Stuck in Y.A. Books

Hey everyone! Here is my interview with Miranda Kenneally as a guest post! Big Thank you to Giselle @ Xpresso Reads Book Tours! Did you base any of the characters  on people  in your life in Things I Can't Forget? I did not, but I will admit that I stole Matt’s appearance from a very c ute frat guy I knew in college! . Fa vorite character to write about ? My favorite all-time character to write about is Sam Henry. I myself never know when he’s going to show up or what he’s going to do in any of my books. There’s a scene in STEALING PARKER where they’re on the bus and Sam Henry starts talking about a very inappropriate object he found in the school parking lot. I’ll give you a hint – it is like “Bilbo” only with Ds. Anyhow,  when Sam announced   this when I was writing  (I didn’t plan it), I  emailed  my friend author Trish  Doller  and told  her what  Sam was saying. Trish wrote back, “Why in the world di...

Review I thought this book was AWESOME!!! It is one of my favorite Greek mythology books. I practically finished it in one day:) My expectations were really high, and Carter did it beautifully and exceeded beyond it. I have always loved talking about Greek Gods and Goddess, its one of those cool subjects in history. From beginning to end you have to root for Kate to pass those 7 tests throughout the entire novel. The ending was really good and some of the scenes were surprising, I was in shock! But with that ending it was amazing. I loved the part where Henry gives Kate a dog (Pogo) because that scene was sooo cute, and also when they kiss for the first time! Kate was an easier character to like because she was a normal teenager, but she focused on her mother because she was dying, waiting for her to pass. But Kate is handed a somewhat miracle of meeting Henry when he saves Kate's friend Ava. Henry is Hades, but in The Goddess Test he is the perfect gentlemen, who would protec...
