An Insight Of The Characters' World: Guest Post + Giveaway by Lenore Appelhans



This is a feature where I ask authors to do a guest post discussing about the background of their books and share their experiences in creating the world in which the characters are portrayed.For more info on this feature,click HERE.

Today,Lenore Appelhans stops by at my blog to share her experiences in creating the characters' world for her debut,LEVEL 2,which comes out on January 15th.Here's a bit of info on herself and her debut novel.

Level 2 (The Memory Chronicles, #1)LEVEL 2 by LENORE APPELHANS

Since her untimely death the day before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in Level 2, a stark white afterlife located between our world and the next. Along with her fellow drones, Felicia passes the endless hours reliving memories of her time on Earth and mourning what she’s lost—family, friends, and Neil, the boy she loved.

Then a girl in a neighboring chamber is found dead, and nobody but Felicia recalls that she existed in the first place. When Julian—a dangerously charming guy Felicia knew in life—comes to offer Felicia a way out, Felicia learns the truth: If she joins the rebellion to overthrow the Morati, the angel guardians of Level 2, she can be with Neil again.

Suspended between Heaven and Earth, Felicia finds herself at the center of an age-old struggle between good and evil. As memories from her life come back to haunt her, and as the Morati hunt her down, Felicia will discover it’s not just her own redemption at stake… but the salvation of all mankind.

    1. I agree Emily.Lots of authors have interpreted the afterlife in their books in different ways,but this one's absolutely unique.I'm currently reading this book and to be honest,I've never read about the afterlife being interpreted in such a distinguished way before. :)

  10. Afterlife books are among my favourite reads - but of course they have to be unique. I'd recommend what is probably the forefather of this genre - "Remember Me" by Christopher Pike, 1989 - to everyone. Not as glamorous as some more recent books, but still remarkable.

    Thank you for this giveaway! Though I'm not sure if all the entries are required, because if they are, I automatically disqualify...what with not being on Twitter and such :(
