliver was kind enough to sit down with Addison and answer some questions... kinda *sigh*

In case you didn't figure this out already he's my Logan :) 

AM –Logan! It’s so nice to get a chance to speak with you away from all of the insanity that goes on in that island. How are things going with you?

Logan- Let’s see—my business is suffering, I gave up my girlfriend in an effort to protect her, and now we’re both victim to our worst nightmare, so I would venture to say not well.

AM- Sorry. (Slinks in her seat a little) Obviously I know what would make you happy, taking down the Counts and getting the girl, right? So let’s go in a different direction. Tell me something that you have never told anyone.

Logan – (Shifts uncomfortably) I guess, (swallows hard) I’ve never told anyone the real story behind the protective hedge—how my grandmother received it, how it came to be in my possession and why I gave it to Chloe in the first place. 

AM- Well? Spill!

Logan – Not today. I think if I ever do tell that story I owe it to Skyla first.

AM- Fair enough. What motivates you? 

Logan- My love for Skyla, the Celestra people. I know something (his features darken) something about the future that drives me to do whatever I can to ensure Skyla and I arrive there safe, but things can change in the ethereal plane and alter everything if we’re not careful.  

AM- What is it about the future that keeps you pressing forward at such a breakneck pace?

Logan – I don’t know everything but I see a future with Skyla. I see us together and we have a life. There’s another reason, a very beautiful reason, but I don’t know if we’ll ever get there. I’ll die trying if I have to. 

AM- Sounds pretty ambiguous. Let’s try something concrete. If you could move anywhere on the planet and do anything, where would you go and what would you do?

Logan – Easy—Paragon, run the bowling alley. It’s simple and both make me happy. 

AM- What about tackling Wall Street? Or living in Paris?

Logan- That’s not the dream for me. 

AM- What’s your greatest fear?

Logan – That I’ve caused all of this misery. That in my effort to save Skyla, I walked her into the greatest harm possible. That at the end of the day she’ll think I was a bigger monster than the Counts ever could be, and that she’ll wish she never knew me. 

AM- It breaks my heart to hear that. If you could change just one thing what would you alter? 

Logan – Simple. I’d steer her clear of Gage. (Gives a little laugh) But that wouldn’t have changed anything. I think both you and I know that destiny would have found a way.

AM- Do you believe destiny always finds a way? Even if the circumstances are impossible to conquer?  

Logan – Always. There is no separation from Skyla that can ever keep us apart. Our lives were meant to be together, I can feel it. Our love is pure, it’s right—this is our story. 

AM- Will you get your happy ending?

Logan- Yes. I will grab destiny by the reins and drag it there myself if I have to. 

AM- Sounds like a battle cry.

Logan- It should. It’s going to take a war to get there. 

***Logan...Logan....Logan I'm not sure what to do with him! That was a Fantastic Interview though!

Thank you so much to Logan and Addison for taking the time to do that for us! Logan is one of my Fave guys and well i will discuss more about him as the week goes on...

Review

Wow! that is exactly how I felt when I got done with Tremble. There is a lot going on in this second book but, the author doesn't make it so that you can't keep up. The story line flows so well that you can tell whats going on and where. You get to delve deeper into this world and it's a great thing.  This is where I start to question... Everything and Everyone!

Skyla... I feel for her through out this one. She loves Logan, cares for Gage has to hide her relationship with Logan for her safety...and it all just spirals out of control for all involved. I really did enjoy reading how she felt and dealt with all the drama, emotions, and family throughout. She is put through some tough crap but keeps moving forward.

Gage... I really do love this boy. He is nothing but there for Skyla. You can tell by his actions and words that he is truly in love with her. Even though he knows her going out with him is all an act...he really feels for her and lets her know it. He also lets her know that he will give her time to work out how she feels. *sigh*

Logan... Ok I know he started rubbing me the wrong way in book one, well this one trumps that. I couldn't decide if he's just a really REALLY great actor or if he really is that big of an ass.  In "public" he all but destroys Skyla' feelings, then turns around and Loves her in private. I get the whole we can't be together...He just took it to a whole new level. This is about the time I want to see someone just Kick His ass, repeatedly :) but I still love him. I know it makes no sense but there it is.

Marshall is a new character and well... gah I'm not exactly sure what to make of him. Ok I don't like him at all. He is entertaining though :) I just know he is going to cause major trouble for all involved.

Chloe is well...I'm not sure. I think she is really sad about the way things are, but i cannot get a good feeling from her. I like that she is showing Skyla things about herself that the boys won't help her with. Then it's like bam I'm not sure if this is a good thing.

Just a side note... Skyla's family is just WOW... Tad is the biggest A-hole in the world and her sisters are giggly preteen girls and her stepbrother is the most normal calm one other than Skyla.
