ReAwakened Blog Tour - Review, Character Interview + Giveaway!

Thanks to Evie @ Bookish for this amazing banner!


ReAwakened by Ada Adams (Angel Creek #2)
Publication Date: November 27, 2012
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.

REVIEW:
ReAwakened begins two weeks after the ending of ReVamped and the stakes are even higher than before. We’re back with our beloved heroine, Dawn, along with all the misfits. There’s also a good helping of Sebastian and a bunch of new characters that will either make you swoon or make you want to pull your hair out. Ada Adams really brings ReAwakened to a whole other level with more romance, action, and surprises you’ll just never expect! Angel Creek fans are in for a roller coaster ride that will have your heart racing!

Character Interview with Razor:
Ada: Hey, Jessirae! As promised, I’ve delivered Razor over for an interview. I hope you guys have fun! *turns to Razor* And behave. (Actually, knowing your “slight” infatuation with him, that should probably be aimed at both of you.) ;)

Hey Razor! I’m super duper thrilled to have you here on my blog. You don’t even know how much I adore you <3 
- Hey, Jessirae. Thanks for having me!

- Hey, you’re shaking. Are you cold? Here…*takes off his leather jacket and wraps it around Jessirae’s shoulders*

*sigh* Just know you won't get this jacket back, Razor. *winks* 

Anyway, I just want to ask you a few harmless questions.
- Harmless? Come on now, where’s the fun in that? *winks*


Describe yourself in one word. 
- “Multilayered”—there are just way too many layers to this vampy Tootsy Pop.

Really? Maybe I can strip those layers.. wait, that didn't come out right.. ;)

Ok so, what’s the best thing about being a vampire?

- Our bodies are more resilient than that of humans, so it makes extreme sports pretty exciting. Other things involving the body tend to be more exciting as well, but Ada warned that I have to behave, so we’ll leave that to your imagination…

*fans self* *tries to think other thoughts* *imagination runs wild*


What was your first impression of Dawn? 
- 
My first impression of Dawn? *chuckles* Feisty. I’m pretty sure those were the first words out of my mouth upon meeting her. Yeah, sure, I can’t deny that I hadn’t immediately noticed the fact that she’s hot as hell, but the reason I was drawn to her had little to do with her looks and more to do with her personality. I tease her about her perseverance and constant need to save everyone and fix everything, but I really admire her strength and drive. She’s a very special girl.


If you could travel anywhere in world, where would you go and who would you take?
- When I was turned, my entire world revolved around living in the moment and not stopping to think about anything. Lately, I’d really been wanting to take a breather from all that and travel the world to some beautiful, remote places, far off the well-traversed path. I suppose I’d have to drag Sebastian along, but I’m assuming he’d bring Dawn, so it wouldn’t be so bad. 



Craziest thing you’ve ever done?
- Craziest thing I’ve ever done? Fall in love.
And I’ve done some pretty crazy things in my life…



*smiles* You could maybe I don't know, *coughfallinlovewithmecough*

Lets talk misfits. Who is your favorite misfit and why?
- I like them all, but I’m kinda gunning for Brooke and Seth to stop torturing us and just get it on. I really need to give that guy some pointers. And, uhh, by “get it on”, I mean “finally admit they like each other”. See, Ada? I’m behaving.



I hear you! Those two just need to get together already! 

What do you do in your spare time besides annoy Dawn to death?
- Annoying Dawn is a full-time job. One that I enjoy greatly. I don’t have one specific hobby, if that’s what you mean. I get bored easily, so I like to keep things interesting. Both my brother and I are into extreme sports, but he’s more a winter sports kind of guy, whereas I prefer heat and water. I also like to keep up on the latest medical advances, so I spend a lot of time reading. Reading is sexy. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

You read?! *sigh* Can you seriously get any more perfect?


Dawn and Sebastian. What do you think of their relationship?
- Those two need to be locked in a room for an entire week and have the key thrown away. As you know, I’ve already tried that once with the barn…



*chuckles* *nods head*

If Dawn wasn’t taken, would you go after her? I promise I won’t tell. ;)

- The only reason I’m not going after her is because of the person she is taken by. Any other guy and…well, it would be a very different story.

