In the English society of 1768 where women are bred to marry, unattractive Alexia, just sixteen, believes she will end up alone. But on the county doorstep of a neighbor’s estate, she meets a man straight out of her nightmares, one whose blue eyes threaten to consume her whole world—especially when she discovers him standing over her murdered host in the middle of the night.
Her nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.
This one really sounds exciting and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in with it.
To celebrate the occasion (and why not?), Crystal has one question she'd love to know the answer to ...
If you lived in a society where arranged marriages were a la mode, whom would you beg your parents to set you up with? Why? (Literary characters and celebrities welcomed.)
I love this question and it's really taken some thought, but in the end I've gone for ...

Funny, that guy resembled my husband roughly 20 years ago... :D
ReplyDeleteOoh, lucky you. A bit of time travel going on there maybe ...
DeleteOh my goodness--you're totally right. He'd be the perfect match if you want to shoot through time and space. I'm pretty happy with the here and now, plus I get motion sickness...though I would fancy a little bit of time travel...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's probably something on the TARDIS to help with motion sickness. I must admit, too much spinning would send my head funny :-)
DeleteNo, you needn't say more. David Tennant is my Doctor too. *swoons* (Just don't let River know or else we'd be in trouble!)
ReplyDeleteHe he, our secret is safe. I'm intrigued to see what Peter Capaldi is going to do with it ...
DeleteWhat a great choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Heather
Thanks Heather, and thanks for dropping by.
DeleteA marriage life of space and time travel would be great. :D
ReplyDeleteIt'd certainly keep it interesting!
DeleteTime travel--now that would be cool! : )

And I bet the TARDIS is far more comfortable than the DeLorean :-)
DeleteYes. I could marry him. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou have good taste, Ellie.
DeleteHe's pretty darn cute.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie Junebug
I can only agree with you there ...
DeleteThanks for dropping by.
Ha! Adventures through time and space with a handsome guy does sound grand. And he's wearing a cool suit too.
ReplyDeleteReally, I can't see anything wrong with this scenario ...
DeleteFantastic choice.... He's a great character ....
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you HJ... new follower here. Glad you joined in on the fest! Co-hosting with Crystal!
Thanks for stopping by Michael. This fest has been fun, and thanks for following :-)
DeleteLovely choice! New adventures are always a plus :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd guaranteed to keep everything fresh!
DeleteI've never seen an episode of any Dr. Who. I know, I know . . . Anyway, wanted to say I love you're "what I'm reading" widget - I need to remember to do that (and figure out how!).
ReplyDeleteerica
Thanks for stopping by Erica, and I won't hold the Doctor Who thing against you ;-)
DeleteThe widget is part of the Blogger options, I just use the 'Image' option to link to the relevant Goodreads page.
an adventurous time traveling guy? great pick!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy, for me he's definitely the best one :-)
DeleteHa, having adventures would surely be worth it :)
ReplyDelete......dhole
We need some adventures in our lives I think ...
DeleteI'm probably the only person in the planet who hasn't watched most Tennant Dr. Who episodes (or any, for that matter, since the 80s).
