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.

  2. I 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)

  5. Hot chocolate = Delicious! I'm obsessed with fine hot chocolate. I go around the world looking for it. I tried it in three places in NYC, although one was frozen hot chocolate. Yum.

    Mimi - Kaidan! Jace! Ben! Dimitri! Zachary! Ash! I could go on for a while and it could get embarrassing so I'll just stop there:)

  22. Aw, I love Anne of Green Gables!

    I could never wear stilettos. I'm so clumsy I'm pretty sure I'd fall. My heels have to be thick.

  25. 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.

  26. <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.
