Blog Tour: Emerge by Tobie Easton

Emerge (Mer Chronicles #1) by Tobie EastonPublication Date: April 19, 2016Publisher: Month9Books

Lia Nautilus may be a Mermaid, but she’s never lived in the ocean. Ever since the infamous Little Mermaid unleashed a curse that stripped Mer of their immortality, war has ravaged the Seven Seas.
So Lia has grown up in a secret community of land-dwelling Mer hidden among Malibu’s seaside mansions. Her biggest problems are surviving P.E. and keeping her feelings for Clay Ericson in check. Sure, he’s gorgeous in that cocky, leather jacket sort of way and makes her feel like there’s a school of fish swimming in her stomach, but getting involved with a human could put Lia's entire community at risk. So it’s for the best that he’s dating that new girl, right?
That is, until Lia finds out she isn't the only one at school keeping a potentially deadly secret. And this new girl? Her eyes are dead set on Clay, who doesn't realize the danger he's in. If Lia hopes to save him, she’ll have to get closer to Clay than ever. Lia’s parents would totally flip if they found out she was falling for a human boy, but the more time she spends with Clay, the harder it is for Lia to deny her feelings.After making a horrible mistake, Lia will risk everything to stop Clay from falling in love with the wrong girl.

Author's favorite character and why they are the favorite.
[image error]This question is, by far, the hardest one I’ve been asked on my blog tour.  I keep changing my answer because, the truth is, I deeply love all my characters.  At this point, I’ve spent so much time with them that they feel very real to me.  Earlier today, I wrote a scene for Submerge (the second book in the Mer Chronicles) that featured Caspian, Lia’s best friend.  So for today (and on many, many days), he is my favorite.            When I started Emerge, I knew that, like Lia, I would fall hard for Clay since he’s exactly the guy I would have crushed on in high school.  But Caspian snuck up on me.  I never expected I’d feel quite as strongly as I do about the observant, insightful merman who has been Lia’s closest friend since they were guppies.  With the number of hours every day he spends swimming, I knew he’d be buff.  And with his sandy bond hair falling into his ocean blue eyes, I knew he’d be handsome.  But it was his personality, which (no pun intended) emerged as I was writing him, that really drew me in.  He’s reserved, so it’s easy to underestimate him, but he’s sosmart and caring—and he sincerely values learning, which is a trait I can’t resist.             Okay, I’ll stop gushing.  Suffice it to say, Caspian, with his quiet contemplation and fierce loyalty, stole my heart.  And I hope he does the same to readers.
Ask me tomorrow and I’ll pick Clay.  Or Melusine.
