Q&A with Tessa Dawn discussion

For those who like to talk "details" :-)
What did you like the most?
What scared you the most?
What made you laugh the loudest (or cry the hardest)?
What made you say, "O...M...G!"

Warning: SPOILER ALERTS in this category! Book Details will be revealed :-) :-) :-)

Ok, so let's see.

What did you like the most? I have to say the reunion with Shelby. That just tore at my heart. I loved everything about that scene. I was thinking after Shelby saw Marquis' son, oh he won't be able to meet Storm and then Jocelyn came in with the baby. That was so perfect. It sounds like we'll hear from him again, maybe in Nachari's book. No pressure, LOL.

What scared you the most? Hmmm, I was nervous when Marquis' and all where searching for Ciopori. Underground tunnels, very creepy. Oh and the snakes in the "pleasure" chamber. Ouch.

What made you laugh the loudest (or cry the hardest)?
Well, cry that's easy when Shelby returned and left.
I laughed a lot too. When Kristina called Nachari young and sexy. I loved Marquis' reaction. I also loved the dialogue between Nathaniel and Jocelyn and the sex talk between Nachari and Braden.

What made you say, "O...M...G!" When they killed the babies in the nursery. Even though they were dark ones and of course they had to do it the thought of cute little babies in their cribs getting slaughtered did make me cringe.

Thanks, Christina...
As the author, the "emotional moments" are severely drawn out in the process of writing ;-). For me...
Like the most? The scene with the bikers & Marquis.
Scared me the most? The chamber of Cobras (I HATE snakes!!! lol)
Made me laugh the loudest? When Marquis threw Nachari's phone & when Jocelyn interrupted Nathaniel's macho rant to Ciopori.
Cry the hardest? Shelby!!! (and also the scene when Marquis confronted/healed Kristina after they were no longer mated)
Made me say, "O.M.G!" ? The Dark One's Council Meeting when they assassinated the leader.

I love that everyone sees the book differently -- and gets something different out of it! :-)

Those are all great scenes too. When Marquis showed Kristina her soul, that was simply beautiful.

What did I like the most? When Nachari revealed to Marquis that Ciopori really was his destiny.
Scared me the most? Finding out that the Dark Ones have a whole colony underground.
Made me laugh the loudest? Jocelyn and Nathaniel, that was awesome. Also, when Branden was talking to Nachari and asked "did you go all the way?" and Nachari answered "all the way where?"
Cry the hardest? Definitely when Shelby had his reunion with his brothers.
Made me say "O.M.G.!"? When our good buddy Salvatore was placed into submission (need I say more?) Yowza!!.

It is truly hard to come up with just a few favorites because I loved it all so much. I want to be a Silivasi!

What I liked the most:
My favorite scene was when Shelby came back to visit his brothers. The loss of Shelby has been the most difficult obstacle for all of the brothers to overcome. But it was most difficult for Marquis. Being the eldest brother, and due to the loss of his father, Marquis was very much a parental figure to his brothers. He felt very responsible for Shelby's death. It was such a gift to them to be able to see Shelby once more, and to get the closure that was well needed. I love that Tessa doesn't drop any topics, because I felt that this was a very important one. The fact that nothing gets dropped is what makes the story seems so real, and the characters so well-rounded. I love that we got to meet Shelby. I really really hope we see him again through Nachari. I am so happy that it is a possibility. I just love Shelby.
What scared me the most:
Two things scared me the most: It is not related to what happened in the dark one's cave, although I really really hate snakes, and they did scare the crap out of me. However, what scared me the most is that I really thought Marquis was going to get stuck with Kristina. I wanted him to be happy because he suffered so much: losing Shelby and living with the guilt, having to wait the longest to get a destiny, and being born alone without a twin. Plus he had to act as a father figure for his younger brothers. I really wanted him to get his well-deserved HEA.

The second thing that scared me the most was when Marquis went to the sacrifice chamber to turn in his evil son. I was so afraid when he couldn't say those words!!!! I was at the edge of my seat, biting my nails, saying out loud GET THE WORDS OUT OF HIM PLEASE, to Nathaniel!!! I was so afraid that the evil thing would take Marquis away. I really thought he would die at the end of the book. I love that it was not predictable. I was so blind-sided, and pleasantly relieved when Shelby showed up to save the day! Whew!

What made me laugh the hardest:
I just loved when Kristina said "let's just do it." I know that I have said this in other posts, and I am repeating myself, BUT I really love that scene. I could picture the look of frustration on Marquis' face when he answered "Do what Kristina?" sarcastically, but really knowing what she meant. And he thought to himself, what did he do to deserve this punishment, (having her as a destiny)and was there any other way he could make up for it. That was a cute scene. I laughed out loud. IT was really funny to me because Marquis is the oldest. He is very mature and responsible. He has no bubbly bone in his body, and he has this young, adolescent, immature destiny who wasn't even capable of seducing him properly. I loved the dialogue between Marquis and Kristina. There were many scenes that had me laughing like an idiot in public. I also loved when Kristina called Nachari "young and sexy." Marquis' reaction was priceless.
What made me say O M G:
The baby massacre!!! It was justified, but I still thought OMG they actually did it!!!

sorry for writing too much!!! Ugh! I just got a little excited there :)

Thanks, Angela! I really love reading your insights :)

Thank you Tessa! I am usually too insecure to post, but when it's time to talk about your books, all that goes out the window! I like the format that you created on this thread. It made it easier for me to babble. Maybe it would help me to write a review.

Angela, I think your posts are awesome! I can tell just by what you write how much you love these books and the characters in them. I really enjoy reading what you have to say :) it makes me smile every time.

What did I like the most is what I will complain about the most! I could never be sure what would happen. Example I was thrown for a loop when it was declared that Kristina was Marquis's destiny. I guess that makes it my OMG moment also lol.
What made me cry the most, Shelby with his brothers. What scared me the most, I was scared that Marquis was NOT going to be able to say the words! My other OMG moment was when the Dark Ones killed the head of the council and then the Punishment handed down!! Funny moment was of course Nachari with Branden.
One of the most touching moments was when Marquis showed Kristina her true soul....sniff

Thank you Carrie! I'm glad. I love the books :)

ok, I have to add one other Laugh out loud moment..Braden trying to be cool with Nachari and busting out the dance move that almost made him fall over! Ah, fifteen year olds :) I am chuckling just thinking about it.

OMG....that entire conversation was hilarious. I could just picture Braden walking in with his new makeover, spikey hair, and his new lingo. LOL, Nachari has his hands full. But it was so sweet how he made Braden feel better when he was feeling inadequate about still feeding off of Nachari and his step dad.

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while but just thought to add that I loved when Napolean tripped over the furniture after seeing the princess and also when he could hear Nachari's thoughts. Cracked me up.

Hi Sarah,
I love Napolean lol. That part was hilarious! I can't wait for his book.
