Breathless Reads Interview Week: Lili Peloquin, author of THE INNOCENTS
Welcome to the Breathless Reads Interview Week! Each day this week, I'm posting a new interview from one of the five Fall 2012 Breathless Reads Authors. Comment on each interview, and you can win an ARC. Comment on all five interviews, and you're entered to win a box set of all the books! Keep reading for more details on the contest and more ways to win!
Today, we're celebrating Lili Peloquin, author of THE INNOCENTS! THE INNOCENTS is a contemporary novel--with a twist. It's like a soap opera and a mystery all in one. Also? the name of the town it's set in is Serenity Point. Doesn't that sound awesome?

Now for the Interview! Because there's five books in the 2012 Breathless Reads line-up, I've got five questions for the authors.
1. Please describe your book in five words:
Haunted, moody, smoldering, seductive, suspenseful.
2. Please describe your main character in five words:
I’ve got two main characters, so you have to give me some
leeway here.
Alice:
smart, thoughtful, observant, careful, romantic.
Charlie:
impulsive, headstrong, passionate, fun-loving, loyal
3. Now the tough one! Describe yourself in five words:
Impatient, watchful, private, bookish, bad-tempered. (I sound like a delight, don’t I?)
4. Can you give us a hint about what makes your book
“breathless”?
To me the ne
plus ultra genre combination in books as
well as in movies is the whodunit and the soap opera. There’s
nothing I flip over more than a story
that’s able to mix narrative suspense with nuanced characters. So, The Innocents—I
think, I hope—leaves you breathless in two senses: twisty plot and sheer
sexiness!
5. What are five other books that have left you breathless?
I can tell you five books that definitely left me sans
breath: Falling
Kingdom by Morgan
Rhodes, Origin by Jessica Khoury, Venom by Fiona Paul, Black City by Elizabeth Richards, and A Million Suns: An Across the Universe Novel
by Beth Revis. Aw, thanks! :)
The five books
that have influenced me the most are: The
Magus by John Fowles, Great
Expectations by Charles Dickens, Lulu
Incognito by Raymond Kennedy, Rebecca
by Daphne du Maurier, and The Secret
History by Donna Tartt.
And now for the contest!!

Totally adding The Innocents to my 'to read' list! I love the description of Alice and Charlie because I can relate my own sister and I to their personalities. Can't wait to read it!

This book sounds completely breathless and amazing, and is definitely going on my to-read shelf!!!
I'm really interested in this one. I like that there are two main characters. Seems very ... Breathless.
Love a good soap opera...as long as the characters are interesting, which, thank goodness, does not sound like a problem here. Can't wait to read.
Two main characters? Not a problem they both sound interesting here! and the cover!! Who designs this stuff??!! Talented author and talented cover artist! Sounds promising!
