Angels Vs. Demons Blog Hop 6/28-7/1

Why do we love extremes in the characters of the books we read? Good vs. Evil? Angels vs. Demons? And when love is involved...? Oooo, what mouth watering prospects! Even more intriguing is why we love when extremely good characters rock out a little bad (like Lassiter in the BDB) and when bad characters harbor a heart of gold under that nasty exterior. Angels become demons and demons become angels, as it were. And readers LOVE it! Which might be why the protagonist of my debut novel, Rise of the Fallen, has become so popular. Micah Black is a deeply troubled vampire at the beginning of the book, hellbent on death and destruction. But he's only so raw and vapid because he is innately a good guy who wants nothing more than to be happy and live the life he was meant to. Personal tragedy led him to his fall from grace, and poor Micah can't recover. If Micah can just find that one thing - or person, as the case may be - who can give him hope again, he can rise from the depths of Hell, his inner angel resuscitated. If he can't, he won't survive.

If you love tragic characters and good vs. evil, make sure to check out Rise of the Fallen, which is book one of my All the King's Men series.

In the meantime, why not hop over to the other blogs on this blog hop (links are below) and see what everyone else has to say about angels and demons. And before you go, make sure to leave a comment via my rafflecopter about which you prefer, angels or demons, and why?

  35. I love them both, but if I had to chose, I'd be Team Demon -- Demons are the ultimate bad boys, and I have a major "thing" for bad boys!

  38. Even though I like angels I prefer demons because no matter how bad they are you can't help but love them.

  39. I choose angels simply because I feel like it'd be bad luck to choose demons, haha. Thanks for participating in the hop! emily joy drake at gmail dot com

  40. I'm always drawn to dark and tortured characters so I would snuggle up with a demon.

  41. In general, I prefer demons, but when it comes to cuddling Angels would be better because demons would get distracted. The one exception might be Jim from the Aisling Grey series by Katie MacAlister as he is in the form of a Newfoundland and could be a giant pillow ;)

  45. Thank you for participating in this fun hop! I think this is a hard choice; snugging with the demon might be a little too much sulfur and the angel's wings might tickle my nose LOL Today I am choosing Angels.