*crosses arms* *grumbles in jealousy* whispers softly- thank god Dawn's taken. 


Moving on. So you’re smart, funny and very good looking. Is there anything you can’t do?
- You know me, I’ll try anything once. And if I really enjoy it, over and over again.



*swoons* What was that again? Over and over again? I like this. A lot.

I basically worship the ground you walk on... sort of. So…you and me, what do you think? lol ;)

- A few months ago I would have invited you over to my place to play doctor. [Ada edited out the next part because it was way too descriptive—sorry for the block, Jessirae!] But ever since I arrived in Angel Creek, things haven’t been the same. I don’t know what it is…I’m no longer interested in being with just any girl, you know? Not that you’re “any girl”, J. You’re a very lovely girl—one that deserves a guy who worships the ground that you walk on.

You're right. I'm not just any girl and someday I'm going to win you over. *grins mischievously* 

This or that:

Day or Night? - Night. You can get away with a lot more…


Summer or Winter? - Summer. Lack of clothing suits me.

 mutters- Hah, just the way I like you. 

The forest or the beach? - The beach. See above. *winks*

A night inside or a day outdoors? - I guess it depends on what I’m doing. Both can be a lot of fun in their own ways. I’ll leave you to infer whatever you wish from that.

Ah, yes. We could.. never mind.

Boxers or Briefs? - A gentleman never tells. Though I do have a question for those gentlemen: “Why bother with either?”
That’s it! Thanks oh so much for answering my questions Razor! I hope I didn’t come on too strong ;)
- You’re very welcome. Don’t worry about it—I like a girl who speaks her mind.

*blushes* 

Thanks so much Ada for allowing me to chat with Razor. It has been pleasurable! ;)
 Now guys and gals, I've already staked my claim and it's been established forever ago that Raze. Razor, my love, is in fact.. mine. So back the bleep up. *laughs*

REVIEW: ReAwakened by Ada Adams

Title: ReAwakened (Angel Creek #2)
Author: Ada Adams - Website | Twitter | Facebook
Publication Date: November 27, 2012
Format: e-ARC* 520 pages
Rating: 5/5 - but really should have one million ;)

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.

ReAwakened Blog Tour!
Dawn is still that strong, courageous and brave girl I absolutely loved in the first book. In ReAwakened, we definitely see another side of her. A side that is vulnerable and shows weaknesses that make her real and graspable. She grows for the better because even though Dawn is strong in nearly every way, she's not fearless. In ReAwakened, Dawn really tries to hold herself together after everything that has happen and she doesn’t fall a part. Dawn puts her life on the line and sacrifices herself in many situations that anger me, but also made me admire her ten fold. The sheer amount of love she had for her friends is inspiring and goes to show how truly amazing she is. Dawn has always been a good person in and out and she shines here in ReAwakened. This time around Dawn really faces her grief, the truth, and all fears that have been plaguing her for so long. 

The new characters in ReAwakened are a wonderful addition to the series. There are some characters I absolutely loved from the very start and there are some characters I hated with no hesitation. While others grew on me the more I read. Adams does incredible job of placing these characters and having them rock the stability in the story. These characters not only surprised me, but also shocked me beyond belief. There’s even old characters that come back that I never even imagined would create such chaos. Ada Adams also gives more background story with some of the misfits that made me connect with them more. 

Ada Adams continued to impress me with her fabulous writing. I was engrossed and completely taken over by the whole story. It was balanced and it had a perfect story arc complete with a building climax and a resolution with a shocking ending that begged for more. The pacing of the book was just amazing! Each chapter had more build up from the previous one until I hit the explosive revelation. Ada added a lot of elements into ReAwakened that worked well with the story and had me guessing all the time. I never quite knew what going to happen next. Every chapter was unexpected and had my anticipation building. The best part of ReAwakened is Ada’s ability to evoke all kinds of emotions from happiness, to anger, to swooning, to nervousness, to sadness and heartbreak. Whatever emotion you could feel, it’s felt while reading this book and how Ada can do this is just sheer brilliance and true talent. 

