Ghost of a Chance Character Interview!

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the novel, Ghost of a Chance (One Night Stand #44), by Deena Remiel (you can read my review here). This book has been so popular with the readers, the lovely Deena has agreed to let me interview Secoya!!

This was a lot of fun for many reasons. For those of you who have read the book, and those who have not, Secoya was the voodoo loving friend who put the curse of Remy, turning him into a literal ghost of a man. This is a chance for us to see what Secoya was thinking when she performed the curse (and maybe even why!). Here is my interview with Secoya:

[We are here with a very nervous Secoya, friend of Tracy, Remy's ex-wife. She dabbles in voodoo and was the one to place the curse on him.]

Destiny: Nice to meet you Secoya! If you don't mind my asking, how did you become involved in voodoo and the "dark arts"?

Secoya: Hi Destiny. (Sits down on the edge of a seat.) I'm a bit nervous being here, but I figured I owed it to Remy, you know? Well, my mother is the one who got me started in it all. She's a Voodoo Priestess. I can tell you , she's gonna be downright pissed at me for doing what I did. I've never told her anything about what Tracy and I did. Guess she's gonna find out now...

Destiny: There's nothing to be nervous about Secoya! Well, except maybe your mom finding out about the curse...that might make me nervous too. What were you thinking when Tracy wanted to get back at Remy? Just wanting to help your friend?
Secoya: What was I thinking? (Eases back in her seat.) Well, at the time, I was so angry at Remy, maybe as angry as Tracy, for how neglectful he was to her while they were married. Even after the divorce, she went on and on about how he was never home and loved his company more than he loved her. I remember her saying no amount of money could make up for the way he dropped out of their marriage before it really ever began. So I thought, what a shmuck! I thought I could do something to help ease her pain. After all, she was my best friend.

Destiny: Oh I understand!! I can't imagine how I would feel if I were in your shoes and my best friend was hurt. How are you and Tracy doing now?

Secoya: We're sort of on the outs right now. I had to cool off our friendship. I tell ya, that woman is pure evil! It was one thing to put a curse on the man, but when he came back a few years later and asked her to remove the curse, she refused. He said he learned his lesson. She was dubious. I was, too. But I decided to give him a hint as to how to remove the curse. I wouldn't dare remove it myself. I'm afraid of what Tracy would do to me. (Shifts nervously in seat.)

Destiny: She sounds like one scary lady!! I would definitely take a break from her myself! All things considered, I have to know - are you still practicing voodoo or has this whole experience made you a little magic shy?

Secoya: In all honesty, I have done more curses since doing his.

Destiny: Oh I am very intrigued! Did they have better results than Remy's? Or are you keeping hush hush about them?

Secoya: They all got what they deserved. Let's leave it at that. (sniffs uncomfortably)

Destiny: Thank you so much for joining us Secoya! I wish you all the best and hope to hear more about you soon.

And a HUGE THANK YOU to author Deena Remiel for making this interview possible and for having written such an amazing story!

WOW!! If that doesn't have you intrigued to read Ghost of a Chance, I don't know what will!

Genre: Adult Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

Drowning in grief over the loss of her husband years ago, she initially immersed herself in a high-powered position at her marketing firm. But recently, she’s lost that loving feeling.

Cursed by a vengeful ex-wife he neglected, he’s relegated to shadows of his former world. She meant for him to spend the rest of his life without the chance of normalcy ever again, and he believed she succeeded. But could there be a way out? Susannah and Remy, two people ghosting through life, until they are brought together by a fateful One Night Stand. Both are seeking re-entry to the land of the living and loving. Can they fulfill each other’s deepest desires and learn what it means to live again?

Review:

Deena Remiel wrote another winning read with Ghost of a Chance!! The story is centered around Susannah, a young widow who decides to jet off to Vegas for the weekend and indulge in a one-night stand. To do so, she enlists the help of matchmaker Madame Evangeline, who pairs her with Remy Charles, who has been cursed by his ex-wife and her voodoo loving friend to be a ghost of a man until he can find love.

This was a rather short book, but Deena Remiel made the most of each page. The first line drew me in and I literally read the book in one sitting. The characters were incredibly likeable and easy to relate to and I found myself rooting for them to find a way to break the curse so they could find love!

As a part of Decadent Publishing's One Night Stand series, this book is a little heavy on the romance and is quite sensual at times. Deena Remiel writes those scenes in a way that will make any woman swoon and want the same for herself!!

Deena Remiel's writing is once again spectacular, the plot is unique, well-executed, and this is a book I would highly recommend to any lover of paranormal romance!

Rate: 5/5

Guest Review: Trinity (Brethren, #1) by Deena Remiel

Format: Kindle ebook
Published: March 20, 2011
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Genre: Adult Fantasy, Paranormal

Description:
One way or another, terror will reign tonight...

School teacher and single mom, Emma Livingston, has been through hell—and back so she thinks. While dealing with the night terrors and active imagination of her five-year old daughter, Hannah, she attempts to lead a normal life. That is, until the demon from those nightmares pays her a visit, too, and threatens both of their lives. Desperate, she reaches out for help—and finds Michael waiting.

Michael D’Angelo is known to everyone in Prophet’s Point, Arizona, as their loving elementary school principal. But to The Brethren, he is the most powerful Protector. Immortal and angelic does not mean he’s without doubts or fears, as protecting Emma and Hannah from Evil tests his ability to fight his tortured past.

As the Trinity is formed, ancient secrets are revealed and faith is tested. When a prophecy is exposed, Hannah becomes the main target and Emma wonders if a normal life will ever be possible again. Hope is like an anchor, but can a mother, her daughter, and an angel overcome the evil determined to annihilate the world?

Review: 
Deena Remiel weaves an interesting tale revolving around the ultimate battle of good versus evil. In this novel, we are introduced to the three main characters, Emma, Hannah, and Michael; however, unlike most authors, Remiel does not give in depth histories of each person at the beginning of the story. Instead she opts to let the readers get to know her characters as the plot progresses which really builds suspense and seems to let the characters tell the story themselves. The mother, Emma has to face the harsh reality that her daughter is about to fulfill an ancient prophecy, angels do exist, and she may be in love with the angel? Or is she losing her mind? These are the questions she asks herself and we get to follow along on the adventure.

The novel starts off with a bang with an amazing prologue explaining the prophecies of good and evil and transitions us into the story. Deena Remiel's take on the "Trinity" is a brilliant and ingenious new spin on the formation and revelation of the battle of good and evil. The suspense never falls short and the dialogue is very well-written. Fans of J.R. Ward's Fallen Angels' and Black Dagger Brotherhood series will fall in love with this series as will any lover of paranormal romance!

The supporting Fallen Angels characters are also very well set up for another novel and I am eagerly awaiting another installment. Deena Remiel is definitely an author to watch!!
