Hello wonderful readers of Head Stuck In A Book. I am Audrey. Law hired me to conduct all
her celebrity interviews, and today I am interviewing Don Shimada. Starring as
Blissany’s hot crush and partner in crime to world salvation in the fantasy
romance novel Superheroes Wear Faded Denim, I have been told he is a walking,
talking love potion. Warning ladies, reading this might cause you to fall in
love instantly.
Just to give you a brief introduction. Don
is 6’4 with a runner’s physique. He has short black hair, dreamy brown eyes,
and a face made for the cover of teen romances. A senior studying pre-law, his
life-long pursuit is saving damsels in distress.
Now I took this interview in my living
room. Bookshelves line every inch of my wall. Thick Victorian styled couches
stuffed with pillows encircle a coffee table where two cups of hot chocolate sit.
While sitting in such an intimate setting, I boldly asked Don:
In
what way, or area, do you think women are superior to men:
They have bigger boobs. Anything with boobs
is superior.
Not funny? Don’t hit me. Okay, I’ll be
serious. Their bodies. No, I’m being serious. The fact their bodies can you
know, create. Then they nurture. Men don’t nurture, not like women. If they
did, there’d be less war.
How
does it feel being caught in a love triangle between two equally gorgeous
women:
The dangers of being handsome, let me tell
you. Kidding. It’s stressful. My life is on the line here. Trying to balance a
war on evil and a social life is hard enough as it is. Then when I’m not
fighting, I have to deal with women.
Demi is sexy. Just thinking about it is
making me warm. She’s smart, witty, and dangerous. If you asked me a year ago
if I’d date her, my answer would be, are you crazy? Then there’s Blissany. She’s
so sweet, pure, shy, awkward. My god, she is awkward. Thing is when you’re
around her, you get this feeling you can be you.
Oh, and why not throw Cassandra in the mix?
Just for fun. I’m not dating her, but from the way she tries to control my love
life you’d think I put a ring on her finger.
To
Fifty Shades Of Grey or not to Fifty Shades of Grey:
I don’t even know what the hell that is.
Given
24 hours all by yourself and money is no object, what would you do:
Train. Run. You don’t need money to run.
Have you heard of barefoot running? Don’t cringe. That’s why women have
pedicures. When running, a forefoot or midfoot strike is better than a heel
strike. It causes less stress on your joints, enabling you to run easier on
hard surfaces. You’re more likely to run with a forefoot strike if you run
barefoot.
I know we don’t have time for this, but
read up on the Tarahumara’s and other tribes who run barefoot.
What
are 3 qualities you look for in a friend:
1. Trust
2. Goals
3. Kindness
What is one lesson a past relationship taught you:
Cassandra taught me nothing. I taught her
everything. I’m joking. Although I did teach her how to cook, and now she
thinks I’m her personal chef. Never give a key to your ex. Don’t ever give them
your phone number. The day you break up with them, change it.
Your
mother is Vietnamese and your father Japanese. What is that like:
Both my mother and father have huge pride
in their cultures. Thing is Vietnamese and Japanese cultures are very
different. Some of it goes deeper than just the languages and the types of food
we bring to the dinner table. You have to accept culture shapes how we view the
world. Our different viewpoints provide opportunities for disagreement.
There we go. That’s the one thing dating
Cassandra taught me. You have to be open. The person you’re dating is not
always going to see the world as you do. That’s something you both have to
overcome.
What
is the best compliment you have ever received:
I receive so many on a daily basis, where
do I start? This might sound cheesy, but I do volunteer a lot. People tell me
all the time I have such a kind heart. What does that mean? I don’t know, but I
like the sound of it.
Review...
This was a very exciting and action-filled story.
The action pretty much starts a couple of pages in and doesn't let up.
What Reigns has written is an intriguing and original take on the Angel myth, mixed in with the reality of life, and the adventures of college.
Blissany unbeknown to her is The Key, she and Don another college student who is the Paladin are to be the saviours of mankind from a war amongst the Angels, and the High and Low courts.
Blissany's friend Wankiya is the Redeemer the King of the Low courts, he has been in love with Blissany for quite a while now, but she is interested in Don and so is her best-friend Demi.
We also have the Angels, Gabriel, Michael, Uriel and Raphael involved.
I liked the POVs of the different characters you could understand why they are the way they are and also their state of mind.
This at times was such a dark read but it had it's light moments as well which balanced it out.
If you like to read stories about the battles between good and evil, and like Angel themed books then this is the one for you.
This is a great addition to the New Adult genre.
I give this 3.5/5.
Law Reigns has an odd obsession with
romance. At the advice of her friends, she gave up the plight of playing cupid
in their lives. Developing her own characters to manipulate proved to be more
rewarding. After having studied creative writing at the University of Florida,
she decided to write Superheroes Wear Faded Denim. A proud Gator alumni, she
based her novel where blood runs orange
and blue. She personally invites all adventure druggies and love fanatics to
dive into the pages of Faded Denim, a story that transforms a swampy, southern
town into a battlefield for life and love.