Overall, ReAwakened was even better than its predecessor. Any expectations I could have anticipated were blown away. Saying that I enjoyed it is an immense understatement! ReAwakened had a great amount of romance, angst, action, humor, and sadness anyone could hope for. Fans of the Angel Creek series will not be disappointed and be left in complete and utter speechlessness.

ReAwakened by Ada Adams Excerpt!

Did you love ReVamped by Ada Adams? Have you fallen in love with her writing and the world she built in Angel Creek with Dawn? Are you anxiously waiting for the second book in the series to come out? If you answered yes, yes and yes to all these questions, you have come to the right place!

While we are all dying to read ReAwakened, Ada has released an official excerpt! Now I know you want to just scroll down and just want to read the AMAZING excerpt, I'll go ahead and let you guys go. lol x)



“Meeting Razor” - “ReAwakened
Ada Adams
My two-story fall was cushioned by the intruder’s body. He—a vampire, I realized—groaned as I landed on top of him, forcing his body into the muddy ground. I reached for my dagger, but he was quicker. Before I had a chance to pull it out, he slipped out from underneath me, flipping me over so that he was on top. His firm, muscular body pressed tightly against mine as his hands pinned my wrists to either side of my head. His face was covered by shadows, but I could make out a mischievous smirk dancing across perfectly-shaped full lips.
“You’re quite feisty, aren’t you?” he chuckled, bending forward to examine me. Deep, charcoal eyes overflowed with amusement.
He was actually enjoying this.
“I don’t wanna hurt you,” he whispered in a deep, throaty voice. “I’m gonna release you now. Don’t do anything stupid.”
He lifted his arm, removing his right hand from my left wrist. The moment I felt some freedom, I leaped forward, attempting a left hook at his jaw. He blocked my hand, once again pushing it toward the ground.
“I said I wasn’t going to hurt you!” he growled, pinning me even further into the soft, wet earth.
“Yes, but I never said I wouldn’t hurt you,” I snapped.
He brought his face toward mine. “I’d like to see you try,” he whispered.
Challenge accepted.
I raised my head—the only part of my body that wasn't restrained by the stranger’s body—inching my lips closer to his. He tensed for a moment, his eyes searching mine, as if surprised by my sudden change in behavior. Drops of rainwater slid down his chiseled jaw, pausing briefly on his lips before they plummeted onto mine. Then, a slow, smug smile spread across his face. I felt his body relax and he leaned even closer. His breath caressed my skin as his lips drew near.
It was exactly what I needed. Summoning all my strength, I twisted my hips to the side, shooting them up and out, then launching my legs from the ground. Thrown off-balance, my captor groaned and released one of my arms to brace for the fall, giving me the perfect opportunity to reach for my dagger. In one smooth move I darted behind him, placing him in a secure headlock—the blade of my weapon aimed directly at his heart.
“Who are you?” I demanded when I was certain he couldn’t escape my grip.
“I’m a twenty-four-year-old Taurus who enjoys long walks on the beach.” Even though I couldn’t see his face, I could feel his arrogant grin.
“You have ten seconds to explain yourself,” I ordered. “And then I’m really going to hurt you.”
“Oh, come on! Can’t we get back to kissing? You can’t tease a guy like that.”
“Ten, nine…” I pressed the dagger deeper into him, nicking the leather of his jacket.
“Hey! Watch it!”
“Eight…”
“Oh, alright. You’re no fun,” he sighed. “My name is Razor.”
“What kind of a name is that?”
“It’s a nickname.”
“What kind of a nickname is that?”
“Spike, Blade, Fang—all the good, pointy objects were already taken by fictional characters. It was the best I could do.”


****

What do you think? 
Did you guys swoon for Razor like I did? ;)
Please be aware that he is mine and we are very much in love, lol x)
Haha, all right let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 

A simple mission turned deadly.

Remember, this is a relay and we're trying to get the book to each and every one of you while still gaining more readers and spreading the book across the country.

ReVamped Relay- #EthansLegion

ReVamped by Ada Adams


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.

