Today I'm hugely excited to be a part of the promotional tour for The Originals: The Rise, a book which includes three never-before-released prequel stories featuring The Original vampire family. For those of you who don't know, The Originals is a spin-off of the hit TV show The Vampire Diaries, and die-hard vampire lover that I am, a show I can't wait to binge watch. Following the tour has further ratcheted up my anticipation of meeting the members of this family and getting their story from the very beginning, but I have to admit that Klaus is of particular interest to me. It couldn't have worked out better then that today's teaser quote just happened to be from him:

THE ORIGINALS: THE RISE
(releases January 27th from Harlequin)
(releases January 27th from Harlequin)
Family is power. The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when you're immortal, promises are hard to keep.
Arriving in New Orleans in 1722, Original vampire siblings Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson believe they've escaped their dangerous past. But the city is lawless, a haven for witches and werewolves unwilling to share territory. The siblings are at their mercy…especially after Klaus meets the beautiful and mysterious Vivianne. Her impending marriage is key to ending the war between the supernatural factions—and Klaus's attraction to her could destroy the uneasy alliance. As Elijah works toward securing a piece of the city for his family, and Rebekah fights her unexpected feelings for a French captain, will Klaus's volatile desires bring their world crashing down—and tear them apart for good?

DeleteLOL, Jenny! Well, yeah, he is so obviously talking to you. I haven't started watching the 2nd season yet, but I'll probably binge soon.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? We're practically in love Klaus and I ;-)
DeleteIts pretty cool that this series has been turned into a book! I still need to start watching--I hear it's pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteME TOO!!! I feel an Originals binge watch coming on. I can't wait:)
Delete"I can't say I know to whom he's currently speaking, but in my imagination it's me (obviously) and this is his way of professing his undying love."
ReplyDeleteHaha! Oh, Jenny, you always crack me up! This tour has made me very curious about Klaus too. I haven't watched the show yet, but he sounds yummy! I'll have to check it out for sure.
Thanks for sharing! :)
I try ;-) I'm looking forward to meeting him since he's clearly a fan of me already.
Deletewow, i really loved the TV show not sure I should read the book but I will add it to my TBR anyway, never know when I will decied that I need to read it :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you give it a try Alreem!
DeleteIs it weird that I only recently connected the dots between The Originals, and The Vampire Diaries? I was a little slow on the uptake there! I still need to get caught-up on the former before diving into the latter mind you. All in good time!
ReplyDeleteCarmel @ Rabid Reads
Things like that happen to me all the time Carmel. "Slow on the uptake' is practically my middle name :)
DeleteOh yeah, it's like that teaser was MADE for you! lol. Thank you so much for hosting a tour stop Jenny!
ReplyDeleteRIGHT? I'm irresistible, even fictional men can't help but profess their love ;-)
DeleteThanks for sharing this Jenny, it really does look like it would be a good one and I just love the TV series.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Ali! I'm excited to dive into this world, it's been a while since I've read/watch TVD:)
DeleteLol. Yes Jenny - that is a teaser we can all wish is meant for us readers alone! Thanks for sharing the teaser and chance to win some fabulous prizes!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Klaus and I were meant to be ;-)
DeleteOh Klaus - he's the most charismatic homicidal maniac I know. :-) I prefer to think all these swoonworthy Klaus teasers are aimed at me too!
ReplyDeleteOh, is he homicidal? Hm. That puts a bit of a damper on our love, but I'm sure we can work around it ;-)
DeleteKlaus! I love to hate/love him! LOL I think he is my fave of the siblings.
ReplyDeleteI've already laid claim Melissa, move along, move along ;-)
DeleteWell, now that's an amazing teaser for sure! Thank you for sharing Jenny!
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. Welcome. Klaus for the win:)
DeleteHee, I haven't started watching The Originals yet either, but I have a definite idea of who Klaus is and why you would be swooning :) After having been pleased with a number of books written by tv writers turned authors, I have faith that this one will turn out well!
ReplyDeleteI gave up on TVD after a few seasons but I liked Klaus and especially Elijah. I haven't watched The Originals yet, but when I saw the trailer for it, I thought it looked interesting. Too bad I don't have the time for watching TV shows right now; I'll probably binge watch it over the summer though if I get hooked.
