As part of the Lies Beneath promotional tour hosted by The Teen Book Scene, I'd like to welcome Calder to the blog today. I sent Calder a few words and asked him what was the first thing that came to his mind. I will say that I'm definitely curious about his answers and I'm sure there's a story lurking there somewhere. I hope you enjoy!

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 irresistable
good looks and charm on ususpecting 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. (Cover and description courtesy of Goodreads)

Revenge and Maris so go together!
Revenge! Oh that one is spot on. I really liked his sister. :)
The word associations are one of my favorite types of tour stops, I think it's so much fun to see what pops into peoples' heads! The betrayal/unavoidable one makes me sad for Calder:(
I understand them all but the foreign movies, but maybe I missed something when I read the book! Yes, it's an interesting book, not what I expected, but I enjoyed it. My review is up tomorrow. Good words to send him!

It's amazing how much a couple words reveals about a person or a book. I actually feel like I got quite a lot from that little bit! I look forward to reading this one one of these days.
Happiness-Pink. Strange answer for a guy, but cool. :D