***

I know that purchasing print books can often be costly. I also know that many readers prefer to read print copies vs. electronic ones. Therefore, I devised a fun, interactive, and economical way for readers to get their hands on a print copy of ReVamped!
On May 10th, I will be sending out 5 print copies of ReVamped to five ReVamped Relay Teams, hailing from different corners of the world (Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Asia)!
The teams are headed by five amazing bloggers (see below for their information). These bloggers (who have already read and loved ReVamped – yay!), will be responsible for starting off the ReVamped Relay and passing on the print copy of the book to interested readers. The readers may consist of fellow book bloggers or “civilian” readers.

TEAM FIVE? – (Asia)
I am looking for a dedicated team leader from ANYWHERE in Asia who read and *LOVED* ReVamped to join in on the fun! :D
How can you join the ReVamped Relay? Simply contact the Team Leader closest to you (through Twitter or Email). If you are emailing, please include the team name in the title of the email, so that it doesn’t end up in the spam folder and can be viewed by the right team leader.
 The readers will:
1. Read the book.
2. Post a short review (anywhere!)
Suggested places: Blog, Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
The review could be as short as one or two sentences or longer. You can even Tweet the review and it will count. Just make sure that you save the link.
3. Email the following information to your Team Leader:
Your Name, Location, Review Link. Please ensure that your team name is in the email title!
(ex. Sarah A., Toronto, Canada, www.amazon/twitter/facebook/goodreads/reviewlink.com)
*Why is this part of the relay important? Read the “Prizes” section to find out!
4. Share the book.
It’s up to the reader to choose who to share the book with. This could be a friend or a family member, someone from school, someone in another town, or someone from a completely different corner of the world! Please ensure that this person is interested in reading ReVamped and participating in the relay, so that we can make sure they will also pass on the book. Ideally, the goal is to see how far the book can travel, and how many homes (and hopefully hearts!) it can reach. Do you have to spend money for shipping? No. You can pass it on by hand. If you want to ship, that’s great as well. The Team Leaders can also be responsible for getting people onto a team reading list, so do check in with them.
5. Bonus.
Sign your name and add any comments into the Reader Notebook that will be travelling with the book. Feel free to sign your name in the book as well!
*Please understand that the Team Leaders and I are doing this with the belief that all participants will follow an honor code and pass on the book after reading. This is a fun way to read a book, connect with friends, as well as make new ones along the way, so you need to be an active, enthusiastic, and honest participant for it to work.
Now, for the prizes!
Every month, we will tally up the readers from each of the five teams. This is why it’s important for everyone to sign in after finishing the book. The team with the largest amount of points will be declared that month’s winner!
Point System:
  • 1 point for each group member that signs their name
  • 1 point for each city that the book travels to
  • 2 point for each state/province that the book reaches
  • 3 points for each different country
Example:
A book that makes its way from Toronto, ON to Buffalo, NY to New York, NY and reaches ten readers.
  • 10 members: 10×1=10
  • 3 cities: 3×1=3
  • 2 states/provinces: 2×2=4
  • 2 countries: 2×3=6
  • Total Score: 23
All members from the winning team will be placed in a draw for ReVamped goodies (print copies of the book, posters, bookmarks, etc.) 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will be declared every month. The numbers are re-set after each month, and a new tally starts up, so that every team has an equal chance of winning each month. However, the member names don’t re-set, so if you were part of the Month One team, you still can win during the Month Two or Month Three draws.

*If you’re active on Twitter and participating in the relay, please use the following hashtag: #ReVampedRelay and add in @Ada_Adams (or an @ to your Team Leader). We will be following you and RT-ing along the way! If you’re interested in being a part of the relay once it’s already underway, you can also Tweet @ us and hopefully the book will make its way to you! Come by and join the Facebook Page as well @ www.facebook.com/revampedbook.
If you want to support the relay, without participating (especially if you’ve already read the book), feel free to cheer for a certain team or Tweet about the relay to help spread the word. Every month, I will also be selecting a random non-team member Tweets for a little prize based on their #ReVampedReley Tweets. I love all my readers and allReVamped‘s fans and want to give you the opportunity to also play along.
Just remember, even though this is a contest, it’s all in good fun! The main idea is to get ReVamped out to some readers that may not otherwise have the opportunity to get their hands on it!
Happy reading and relaying! :)
