Descended by Blood Blog Tour: Interview & Giveaway


We're the next stop in the Descended by Blood blog tour, hosted by Confessions of a Bookaholic. Today we have debut author Angeline Kace with us! Here's a little bit about her book:


Published by: Accendo Press
Released on: August 26th, 2011

Brooke Keller's a high school junior who never spent much time living in one place. She's finally in a town long enough to almost snag the boy of her dreams, until her life is threatened by a fanged man in his attempt to kidnap her. Brooke begins a dangerous journey to find out who is after her and how to stop them. Thrown into a world with powerful and prejudiced vampires, Brooke must tap into the side of herself that she never knew existed, at the risk of losing her life in order to save it.


How would you describe your book?

Definitely a young adult book. With Vampires. And hot guys. With a vampire culture that's different from all other vampire books I've read.


Which character surprised you the most in terms of their growth and why?

I would have to say the main character, Brooke, surprised me the most. I knew as I plotted the story and wrote the story that she would have to go through a growth process. But when all was said and done, she came out the other end a completely different person than what I had her as in the beginning. In fact, she was almost too wise and too honest with her feelings to be considered real as a young adult. During the editing process, I had to go through and change some of the things she said and really find out who she was. That really made the editing process daunting for me because you really have to pin down your main character to make her consistent throughout the story. Once I figured out she was a Pieces, we were good to go. ;)


If you could choose one paranormal ability to have, what would you choose and why?

This may sound completely cliché, but I would choose the ability to heal. My heart and soul hurt so deeply when I see others sick. Especially with a deadly disease or with children who are sick. And when I see that, I wish for nothing more than to take away their pain.

But on a lighter note, the second ability I would choose would be to have the second power Brooke realizes she has. And to know which one that is, you'll just have to read the book! Bwuahaha!


What is one 2011 YA book you're looking forward to reading?

I know some of you might disown me when you read this, but I have REALLY wanted to read the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. I know. I haven't read them yet. Gasp!

Before I started writing seriously, I used to read 2-3 books a week, but since writing takes up so much of my time now (and that's after working full time and going to school), I don't have as much time to read as I'd like. I'll get to them, though. I promise.


What is one YA book you wish you had as a teen?

I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say Twilight. When I was a teen, I only read enough of a book to get by on book reports. So, when I read Twilight, something opened up in mind. New worlds were possible now, and emotions and experiences could be lived through in days instead of drawn out over years. Reading is truly a magical experience, and once I read the Twilight series, I was an addict for books. I only wish I had been touched by that magic sooner.
