Game: Character Hunt

[Charlotte]

If the above clue doesn't ring a bell, think about the character's secret. What would cause someone to be different from other boys, and make the person fear for their dreams of knighthood if discovered? Once you know the secret, you'll know who the character is.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I thought it could be The Lightning Thief but that doesn't fit...

[Charlotte]

Lightning is on the cover, but not in the title. Lightning refers to something else.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

He's gay? (Not that there is anything wrong with that, quoting Sienfeld) He's a murderer? He's an alien? He has three nipples?

LOL! Hmmm - this is hard - I'm not a boy and I've never wanted to be a knight, so I'm not sure what I would fear! ;) I'm also pretty sure I haven't read this book - I say this with a bit of trepidation, as I have also not guessed another couple of books, but I had read them!

[Charlotte]

It's on two of your shelves and eight of mine. As for the secret, the character is very different from the boys in just one way. Who were the people who were not allowed to become knights?

Some of your guesses were funny. Aliens and three nipples. Lol!

[Gen]

Alanna? but there is no lightning on the cover.

You're correct! It is Alanna. By Lightning, I didn't mean the lightning you see in a storm, I was referring to her sword named Lightning. That is on the cover.

[Gen]

I have 2 sisters and I'm the oldest. I work in a hat shop and often speak to the hats. I have the body of an old woman since I was cursed by a powerful witch.

Hmmm - I think I remember reading a precis for this... but I'm pretty sure it isn't on my TBR shelf... There was a bit of discussion about this book a month or two ago... Off to scout...

Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle

I love love this book!

[Gen]

It is Sophie. I too LOVE this book.

[Vi]

Ok, it's my turn. Hmmm, who, who? Here goes.

I'm a near-broke witch and I help out the police department occasionally by talking to the dead. Who am I?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Rachel Morgan from Dead Witch Walking?

I've haven't read this book, so I'm not sure...

[Gen]

Alex Craft? Grave Witch

[Vi]

Gen is right. Sorry, Jane!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Well done Gen!

That's OK Vi - I haven't read either book so it was just a stab in the dark :)

[Gen]

I'm a master vampire over 4000 years old. My wife was a cruel woman. I recently fell in love with a P.I.

[Tania]

Mencheres from Eternal Kiss of Darkness?

[Gen]

Yep, your turn!

[Tania]

I'm a man who made the mistake of falling in love with his best friends woman. Okay, I also have the hots for my friend as well. What can I say - she is unbelievably strong despite the terrible tragedy she's had in her life and he's so *half groans*... yeah. Who can blame me really. I know that moving this to a permanent relationship isn't going to go down well with our families. Well except for hers cause she has the coolest family in the world - strong supporting and loving. I guess when you've been through what they have you stick together.

Ben Copeland? Laid Bare

[Tania]

You got it - tag you're it.

[Gen]

That's awesome :)

[Gen]

Your turn, Tania.

[Tania]

I'm a handy man living in a small town. I've been secretly in love with the B&B owner since I first saw her. The entire town knows - if only she would realise.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - I can't believe Papa Smurf made this thread! Good one Gen ;)

(I've just added Laid Bare to my wishlist ;)

C'mon Gen - who is this? Sounds like another book I might like to add! (LOL)

[Tania]

Jane - how have you not read the Brown Siblings series!!! When it comes to my all time favourite (fiction) men I'm hard pressed to choose between Roarke and Brody!

Well I don't know!?

I read another of her books - Giving Chase but I really didn't enjoy it enough to give her next book in the series another go... But this is a different series...?

Thanks Yz ;)

[Yz the Whyz, Moderator]

Scarred and with mismatched eyes, I can't believe that someone would want me, especially one annoying minor goddess who has a penchant for mischief.

OKay, I missed all that excitement. The only one I was able to guess after my turn was Papa Smurf. :( :(

I feel like I know Jane's character but I'm missing it.

[Gen]

Hmmm - interesting... I don't think I know this one...

[Charlotte]

Could we have another hint?

[Gen]

The drop-dead gorgeous vampire who saved me is a campaign manager for a Vampire Nation presidential candidate.

[Danyelle]

not a clue

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

No idea either :)

...Another clue?
