LIES BENEATH (from Goodreads)
Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy.
But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistible good looks and charm on unsuspecting girls.
Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.
Lol fun Post!!! But eReaders are not soulless ;( I am pretty sure my Kindle got a soul the minute I gave it a name! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday :))
Oh, well, if it has a name than that's okay! ; )
DeleteI love this post idea -- it's so quick and hilarious! My favourite is the response to Green Thumb because I'm a recent Avengers fan and The Hulk is AWESOME ;) That, and how you thought of Lake Superior first since I'm a very patriotic Canadian girl, even though it's also half in the US too LOL... x)

ReplyDelete:) I always loved playing this game when I was a camp! It's so fun!!! I really liked the words Jenny choose and Anne's responses! Especially hot chocolate meaning skiing! Here's one I have : beach=
ReplyDeleteHaha great fun post. Love that everyone's answer's would be different.
ReplyDeleteLol, the Darcy one was the best :)

ReplyDeleteHaha! What a fun post, Jenny & Anne! I love Anne's answers. They're funny and cute. :) I think there should definitely be more of these types of posts! They're quick to read and entertaining. Thanks for sharing, girls! <3
ReplyDeleteI have not have the time to read this book but I must. I love th stiletios comment!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love Anne of Green Gables!
ReplyDeleteI could never wear stilettos. I'm so clumsy I'm pretty sure I'd fall. My heels have to be thick.
Oh I love word associations! This one was fun! I love the Hot Chocolate-Skiing one and I always think of Naked David when I think of Michelangelo. What a fun post Jenny! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting word associations! Good idea Jenny! Like it!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Haha! Stiletto - Not in this Lifetime! I'm so on board with that. Word Association is so much fun. I love it. My sister and I can do this thing where I say a word and she knows exactly what I'm thinking. We scare people. LOL Of course, that has nothing to do with word association, but it made me think of it.
ReplyDelete<3 Mr. Darcy too! And Anne of Green Gables as the first heroine to come to mind? Perhaps one of the most unique ones I have heard- usually I hear things like Tris or Clary.
